Nobody cares. This is a DC-centric site and there's a reason $/sq ft for DC real estate is twice that of whatever VA/MD exurb you live in.

There's a whole lot of DC that's not downtown. We DC denizens are just staying in our neighborhoods and having a normal weekend.

I’m going to one and possibly two No Kings protests in Montgomery County. One in the afternoon is less than a mile from my house. There are so many planned!


Excuse me, but what the hell does it mean to not be a “fan” of the military? Would love to hear an elaboration on the stupidity of that statement.

Do you know anybody going?


I know what you mean - we are absolutely going to be avoiding crazy LWNJ protesters.


Good. Because we won't be in DC.

I saw lots of MAGAs on the metro yesterday going to the zoo. They looked like they came from WV, KY, TN.

Probably no one, unless they live downtown. What do you imagine the Leisure World protest will be like?



My mo and her Leisure World friends love a good protest. I’m sure they will be out in force.

They are offer $1000 paid through Crypto for seat fillers. I think they need to know their audience. My MAGA relatives don't trust Crypto and think it's akin to Monopoly money.


This was fake

Then why would you post on DC URBAN moms?


Because it allows me to know how you all truly feel about those of us who live in other areas.

Disagree. He will still care very much about crowd size.

There protests aren’t going to be crazy. Go by one and honk in support. You sound a bit paranoid, so I think getting out will help you calm down.

And the biggest DC high schools are graduating that day, so that's going to be fun traffic.

I'll be avoiding the parade area but otherwise going about my weekend.


You could also not pay me to live in DC and I grew up here. Arlington, is safer. The City of Falls Church is where you want to be if you have kids.

I'll be in DC, working in my garden and probably attending a play.
