Patriot Front And What Once Was Chocolate City

July 9, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Black Liberation, Patriot Front, Washington DC, White Supremacy

The story behind the now iconic photos of Black and brown Washington, DC, commuters who were forced to travel with Patriot Front white supremacists on the metro system begins almost 10 years ago. The Unite the Right rally that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia, on August 11 and 12 in 2017 was a turning point for public displays of white nationalism. Fresh off the exhilaration of Donald Trump’s inauguration, and angry that the city council voted to remove a statue of Robert E. Lee, thousands of white supremacist groups such as Vanguard America gathered there in solidarity with one another.

The coalition takes its name from the first three words of the Constitution: We the People.

A DC Wealth Tax Could Provide Relief For Black Residents

June 22, 2026 Kenneth Rashaun Woods, II, Inequality.org. Organize! Austerity, Black Communities, Economic inequality, Washington DC, Wealth Tax

Washington, DC is a city rife with economic inequality, especially on the basis of race. Black residents have watched outgoing Mayor Muriel Bowser slash away at critical social safety net programs while federal tax cuts further enrich the city’s wealthy elite, expanding a racial wealth gap that leaves the working class shouldering the burden of economic inequality. Local advocacy groups and lawmakers aiming to end this inequitable economic system are calling for a wealth proceeds tax, which is a surcharge on passive income like capital gains or dividends.

Genocide, The Non Profit Industrial Complex And The Democratic Party

June 8, 2026 Russell Mokhiber, Counter Punch. Strategize! AIPAC, Doctors, Genocide, Israel, nonprofit industrial complex, Washington DC

Over the past couple of years, a hybrid type of activist has emerged in Washington, D.C. To get a paycheck and pay the bills, they toil away inside the non-profit industrial complex – made up of non-profit organizations generally aligned with the Democratic Party. Then they have side gigs, where they go on Substack and podcasts and rip away at the beast, without mentioning their employment with the public interest group in question. In the May/June 2026 edition of the Capitol Hill Citizen, we interviewed one of these public interest warriors – Aaron Regunberg. During the day, Regunberg works on climate change for Public Citizen.

National Guard ‘Summer Surge’ To Strengthen Military Occupation Of DC

June 4, 2026 G. Seb, People's World. Educate! Militarization, National Guard, Occupation, Washington DC

Washington, DC — The Department of Justice has ordered a massive increase in the number of National Guard troops to be deployed in Washington, D.C., for the upcoming 250th anniversary celebration of U.S. independence. U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro justified the need for a summer surge of federal officers and troops in the city in response to “teen takeovers” that have occurred in neighborhoods like Navy Yard, despite recently-established curfew laws. The Trump administration—along with Pirro and city politicians who have aligned with the federal government on more policing and National Guard presence—has pointed to events like a recent teen fight at a Chipotle restaurant in Navy Yard as proof of the need for more troops.

Washington, DC – On Sunday, May 3, about 15 protesters gathered again outside the Customs and Border Patrol headquarters to protest the ICE detainment of Yousof Azizi, a PhD student and outspoken anti-war advocate. Azizi was kidnapped on April 13 while on his way home from dropping off his two children at school. Since then, he has been transferred at least twice, and has been repeatedly denied access to his lawyer and allowed only limited contact family. Chant leaders opened the program with calls such as “I-C-E, we don't need ‘em, we demand Yousof’s freedom!” and “CBP stop the lies, speaking out is not a crime!”

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.

Community Control DC: A People’s Platform For Self-Determination

March 13, 2026 Pan-African Community Action, Black Agenda Report. Create! Community Defense, Governance, Participatory budgeting, Self-Determination, Washington DC

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.

Venerable Monks Walk For Peace With A Gift Of Hope

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.
