Looks like a unite the right rally, but without the polos and khakis!

Was this intended to be a whites-only event?

I was there. It was diverse. Sure, there were more white people, because we are using our privilege. If it were too many Black people, Trump would have had Feds open fire. And forget about brown people joining, IcE would swoop in. Anyway, the problem with Trump is because of white people being scared of the black and browning of America. It’s our job to fix this.

The protests are useful in letting people know that others are not OK with the US's descent into authoritarianism.

Literally they are protesting troops in DC who are sweeping anyone not white enough off the streets. Geez, open your eyes people.


I thought the NG was just standing around doing nothing? Which is it?

FBI, DHS, alphabet soup

It was amazing! Lots of positive energy. Very diverse, in age and race. Curious the numbers but regardless, nice to see people care.


"Caring" and effective activity are not necessarily the same thing.


+1. And if all you have is "positive energy," whatever the hell that is, I'm not sure what was accomplished. Except that you can all pat yourselves on the back and ensure that you get in your 10,000 steps today.

I know protesting is not enough, but it’s still important and a lot of people showed up. We are the majority not MAGA.

You need to open your eyes and perhaps get counseling to address your anxiety.

You know who truly lost their freedom? The innocent victims who died at the hands of folks who committed crimes.

Can you cite a source for these figures?


104 murders now as of September 2, per MPD:

https://mpdc.dc.gov/dailycrime

The 101 figure is off by 1. There were 100 murders as of August 11, 2025, the day before the guard was deployed:

https://www.aol.com/dc-100th-homicide-puts-popular-161505436.html

That’s 4 murders from August 12 - September 2 in a city that saw 100 homicides between January 1 and August 11, around a 14 murders/month average. It’s around a 300% decrease in the murder rate.


OMFG!!!! A 300% DECREASE IN MURDER?! We MUST PROTEST NOOOOWWWW!



What was wrong with the old murder rate?

Stupid trump, saving the lives of all those young Black males.
