The DC resistance isn’t manifesting this week as recognizable members of Congress marching up and down Pennsylvania Avenue with CNN cameras in tow, but as an array of ordinary DC residents documenting what’s happening in their neighborhoods and mobilizing pop-up actions.
motherjones.com
The resistance is active in DC—you’re just not looking closely enough
It's not massive protests on Pennsylvania Avenue, but happenstance hecklers and Nextdoor posts.

The Democratic Party has grappled with how to respond to President Trump’s aggressive push for new voting maps in Texas and other Republican-controlled states. But with Democrats locked out of power in Washington, their party’s governors have emerged as a front line of opposition. nyti.ms/3HwU0xB

President Trump made false and misleading claims about crime in Washington, D.C., during a news conference on Monday as he announced that the administration would take federal control of the police. Here’s a fact-check. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/12/u...
A headline reads: "Violent Crime in Washington, D.C., Is Lowest in Years. President Trump has cited false and misleading claims about violent crime in Washington. Homicide and carjackings fell in 2024, and D.C. police say the city is on track to record even fewer violent crimes this year." A chart shows that there were 1,584 violent crimes in 2025 so far. Note: Includes homicides, assaults with a weapon, sexual abuse and robberies. Source: Metropolitan Police Department
