(6/6) After a long afternoon, the Russian rally disperses in disappointment, and the Ukranian counter-protest stands tall in victory. Russian propaganda successfully disrupted.

(5/6) The Ukranian counter-protest took their position behind the Russian rally and disrupted the live performance with chants and megaphones. Parks police did not like the usage of megaphone sirens to disrupt the Russian live performance.

I do think that the drug war is just one of many battlefields that class warfare is being waged on, as is our current struggle with this administration, but upon reflection, it would have been better to post by itself. Thanks for commenting. I always strive for improvement.

(4/5) After their advocacy on Capitol Hill, Doctors Against Genocide reconvened at @solidaritycitydc.bsky.social for a final press conference #SickFromGenocide #NotAnotherHospital #BreadNotBombs
comment in response to post
(3/5) The group met with over 15 congressional offices to make their asks, including @corybooker.com and Rep. Frank Pallone Dr. Bollman had just returned from working in #Gaza, and shared heartbreaking testimony of the lack of food, medical supplies, and the breaking of the ceasefire in March

Bonus glamour shots of Rep. Maxwell Frost, just cuz. He can be seen voicing his support for the restaurant workers attempting to unionize.

(10/10) Eventually, hundreds of protestors from Freedom Plaza came over to show their #solidarity, and this group marched together to the John Wilson building. A rally is scheduled here on May 6th, as Mayor Bowser intends to repeal I-82, which increases the tipped minimum wage from $5.35 to $17.50

(9/10) Restaurant workers in #DC have been struggling to unionize due to #unionbusting tactics and the neutering of the #NLRB. They held an info picket at the #Occidental Restaurant to inform the public that there is NO #UNION CONTRACT!

(8/10) While this protest at Freedom Plaza was ongoing, another event was brewing just across the street.

(7/10) Later in the day, hundreds of protestors crammed the Freedom Plaza in front of the city council building. By the way, those are real QR codes, and I have verified that they are probably safe.

(6/10) While waiting at the National Mall, I spotted the @refusefascism.bsky.social banner on its way to Franklin Park for the march.
comment in response to post
(5/10) Earlier in the day, I stopped by the @maydaymovementusa.bsky.social 24/7 sit-in at the #NationalMall. Unfortunately, they were hindered by bureaucracy, and the event was delayed by several hours. However, at the time of writing, it should still be ongoing. Stop by if you have a chance!

(4/10) The march eventually concluded at Lafayette Park, where a rally was held. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social was a key speaker at this event. #UnionStrong

(3/10) There were many other creative #protestsigns and outfits spotted as the crowd marched towards the White House.
comment in response to post
(2/10) The crowd convened at Franklin Park and marched through downtown before going straight down 16th St, directly towards the #WhiteHouse. Spotted in the crowd was #Pikachu, and assuming there's only one in the area, they were just arrested the prior day at another peaceful protest.

Hey! I attended this event, and was with the group that marched down Constitution Ave, where some brave activists were arrested for their peaceful civil disobedience. I've got a bunch of photos and a brief write-up here: bsky.app/profile/ulzi...

Amazing! I had heard that multiple groups were involved, but had no idea who or where. I was with the group that marched down Constitution Ave, where some brave activists were arrested for their peaceful civil disobedience. I've got photos of the event here: bsky.app/profile/ulzi...

(3/3) After reaching Constitution & 12th, they stood their ground in peaceful defiance of police orders to disperse and were arrested. All 8 protestors now face misdemeanor charges for their act of civil disobedience. #GoodTrouble #CourageNotCompliance #PeacefulProtest

(2/3) This protest was organized to protest the first 100 days of this disastrous administration. They marched over a dozen blocks and were part of a larger demonstration that blocked multiple intersections throughout the morning. The group was accompanied by a large police presence as they marched.
