Went to supermarket to grab item. Parking lot packed. I think, here's DC again treating 4" of snow forecast like a cat 5 hurricane. Inside there's massive line looping ENTIRE STORE of people with empty carts.

I ask: What's the line for?

"Food distribution for Federal workers"

This is the very center of American power, the wealthiest nation on earth, with time-tested Democratic institutions and it has come to this. This was certainly not a sight I expected to see and it is a embarrassment for all those who can do something about it and have failed to.

And to think that all of this is so that one man can build a monument to white supremacy on the border of this country so that he can satisfy a campaign promise to the wave of racism here rode in on. This is America.

No I did not take pictures for those asking but did have a chance to chat breifly with a couple people on the line, both of whom were obviously frustrated with the situation. There was a journalist with a video camera at the front of the line outside, I assume local news.
