All in Public Declarations
On November 6, 2025, those who gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. the prior day returned for a second day of demonstrations. About 200 people marched from George Washington University to Georgetown University. By and large, the march was a bust. Here are my thoughts about and images from the event.
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.
Members of the Tigray diaspora held a march in Washington, D.C. on November 4, 2024 to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the Tigray genocide in Ethiopia. The group marched to the White House, and then headed to the National Mall for a memorial service. Here are my thoughts about and images from the solemn event.
October 31 came and went. For three hours, the streets of New York City were filled with ghouls and cultural icons as tens of thousands of participants marched up 6th Avenue during the annual Village Halloween Parade. Here are my thoughts and plenty of my images from this wonderful spectacle.
On July 17, 2025, I attended the Good Trouble Lives On demonstration in Philadelphia. Its focus was on civil and human rights, which is appropriate given the nod to the late civil rights icone and Congressman John Lewis’ pet phrase, “Good Trouble.” Here are my thoughts about and images from the demonstration.
Saturday, I attended Donald J. Trump’s parade honoring the U.S. Army’s 250th Birthday, which just so happened to coincide with Trump’s 79th birthday. Here are my thoughts about and images from what is best characterized as Trump’s Folly.
Last Saturday, before Donald J. Trump’s $45 million dollar 79th birthday bash (i.e., military parade), I covered a Refuse Fascism rally and march that ended within “sight and sound” of the White House. Here are my thoughts about and images from the event.
Before Donald J. Trump’s vanity parade this past Saturday, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund held its annual In Memory Day ceremony. Rather than holding it at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall on the National Mall, VVMF was forced by the Secret Service to move the ceremony to Alexandria, Virginia. Here are my thoughts about and images from this moving remembrance.
