@ELaserDavies@iarnsdorf@JoeHeim@jeremyrroebuck This was a way less high profile event than the WHCD & despite our best efforts the demonstration was less interesting than the WHCD. Why such a more relaxed posture at WHCD?
@ELaserDavies@iarnsdorf@JoeHeim@jeremyrroebuck Two nights before the WHCD I helped organize a demonstration outside of USIP where Larry Ellison was holding a dinner to honor Donald Trump. USSS established a full shutdown of vehicular & PEDESTRIAN on Constitution Ave & 23rd st through rush hour.
I canโt find a stand alone video anywhere yet but it plays full screen on the livestream and itโs kind of amazing. It starts at about 2:30:00 on the livestream. (Queued up above).
Last week we marched from Wilson, NC to Raleigh @BRepairers. During the assembly on the final day, Willie Nelson sent in a music video of his new song โThe Heart of Americaโ with footage of the march over the past three days.

MPDโs Internal Affairs Bureau is on scene of an Officer-Involved Shooting involving the United States Marshals Service in the 3700 block of Hayes Street, NE.
No MPD members were involved in this incident.
Your National Guard members in the District supported first responders, helped stranded motorists, and maintained a visible presence across DC as the winter storm slowed the city down. That's because when conditions get tough, we bring mobility, manpower and discipline.
The DC Guard posted feel-good photos and videos about how theyโre โhelpingโ during the snow storm. Not a single goddamn shovel or plow in any one of those photos or videos. 2,500 soldiers and not a single shovel. If youโre going to occupy our city do something useful.
"When our communities need help, we respond. And that's everything from providing life saving aid to just simple things like helping people get unstuck from the side of the snow bank." - Col. Larry Doane, commander of the D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force. #DCSafe
@MAPatriot1630@MayorBowser The National Guard has historically been really effective at responding to natural disasters. Civilian law-enforcement, not so much.
@CHRIS_T1SDALE@MayorBowser Oh I thought the national Guard might have some plows, snow blowers, gators, or other tools to help. But yeah if they just have shovels then maybe they could focus on the bus stops, intersections and other priority areas.
@xtrixcyclex@JakeSherman There are approximately 2,000 National Guard still deployed in DC and about 1,100 miles of road. If each soldier was responsible for digging out a quarter mile of road per day, our streets would have been clear by yesterday.
