There are SO MANY protests taking place in Washington DC these days, but I haven't heard of any that are specifically in opposition to the United States interfering with the sovereignty of Canada, Greenland, and/or Panama. I feel compelled to publicly express strong opposition to the idea of our government invading, annexing, or threatening countries that have done nothing to harm us. Does anyone in Washington DC know of any suitable protests?

Bro #WashingtonDC is fucked (on a lot of levels but specifically), WE NEED CONDOMS: if you work in #HarmReduction and have a source you're willing to pass along (the city stopped fulfilling our orders), or a bunch of condoms you can't move sitting around on pallets and taking up storage space, hmu I would be *thrilled* to talk with you wherever you are in the US!!

Gotta love today's morning radio talking about the same old Rally in the Alley and all the bars that have been closed since before the Clinton era. Yeah, DC was wild in the 80s

Washington Blues: A Government Town Faces a Gloomy Future
—
For years, Washington, D.C., was insulated from many of the economic forces that decimated many older U.S. cities. Now, as Elon Musk’s mass layoffs shake everything from employment to real estate, the region faces the prospect of decline.

Got in a nice dinghy ride at dusk last night and caught up with a neighbor. Then, had a nice view of moonset this morning.
@BrianJopek immediatly reminded me of Trump: " #belgium is a beautiful city".
Wow, so much happend since then and I remember my thoughts at that point: how could that possibly be OK for a presidential candidate?
It's comparable to not knowing there are #washingtonstate and #washingtondc .
Okay for someone who is NOT in politics.....
But how bad it would become? Even Project 2025 could not have dreamed about it.
So sad!
my boy and I have a trip to dc soon. recs? esp #vegan food or historically interesting stuff :)
