report losing $7,000 in a single night or seeing sales fall by 75% on normally busy evenings. In neighborhoods like Columbia Heights, street vendors say foot traffic has “disappeared,” with business now worse than during the pandemic. Chinatown, some shop owners estimate a 30–40% drop in sales.
It's almost as if the destruction of America is the intent.
But we are all "conspiracy theorists" when we say that...
If you frame everything he says and does as Russia having him by the balls and forcing him to sabotage his own country, it is the only thing that makes sense.
It’s a gift to Putin and China is happy about the destruction of America too.
Tis like the pandemic- now Tis epidemic of tyranny
Give RFK Jr. a few more weeks, I'm sure he's got something brewing that'll be making itself known soon.
We leave room for others to behave in unexpectedly appropriate ways

Are they pulling people out of their windows?????
Yeah...I've experienced militarization directed at black people & young people in general in my time. No one goes out except people looking for trouble. Those people accomplished nothing, but now it's the Guard and the military and the GOP looking for trouble. Surreal
Crackdown? You mean takeover. Cracking down on … freedoms?
still worried about the 26 midterms? Don’t bother
Isn't this the point? To harm the economies of Blue voting cities? The point is certainly not to fight crime.
All of these officers and soldiers should be ashamed of themselves. They are acting out fascist fantasies of project 2025 Republicans. They are not serving the American people, they are not upholding the constitution, they are not protecting us. They are goons. They are fascist pawns. Sad.
They should take themselves out of the gene pool at this point. They can NEVER benefit society or humanity.
The leadership in the chain of command, should be refusing the order. It shouldn't be up to the poor soldiers who are going to end up in Leavenworth for refusing an order.
What is beautiful about this farce, is that Congress flees Washington DC every August because the heat and humidity makes it uninhabitable. Think of carrying a rifle, in full battle rattle in that heat, I think Trump may face a NG mutiny!
This picture looks incredible dangerous for both the “officers” and the man inside the building. Do they have no common sense!? Or maybe I’ve watched too many cop shows where the police are smarter.
Way to go Trumpstiltskin
Trumpstein!
Confederate States Invade U.S. Capital City, Residents Under Siege!! *fixed headline
Except for WV. They seceded from Virginia after Virginia seceded from the Union. Not so much that mentality anymore. Ironically though, Virginia is far more liberal than West Virginia now.
“Out of State Guard Troops” or Confederate forces?
Great opportunity for him to buy land at a bargain basement price after running businesses into the ground and build a huge beautiful gold palace. Everything he touches dies.
We may need snipers. socialistra.org
Biden’s economy, wait for it.
HEY HAKEEM - you got time to go on TV, maybe hustle your butt down to where the action is…
Hey man that's doing something Hakeem doesn't want to do that
Is Hakeem Jeffries your rep?
I think he's the minority leader, no?
Is he your rep?
Is he your rep?
No, shithead Mike Lawler is my rep. Is Jeffries yours? This isn’t a difficult question.
(Crickets)
Yea... bc this is the 2nd time you've aggressively simped for Jeffries with me. Weird. Some kind of AIPAC bot or something?
AIPAC didn't approve that move.
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social 🧐
He apparently thinks he's too good for that .
Hakeem and hustle in the same sentence? Is he back from Israel yet?
My god this is awful... every Dem Senate/House staffer/office holder should be in the streets in DC NOW... Get on the Sunday shows remote from the street... all you Oversight Committee goons put away your Epstein/Maxwell BS and focus on what matters...
Pedophilia and rape are not BS. We can do both at the same time.
Where are you posting from—your couch?
This is so awful because they want us talking about this instead of asking where the Epstein files are. This is 110% distract and deflect. It's unacceptable, but it's also performative, designed to get us to stop thinking about how Trump's name is probably on every single page of the Epstein files.
It **ALL** matters!
are you in the streets?
How about no. They represent people who want them looking into those files as well as getting on shows and getting in the streets. It's not "BS", not even a little. Why spend this amount of time and energy at SUCH a cost to the public for no ROI >> the files.
Right!!!!!
The COVER-UP continues with bogus Maxwell interview release. Don't believe the pedophiles. Keep REPOSTING Trump-Epstein content. 👇 mdavis19881.substack.com/p/epstein-xi...
Release the #TrumpsteinFiles! youtu.be/R8AGEjj2Jds?... Or for an accurate understanding of the pedo-in-chief try this link: youtu.be/Q1xR3Xidq84?...
Can we call it Department of Pedophile Exoneration instead. DOPE.
True, very true!
The Park Rangers in Colorado are on the struggle bus. The bring all the friends who make tacos to Union Station to have get a ticket with no resources. Jared spilled oil and contracted 175K people to the for prison pipeline. He has a Utah Sheriff that never passed a history class. Drill baby drill😞
He's gotta go. Can remain in Congress but not as speaker
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
Wow. The three stooges
Well gosh I hope they’re catching more of those pesky subway fare evaders with all those tanks and camouflage.
They're really making themselves look stupid. Which is on brand for maga
This country is going to be flat broke and so much deeper in debt within the next year if something doesn't change.
America is trumps next bankruptcy. The only thing he is ever successful at.
This will result in lots of bankruptcies, people leaving and newly empty buildings all ready and waiting to be purchased by Trump's cronies.
Nazi storm troopers/kkk
#countrykiller 😞
Trump is a traitor
And because hospo staff don't get paid a living wage they're probably suffering the most. Hospo owners have been exploiting their staff for decades. No pity for them.
I’ve got a middle schooler whose class is doing a field trip to DC this fall. Middle schooler, mom and I are all on the same page: we will take a separate trip when there is a new administration with policies that align with constitutional values.
I would do the same.
I have a middle schooler who is supposed to take a school trip there in February. I am going to keep an eye on the situation. It is supposed to be an 8th grade rite of passage, but I don't like the situation there right now.
I was going to DC but not anymore
He is doing his damnedest to destroy the democracy and economy. When people are poor they are desperate. He wants America to become the hellscape he has painted it as to declare martial law.
Trump is going to destroy the restaurant economy in DC.
Perfect for them to come in and buy the businesses for cheap. They will own everything.
😐
This is the felon's America. What an evil person.
FIRE THIS CLOWN.
Making America great again, one blue city at a time. No surprise the people aren’t buying it.
He doesn’t care.
Yep this is MAGA winning
Wait til one of these pandemics lights up. Again.
Trump is causing our economy to tank further downward.
The damage is part of the goal. Trump gates black leaders and mayors, and gates cities like DC. His revenge tour is a scorched earth approach to autocracy.
Hates, not gates. Wtf is with AI autocorrect?!
Trump IS a pandemic!
This loss of business and empty, desolate streets caused by the Regime are what will lead to real, sustained crime.
Sue.
We were near the White House and in Penn Quarter today and both were near-deserted. Lots of street parking available.
Whoa!! 🫤 That's crazy. When I lived near Annapolis, we would take a train into DC because the parking was such an insane nightmare.
I wish they would talk in impact and not dollars. $7000 a night? Depends on the place. But a lot of their costs stay the same no matter how busy the restaurant. They still have utilities, rent, wasted food at first, etc. Most restaurants don’t have huge margins in the first place though.
Gonna be wild when he rolls out this party to other cities. Tourist interest in America will die for good reason.
It is already dying. Travel is down by a lot and other countries are telling their citizens to avoid this place.
You’ll never hear the lying liars utter those numbers.
A page from the fascist’s playbook: you’re not describing destruction if small businesses, you’re witnessing a lowered crime rate. After all, if everybody’s holed up, street crime is non-existent. Magzis have a genius for self-aggrandizing, alternative reality descriptions.
🤬🤬🤬
Almost as if the plan includes tanking blue cities’ economy by kidnapping workers and killing tourism.
that seemst to be the plan for the whole country actually. Also tanking education and science to boot.
That's the plan.
