All in Demonstrations

Refuse Fascism

To commemorate the anniversary of the election that brought Donald J. Trump to power for a second time, several groups held a rally on the National Mall near the Washington Monument on November 5th, 2025. Somewhere between 500 and 1,000 joined together, many dressed in fanciful costumes inspired by the demonstrators in Portland, Oregon. The group then marched to the Capitol and the U.S. Supreme Court. Here are my thoughts about the demonstration and the images that I captured.

The Money Shot

During the four days preceding Donald J. Trump’s military parade celebrating the U.S. Army’s 250th Birthday and his 79th birthday, I spent considerable time walking the streets of Washington, D.C. (when I was not on Capitol Hill advocating for Ukraine). Assuming the role of street photographer, I captured demonstrations, press conferences and other First Amendment activity. Here are my thoughts about and images of the many delights I encountered.

Ukrainian Days

During the week of June 10, 2025, I was in Washington, D.C. taking part in an advocacy campaign on behalf of Ukraine. We met with House and Senate members, as well as their staffs. The week’s highlight was having the opportunity to watch a screening of Bernard-Henri Lévy’s new documentary, Our War. Here are my thoughts about and images from what was referred to as Ukrainian Days.
