Why wasn’t this done to Muriel Bowser when she showed up at #DCProtests for another cheap resistance PR stunt? She wants to increase the police budget, is planning a new $500 million jail, is owned by wealthy developers, and endorsed stop and frisk Bloomberg.
It was pathetic to see Bowser welcomed this way, especially after she declared a 7 PM curfew on June 1 that opened the city up for a military show of force. Stop falling for empty anti-Trump resistance stunts.
If anyone’s interested in how difficult it is for advocates for poor and working class DC residents to negotiate with Bowser’s aggressively neoliberal administration, watch this interview I did with housing activists @Reggieblack227 & @willm4dc
