Democrats are probably in for a rough ride this week. The Democratic National Convention gets underway today in Chicago and already there have been some efforts to disrupt it by pro-Palestinian protesters. This person jumped on stage during a welcoming party and started shouting about genocide.

But there’s a much larger march also happening today. Protesters have already gathered.
Thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters are gathered at Chicago’s Union Park.
This is expected to be the largest DNC protest. The crowd wants an end to U.S. military aid to Israel & a ceasefire in Gaza. Organizers have promised to avoid violence. March is permitted, start soon. pic.twitter.com/niqEsM7gYl
