Protest

The protester above was following guard troops on M Street with her sign above while wearing a DC Flag superhero-style.
And further down M Street these guard police were keeping an eye on this sketchy crew waiting patiently for the light to turn green before crossing the street:
And of course more sandwich guy posters hitting new targets: (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I’ve lived in DC for almost 30 years . DC brought out the activist in me, but I’m also a lawyer who has had and has a very serious job.
On the Fourth of July, I decided to hang the flag I have upside down outside my front window. That flag was given to me after I was a law clerk (during law school) for Senator Leahy on the Senate Judiciary Committee. They fly it above the Capitol (probably for like one second, but still).
In addition, I took a gamble and put a small table on my curb with a sign that said “What do you want for America?” I left paper and markers. People responded!! And they keep responding, so I’m leaving it out. (more…)
Thanks to J. for sending from Columbia Heights last night: “ICE protesters are gathered at the fountains and big police presence….”

From a press release:
“On Friday, March 14, U.S. Education Department civil servants, education advocates, members of Congress, and supporters will rally to demand accountability and shine a light on the devastating impact agency cuts will have on students nationwide.
This rally follows Trump and Musk’s massive reduction in force at the Education Department, effectively gutting its ability to support public schools, students and families. That means federal education programs will be thrown into chaos, key funding streams will be left in limbo, and millions of students will be left without federal civil rights enforcement when they face discrimination.
The stakes could not be higher: (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
Do you know what’s going on with these cars that drive up and down Connecticut avenue every day saying something in Chinese?”
Ed. Note: There is a Chinese embassy building located at 2300 Connecticut Avenue, NW.

Stop Elon’s Billionaire Grift: Hands off the CFPB
Monday, February 10
4:15 – 6pm EST
CFPB Building
1700 G St NW
“Dear PoPville,
If the irony of a billionaire trying to shut down a regulatory body that protects consumers from predatory corporate practices in itself isn’t event worthy—the legal overstep and mistreatment of hardworking federal employees certainly is. In addition to a sudden stop work order, employees were locked out of their offices today and barred from retrieving even personal items. Additionally, many employees (as with so many other agencies) depend on the agency daycare (Small Savers, in this case). Musk thinks people won’t notice his blatant takeover of a lesser-known agency. I hope DC proves him wrong.”
and
“DOGE has locked themselves into the CFPB HQ building and is not permitting employees to enter. Wait, weren’t they wanting everyone to return to work in person? 🙄 (more…)

From PETA:
“Because Whole Foods is selling coconut milk from Thailand—including through its own 365 by Whole Foods Market brand—even though PETA Asia investigations have revealed that monkeys in that country are caged, kept in isolation, chained for life, and trained through fear of punishment to pick coconuts, PETA “monkeys” will dump wheelbarrows full of humanely picked coconuts outside Whole Foods’ P Street store as part of a new international campaign against the company. The action follows PETA’s successful campaign against HelloFresh, which will no longer obtain coconut milk from Thailand. (more…)
