The Venezuelan Flag Flies Again At The US Embassy

Venezuela has recovered its diplomatic headquarters in the United States, as reported on Saturday March 28. The Venezuelan flag is now flying over the ambassador’s residence, which—along with other diplomatic facilities—”will be rehabilitated to serve all Venezuelans.” Following the failed 2019 US-led regime-change operation with Juan Guaidó as the face, the embassy and eight consulates of Venezuela in the US were illegally removed from the control of Venezuelan authorities and transferred to US-authorized far-right operators.

Washington DC—Longtime activists from the DC, Maryland and Virginia area joined hands on Wednesday night to cherish the life of a charismatic activist who kept night watch at the Peace Vigil during a most tumultuous period in its 44 year history. One by one they spoke of how Will Roosien touched their lives and left indelible memories, shared fond moments of joy and hope in their hearts. They told their individual stories, read poems in his honor, and shared their delight in the memories of how he influenced them. Yet they shared a common rumination that he should not have been taken so early from them as his life had barely begun.

The political landscape in Washington, D.C., is ever shifting. Late last year Mayor Muriel Bowser announced that she would not be seeking reelection for a fourth term, leaving a mayoral vacancy in DC for the first time in over a decade. DC Councilmembers are experiencing a shake-up with At-Large Councilmember Anita Bonds stepping away from a bid for reelection and the resignation of At-Large Council member Kenyan McDuffie, as he plans to run for mayor.. As the city inches toward an active election campaign season, Black and working class communities in D.C. hold little power over their institutions of health, education, and safety.

A Worker-Led Alternative To Billionaire-Owned News In DC

February 25, 2026 Chris Mills Rodrigo, Inequality.org. Create! Independent media, Media, Washington DC, Worker Ownership

The Washington Post’s decision — at the behest of billionaire Jeff Bezos — to fire, according to some estimates, over 40 percent of the newsroom is devastating for journalism and the DC area. Despite its storied history and name recognition, the Post had been struggling when the billionaire Amazon founder purchased the outlet for $250 million in 2013. It might be laughable in hindsight, but it’s not surprising that pundits and even workers in the newsroom viewed Bezos as a “savior” at the time. And for some years the situation worked well — during the first Trump administration, the Post recorded record revenues.

Washington DC—The Venerable Monks of the Dhammacetiya arrived in Arlington Monday on their second to last day of crossing through Virginia. Their 2,300 mile “Walk for Peace” which started in Fort Worth, Texas, 107 days ago neared its final destination of Washington, DC, their journey’s end. They will host a peace gathering at the Lincoln Memorial and at the National Cathedral on Tuesday and Wednesday. Thousands have queued along their long trek and waited many hours in bitter cold to watch the 20 monks walk past for a brief moment.

Give Shovels, Not Bullets, To National Guard To ‘Protect’ DC Residents

February 8, 2026 Colonel (Ret) Ann Wright, Popular Resistance. Educate! Extreme weather, National Guard, Public safety, Washington DC

I’ve been in Washington, DC for the past week battling the icy and snow piled sidewalks and streets, one week after the big snow and ice storm that immobilized the city for days. While using the city’s buses and Metros, it was very apparent the most probable danger in DC is falling on sidewalk ice and at the unshoveled bus stops. The National Guard, the group that was brought into the city by President Trump for the protection of the residents of the city, was doing nothing to protect its residents. Of the two thousand National Guard personnel sent to Washington, every day at least 15 National Guard personnel in groups of three or four were at various corners around the Eastern Market Metro stop.

Washington DC Turns Up Heat On ICE With Bill Banning Police Cooperation

January 14, 2026 Damion Dixon, People's World. Resist! City Council, ICE, Police, Washington DC

Washington, D.C. lawmakers are trying to put the heat on ICE and take a stand for residents with the introduction of the Safe Community Places and Policing Amendment Act of 2025 by Ward 4 Council Member Janeese Lewis George, who is also running for mayor of Washington. The bill would ensure that the District’s policies reflect local residents’ values and public safety priorities by prohibiting D.C. police from joining in on immigration enforcement without a judicial warrant or court order. The bill is supported by Council Members Brianne Nadeau, Robert White, Charles Allen, and Zachary Parker.

DC Residents Blast Trump’s ICE ‘Occupation’ At Hearing

December 7, 2025 Mark Gruenberg, People's World. Resist! City Council, National Guard, Occupation, Washington DC

Washington, DC - Residents of Washington, D.C., are upset and unhappy with Donald Trump’s ICE troops’ invasion, occupation, and deportations–and with their own officeholders’ cooperation with it. So a parade of 150 witnesses let the City Council know it in a day-long hearing on December 4. They didn’t get much satisfaction, however, from the council members who attended. Councilmember Brooke Pinto, D-2nd Ward, who chaired the session, explained the city’s hands are tied because Washington is really under federal control and subject to Trump’s edicts and his troops. Council Chair Phil Mendelson (D) gave lip service to witnesses’ complaints while pushing an unrelated piece of legislation.

Super Predators, Born Criminals, And The Black Misleadership Class

September 14, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Baltimore, Black misleadership, Cities, Occupation, Trump Administration, Washington DC

There is nothing more bipartisan in the United States than a racialized crime panic. Neither Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, nor Donald Trump makes a direct reference to Black people in their screeds. But their policies were and are directed at Black people. Which group is arrested more often than any other in this country? Who is most likely to be incarcerated? Whose neighborhoods are over policed? Who do the police kill most often? It is reasonable to say that Black people are the targets of this hate speech which comes from democrats and republicans alike. Even worse, the Black misleadership class gives cover to this incitement of fear and loathing against their people.

Peace Vigil Future Unclear As Trump Takes Down And Removes Tent

September 9, 2025 John Zangas, DC Media Group. Educate! Donald Trump, Peace Vigil, State Repression, Washington DC, White House

Washington DC—On Sunday afternoon, the Peace Vigil manager, Philipos Melaku-Bello reclined in the sun under a big red umbrella at the William Thomas Memorial Peace Vigil, reflecting on the whirlwind of events that occurred over the last three days. Just hours earlier, the 44 year old Peace Vigil was raided by U.S. National Park Police which tore down and confiscated the blue tarp tent, its frame, and cinder block anchors. As word spread of the raid, scores of longtime DC activists, residents, and supporters sprang into action. They rolled in throughout the day, like an anonymous army of loyal supernumeraries, to sit with and support Philipos and the other activists who staff the Peace Vigil. Among them were attorneys, activists, friends, supporters, and former Vigil staff members.

Pentagon Authorizes DC Guard Contingent To Carry Weapons Of War

On Friday, President Donald Trump threatened to extend the current military occupation of Washington D.C. to other major US cities, including Chicago, San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles. His threats to essentially impose martial law on major American cities came the same day the Pentagon confirmed that the over 2,000 National Guard soldiers currently occupying D.C. would begin carrying weapons of war. Speaking first at the Kennedy Center and again inside the Oval Office, Trump, wearing a red hat with the phrase “Trump Was Right About Everything,” said he was receiving calls “from politicians begging me to go to Chicago, begging me to go to New York, begging me to go to Los Angeles.”

Stop Martial Law In DC! No To MAGA Storm Troopers!

August 24, 2025 Workers World. Strategize! Martial Law, National Guard, Occupation, Police, Washington DC

It’s hard to keep track of all of the Trump administration’s many violations of people’s rights. But there’s one that workers and oppressed people need to pay particular attention to: Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to occupy the Black and migrant communities in Washington, D.C., and his attempt to take over policing in that city. Why is this important? Because it is a test case for martial law in urban, working-class areas where a large portion of the population is people of color — the case in D.C. despite the recent drop in the percentage of Black residents. This represents an effort to further ethnically cleanse D.C. — while the U.S. funds the ethnic cleansing that Israel is committing in Gaza and the West Bank.

Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser Epitomizes Black Misleadership

August 23, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Black misleadership, Muriel Bowser, Trump Administration, Washington DC

Black Agenda Report is credited with coining the phrase “Black misleadership class,” although that acknowledgement should go to James A. Warren, who as far as anyone knows was the first to use that term in a 2005 Black Commentator article entitled, “Thirty-seven Years of Non-Struggle Leadership.” Journalistic standards require that we make this correction, but we do take credit for popularizing this term which describes the bulk of U.S. Black elected officials and others in prominent organizational leadership positions. At this moment, a dictionary definition of the Black misleadership class should include a photo of Washington DC mayor Muriel Bowser, who fits the description perfectly.

Washington DC Residents Decry Trump’s ‘War On Poor People’

Several days after US President Donald Trump announced his takeover of the local police force of Washington, DC, federal forces have begun patrolling the streets of the US capital. The Pentagon announced Thursday, August 14 that all 800 National Guard troops President Trump ordered into Washington’s streets this week to restore “law and order” have now been deployed. Defense Department Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson said that in rotating shifts of 100 to 200 unarmed soldiers, the National Guard will assist Washington police and federal law enforcement by guarding monuments and federal buildings, conducting “community safety patrols,” and engaging in “area beautification.”
