The beauty and nightmare of DC in August 2025 all encpsulated in a few minutes.

That dystopian moment was followed a few minutes later by a beautiful moment in which another woman and I stopped to help a man who had tripped. After, she thanked me for stopping and I thanked her. I said that now more than ever we have to take care of each other, which she heartily agreed with.

(4/4) It's clear Tr**p's deployment of federal agents and national guard troops and MPD takeover have nothing to do with a supposed crime wave. It's all about intimidation, control, terrorizing immigrants and people of color, and showing people in other cities just what he can get away with.

(3/4) In the 30 minutes I was there, I saw the, I repeat, FOUR agents chit chatting and laughing with each other, getting coffee, taking a picture with a passerby, and chatting up a couple walking their dog. Even they know this assignment is BS.

(2/4) Here's a rundown of the sus stuff going down in the circle then - people walking their dogs, families pushing kids in strollers, people eating ice cream, a group of friends talking, some bikers passing through, and people playing chess. You know, stereotypical hard core drug traffickers. 😏

I'm still waiting on my checks from all the protests I went to in the 1st T***p administration! 🤣🤣

The Cathedral Manions and the Kennedy-Warren. Both very cool old buildings!

I totally want his 94 year old MIL to call this station and be like "actually I'd call social security, my member of Congress, and my son-in-law, the commerce secretary, to complain."

The CR would force the city of DC to cut its budget by $1b halfway through the year - a budget passed by our local elected officials and funded by our tax dollars. This is the height of anti-democratic I don't have a senator, so I'm asking you to vote NO! #taxationwithoutrepresentation
