For some strange reason people don't want to eat out in DC right now.🤷‍♀️ Trump first announced his plan to crack down on crime in D.C. on Monday. Reservations that day fell by 16% compared to 2024. By Wednesday, reservations were 31% below 2024 levels. www.rawstory.com/trump-dc-res...

Student excited to be in DC for their first conference poster session? Pretty brave given skin color + poster tube (AT4?) likely passes as cleared hot under rules of engagement.

Maybe the traitor felon conman’s MAGA GOP ICE goons are eating out more often now in D.C. and waiting a long time for their food orders because restaurants’ staff are gone, because of their evil work 😡

There's zero incentive to be a part of something larger when armed masked thugs, no ID, no warrant, no explanation start beating the sh*t out of people on the streets, dragging them to their unmarked vehicles and disappearing them.

Thought of going into DC to a restaurant a couple times in last couple weeks then remembered Trump/Bondi goons are patrolling the streets. Unnerves me more than DC crime. DC is a beautiful city. Militarization of DC is a blight literally & figuratively. Also, puts one in mind of living in N. Korea.

I stayed in DC 30 + years ago, visiting a friend. Loved it. Not a cat-in-hells chance I would visit the US now. I would even avoid connective flights. Many US army personnel deployed here have said they don't want to go back, either. I'm sorry for the decent folk caught up in this nightmare.

Part of his plan. He wants no one on the street, unless it’s his billionaire friends and supporters. In a perfect world for Trump the only people seen on the streets in his vicinity are attractive wealthy white people with a Trump pin on their lapel.

The sight of MRAPs cruising down the street is enough to kill the appetite. Military occupation of any city doesn't incentivize people to go out and spend money whether it's Baghdad or DC.
