Seven people, including a city council member, have been arrested for civil disobedience during protests Monday night over President Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh.
Following the president's announcement, dozens of people gathered at Trump Tower in Midtown to express concerns that the nominee will set the country back decades.
The protest began peacefully with people marching along the sidewalk chanting 'Hey hey ho ho, Trump's nominee has got to go!'
Things took a turn when a group of protesters sat down in the middle of Fifth Avenue, blocking heavy traffic near the corner of 57th Street.
The NYPD came through and arrested the protesters without incident - among them City Councilman Jumaane Williams.

Protests against the nomination of the conservative judge broke out in cities across the country, including in Washington, DC, where hundreds gathered on the steps of the Supreme Court.
Among them was Sen Bernie Sanders, who told the crowd of protesters that they should be ready to challenge the nomination.
'Are you ready for a fight? Are you ready to defend Roe vs. Wade?' Sanders said.
'This is a tough fight but it is a fight that we can win.
'We have the American people on our side, now we have to go state by state by state to make sure senators do what their constituents want.'

Fox News anchor Shannon Bream had been planning to host a live show at the steps of the Supreme Court, but moved the broadcast because she felt 'threatened'.
'Literally had to bail on our live show from #SCOTUS. Moving the show back to the safety of the studio. See y’all at 11p @FoxNews,' Bream tweeted.
'Very few times I’ve felt threatened while out in the field. The mood here tonight is very volatile. Law enforcement appears to be closing down 1st Street in front of SCOTUS.'

Kavanaugh has been named to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy, who announced his retirement at the end of June.
Kennedy was known as the swing vote on key issues, including abortion, same-sex marriage and affirmative action.
Kavanaugh is expected to vote conservatively, forming a right-leaning block with Justices John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has been leading the charge against Kavanaugh, tweeting after the announcement: 'I will oppose Judge Kavanaugh's nomination with everything I have.'
He added: 'Judge Kavanaugh got the nomination because he passed this litmus test, not because he'll be an impartial judge on behalf of all Americans.
'If he were to be confirmed, women's reproductive rights would be in the hands of five men on the Supreme Court.'

There is a chance that he will vote to overturn Roe v Wade, the case that established a constitutional right to abortion in 1973, which was one of Trump's campaign promises

Unlike justice Kennedy, who was known as the swing vote on key issues including abortion, same-sex marriage and affirmative action, Kavanaugh is expected to lean to the right

One of the key concerns among women's groups has been over what Justice Kennedy's resignation would mean for the future of reproductive rights.
Kennedy was known as the Court's swing vote, and had voted to establish a constitutional right to abortion in Roe v Wade in 1973.
Trump ran on the promise of getting Roe v Wade overturned, saying that he would exclusively nominate pro-life justices.
Kavanaugh's views on the issue have been difficult to discern, but many critics have said the fact that Trump nominated him is a sign that he is willing to overturn.
The Democratic National Committee released a statement Monday night saying the jurist 'should not be allowed anywhere near our nation's highest bench'.
'Let's be clear: a vote for Kavanaugh would be a vote to rip health care from American families and deny women their constitutional right to make their own health care decisions,' DNC Chair Tom Perez claimed.
Other top Democrats have continued their assertions that the nomination vote should not take place until after the midterm elections in November, given that the same procedure was followed when President Obama nominated a justice in 2016.

Losing their shit. I love it.

Wait, I think 20 lbs of it was found recently on the streets of San Francisco in a plastic bag. And the most shameful thing about it was they used plastic. Total disregard for the environment.
