Pinochet Carried Out Terrorism Less Than Two Miles From White House

October 7, 2026 Janine Jackson, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. Educate! Murder, Pinochet, Terrorism, Washington DC

On September 21, 1976, former Chilean diplomat Orlando Letelier, his colleagues at the Institute for Policy Studies Ronni Karpen Moffitt and her husband Michael Moffitt, were riding in Washington, DC, when a car bomb exploded, throwing Michael Moffitt from the car and killing Orlando Letelier and Ronni Moffitt. The horrific act, which Secretary of State George Schultz called, at the time, “perhaps the only clear case of state-supported terrorism that has occurred in Washington, DC,” was subsequently tied directly to Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. The 50th anniversary of this event is reawakening memories of the attack for some people.

Washington, DC—The Organization ‘Hands Off the Arts,’ called on DC, Maryland and Virginia artists and supporters to stand in opposition to a plan by the White House to demolish the Iconic Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Memorial. Several prominent speakers told of the threat that destruction posed to the freedom of expression that for over 55 years has been a central national venue for the arts community. At one point as many as 10 thousand circled the iconic white marbled landmark. They joined hands and chanted “Hands Off The Arts!”

Trump’s Ego Arch Would Wreck Memorial Bridge’s History

September 17, 2026 US Army Colonel (Ret) Ann Wright, Popular Resistance. Resist! Arch, Trump Administration, Veterans, Washington DC

Trump, the divider and liar-in-chief, is attempting to construct his Ego Arch at a location that is the historical site of the reconciliation and unification of the United States after the Civil War. No matter how much Trump claims the Arch is for the 250th Anniversary of the United States, we all know it will be the monument to Donald Trump’s attempted make-over of the U.S. government and the City of Washington, DC—just remember the destruction without permission of the East Wing of the White House and the attempted demolition of the Kennedy Center.

Trump’s ‘Beautification’ Plan Turned Community Parks Into Policing Traps

September 6, 2026 Nick Fulton, Truthout. Educate! ICE, Police abuse, Trump Administration, Washington DC

The expenditures are enormous: $16 million toward a failed paint job on the National Mall reflecting pool. $5 million for bronze horse statues. Over $900 million toward White House renovations. Trump’s plans to “make D.C. beautiful again” are costing taxpayers well over a billion dollars and leaving local community members wondering who the renovations are really for. These forced renovations by the administration are affecting more than landmarks and monuments. In Washington, D.C., a large portion of community parks are governed by the National Park Service and are included in federal land.

What D.C.’s Election Defense Under Occupation Can Teach Us

August 7, 2026 Daniel Hunter, Waging Nonviolence. Strategize! Community Defense, Democracy, Elections, Washington DC

As we approach the one-year anniversary of the National Guard’s occupation of Washington, D.C., it’s worth pausing to learn what D.C. resistance has to teach us — especially heading into the midterms. Many of us are carrying real fear about how far Trump might go to interfere with this election. Our fear isn’t unwarranted. But it doesn’t have to be ungrounded, either. Yes, he will say outrageous things. Yes, the heads of the Department of Justice and FBI are trying to keep power for their boss and intimidate voter rights groups. Yes, if Trump could stop elections he would.

Washington DC—Third Act-DMV turned its projector lights onto the Smithsonian National Museum of American History (NMAH) late at night on Wednesday to highlight pressure to remove an history exhibit about tumultuous periods of the United States. The display focuses on the nation’s factual history of indigenous people, immigrants, enslaved people, and women, among other minority groups. It poses a basic question about the struggle of minorities to attain equality from the perspective of those adversely affected, during heightened periods of minority struggle to access the American promise.

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.

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.

May 7, 2026 Cameron McLaren, Fight Back! News. Resist! Detention, ICE, Washington DC, Yousof Azizi

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!”

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.
