On Friday, the 15th of September, Trump was scheduled to appear and speak twice in DC: once to Concerned Women for America at 7PM at the Capitol Hilton (1001 16th st NW), and the 2nd time at 9PM at "Pray, Stand, Vote, which is a Christo-Fascist group that appears to have the bigoted "Family Research Council" as it's core.The second appearance was at the Omni Shoreham at 2500 Calvert St NW,during a 3 day hatefest also featuring DeSantis.

The decades-long fight to shut down Huntingdon Life Sciences may finally have a decisive ending. This is somewhat old news but is not well known: After Fortress dumped HLS under pressure from SHAC and DC-based DARRT, HLS barely survived. They merged in 2015 with two other companies into a new firm called Envigo, with a new lab in Cumberland, Va. In summer 2022, that lab was finally forced to stop their animal testing.

At 8:15 am on August 21, six Declare Emergency supporters went into the road and sat down because they were tired of society ignoring the climate emergency. They disrupted traffic on 12th Street NW and Constitution Ave NW in Washington D.C. to demand that President Biden declare a climate emergency and halt all new fossil fuel projects on Federal and Indigenous lands and waters. Laura Simon of VT, Michele Drossman of NY, and Anastasia Rogers of CA were arrested.

On the 17th of August, protesters once again showed up at the entrance to the posh private community so-called "Justice" Clarence Thomas lives in.

Protesters called out his corruption and pay for play politics as making him unfit for office. Can you say "billionaire Republican megadonor Harlan Crow" and "Clarence Thomas" together?

The cops must have been caught by surprise, it took them nearly an hour to show up.

Video of blockade arrests by Anthony Peltier 2 min 52 sec

On July 24, Generation Ratify blocked DC's Constitution Ave to support ratification of the ERA(Equal Rights Amendment). Twenty or more activists set up the blockade, while maybe 5 members of the forced-birth group PAAU (the fetus stealers) tried to counterprotest but were ineffective. Two pro-ERA blockaders were arrested

On the 13th of July, so-called "Justice" Amy Coney Barrett received yet another protest at her N Va home. She is also known as "the Handmaid" for her holding that exact title in the far-right Christian cult "People of Praise." The home demos continue, and far-fight whining cannot stop them. Only a guarantee of abortion and gender rights can do that.

Video by John Zangas:Celebration in front of the White House 42 seconds

On the 10th of June, some DC activists celebrated the news that former "Not My President" Donald Trump has been indicted on 37 Federal charges.

Even this may not be enough to put him in the "Big House," but it will complicate his path back to the White House. It's not a legal disqualification but being charged or especially convicted essentially as a spy against the US could cost him a lot of votes.

Video from XRDC raw footage 50 sec

On the 9th of June, DC's chapter of Extinction Rebellion blockaded the Wilson Building in DC with a lockdown. They were protesting Washington Gas's proposed $5 billion gas distribution pipeline replacement project.

Video in which the MAGA protesters are seen but only counterdemonstrators heard 6 sec

On the 16th of April, the so-called “Freedom Corner” protest at the DC Jail for J6 detainees (Proud Boys, 3%er’s, Oath Keepers etc) drew counterprotesters. MAGA meatheads are simply NOT welcome in DC.

It is very rare for anyone held in a jail to attract HOSTILE noise demos, but that’s how unpopular those who fought to reinstall Trump by armed force are in DC

On the 10th of April, protesters returned to the home of Supreme Court "Justice" Clarence Thomas and his wife Ginni. This came after the scandal broke concerning Thomas accepting years of unlawful gifts of luxury travel and hospitality from a billionaire GOP donor.

On the 31st of March, the Wal-Mart on H st NW in DC closed their doors, part of a series of store closings by this infamous chain. No reason was given for closing the DC store, but Wal-Mart credited shoplifters with forcing them to pull all the way out of Portland, WA. Wal-Mart never succeeded in forcing the nearby Giant Food at 3ed and H st NE to close. Years ago, any Wal-Mart that did not "Capture 100%" of nearby retail was deemed a failure and targetted for closing.

At this time eight attendees at the march 5 music festival there are still being held without bond over muddy shoes or legal support numbers written on their arms.

Video by 1000campfires.org explaining what S686 would really do 54 sec

DC Indymedia could be directly targetted by S686 (AKA the RESTRICT act), the bill supposedly intended to ban tiktok but as written can be used to ban ANY website. Still worse, connecting to a banned site using a VPN or presumably tor or other workarounds would become a felony.
