Not much going on in DC in regards to protests/riots. Not surprising, as that place is locked down tight.
Sounds pretty quiet so far in other cities and states as well, which is good news.

States, too, have bolstered their defenses by setting up fences and barriers, boarding up windows, and calling in the National Guard.
So far, the large security efforts have dwarfed the protests that materialized. But the tensions remain high.
On Sunday, small gatherings of protesters, some of whom were armed, stood outside capitols in Michigan, Ohio, Texas, and several others states, but many other state capitols that had prepared for the worst encountered just a handful of people. All of the protests were peaceful.

Law enforcement officials say there is a broad surveillance net focused on people in the groups who participated in the Capitol attack. One of the prominent themes emerging is that the very anti-government conspiracies that drive groups like the Oath Keepers and other militants has become a driver to avoid the protests, fearing that they were being set up for arrest.
Some of the people most likely to attend these types of events are also trying to lower their profile after participating in the insurrection, law enforcement officials said.
Some have seen their faces in FBI posters circulated in the past week. In some cases, members of the groups have turned themselves in, hoping to gain some benefit from not waiting for the FBI come find them.
