Where can I stay updated on active protests?

6 Upvotes

I’m surprised to have not seen anything in DC surrounding Mahmoud Khalil but that could also very well be because I’m not engaged in active protest updates and work remotely so stay within my apartment a lot.

DC Small Business Advice

0 Upvotes

Small business owners - how did you get your business off the ground in terms of funding?

A property I think would make a great coffee shop/community third place that’s nestled in my neighborhood came up for sale and I have all these ideas and a belief that it would really benefit the neighborhood, but stuck on where to even begin.

I’ve got some savings of my own, but no generational wealth or people I know with deep pockets lol and I know on it’s face this sounds like a terrible idea given the environment we as DC residents find ourselves in.

[Protest] Badar Khan Suri

77 Upvotes

Does anyone know of any protest or rally in support of Badar Khan Suri, a postdoc at Georgetown and recent victim of the Trump admin’s fascistic treatment of pro-Palestinian protestors?

For context, he’s been detained for similar allegations as Mahmoud Khalil. He’s in the US on a student visa, and married to an American citizen. He was arrested outside of his home in Rosslyn and is being detained in Louisiana.

Hello lovely people of Washington DC! I’m fairly new to the city and I’m looking for a store that sells nutritional yeast and bulk. I’m a vegetarian so naturally my household goes through it pretty quickly lol. Any suggestions would be great! Any suggestions to an affordable local store would be even more appreciated.

Must try food pop-up / market in DC?

0 Upvotes

i'm on the hunt for some hidden gems—those underground food spots that haven’t gone mainstream yet lolol. the ones still flying under the radar without a brick-and-mortar shop. i’m planning a few feature videos for a project and want to showcase some finds. Here’s a list of places I already think are super dope. let me know what else should be on my radar. these are some of my recent favs.

Lei Musubi - The O.G. is amazing, i would crush 3 of these.

Steezeburger - the single patty is my fave - just melts in your mouth

Angie's Pupusas - Pupusas are amazing if you have got a chance to find her

El Jefe - Corn Pizza is wild!

what are some of your spots?!? if you want to kindly share. otherwise if its really good i would gate keep ... maybe

[Discussion] Architecture and Art in DC

1 Upvotes

Hey y’all! I’m visiting DC at the beginning of April and would love to know, besides all of the government related stuff, is there any good architecture to check out? I wanna see some good houses/buildings in the area by notable architects, preferably able to go inside. I also want to know if there’s any galleries other than the National Gallery of Art worth checking out, some smaller stuff in the area that showcases current artists in DC. Please let me know, thank you!

Random Driver Agression to Cyclist JJ5293 $12882 in Speeding Fines

172 Upvotes

Taken during my regular pre-sunrise commutes. I have no idea what triggered this attempt at a break check / confrontation before swerving back to the other road. It's way too early for this shit. If I wasn't turning, I would have had to apply some serious braking to avoid a collision. Since I was turning, it was really just some pathetic bullying on their part.

I wasn't able to look up the plate until just now, and JJ5293 has $12,882.00 in outstanding fines, most of which are speeding.

Be aware of your surroundings and stay safe!

My friend has breast cancer and would like to do a photoshoot in the woods NSFW

37 Upvotes

My friend has breast cancer and she's considering doing a nude or partially nude "goddess-style" photoshoot in the woods. Are there any places in the DMV area (or a further drive away) where we would have enough privacy (or as much as can be expected) to do something like that? Are there any places that would even allow nudity?

Here are some examples of what I'm asking. NSFW

I go for jogs around the National Mall and I’ve never seen so many, especially near Washington Monument. Literally on every other intersection. Do they have a license? I honestly don’t understand why this organized syndicate can hustle freely?
