NBC live broadcast from DC (covering Trump) disrupted with tethered balloons for Gaza

Posted on 2025/08/23 by ironsnowflake

On the 22nd of August, activists at the DC media encampment used balloons on a tether to inject a pro-Gaza message into the broadcast by entering the camera view. NBC kept changing camera angles in a futile attempt to dodge this disruption from the air. Finally they gave up and switched to a background that appeared to be generated from stock B-roll footage. On this day, Gaza’s friends achieved air superiority over NBC’s silence on Gaza.

Orlando LGBTQ activists repaint Pulse rainbow crosswalk erased by DeSantis

Posted on 2025/08/23 by ironsnowflake

On the 22nd of August, LGBTQ activists chalked back the colors erased by DeSantis from the Pulse rainbow crosswalk for the second day in a row. This time however, the chalk was a warmup-and effective concealment for what came next.

Next came paint over and soaking into the chalk, in colors matching the chalk. In a few minutes, activists chanting “our history will not be erased” succeeded in restoring the rainbow crosswalk for real. Two local cop cars and one FL Highway Patrol car drove by without stopping. It is unknown if they were deterred by their short numbers vs the crowd,didn’t realize the chalk had now turned to paint, or their masters knewthe political consequences of attacking LGBTQ activists at Pulse would be exceptionally unpleasant. As of the night after there are no known arrests from this direct action.

It was at Pulse that a homegrown terrorist representing DAESH/ISIS killed 49 members of our community and wounded 53 more. This was the worst mass shooting in US history at that time. DAESH differs only in branding from what DeSantis and his minions as well as much of Trump’s administration are pushing. Much of their programs are the same. Daesh attacked Pulse, now DeSantis is attacking the memorial to those we lost.

The night after the crosswalk was repainted, the State of Florida reportedly sent yet another road crew to again paint over the community’s work.

Protest against DeSantis erasing rainbow crosswalk at Pulse temporarily restores rainbow pattern

Posted on 2025/08/22 by ironsnowflake

On the 21st of August, a substantial crowd gathered at the Pulse Memorial. Sometime the previous night, Christo-Fascist governor DeSantis’s minions had painted over the rainbow crosswalk.

Part of the protest was chalking over the paint and restoring the rainbow pattern of the crosswalk in defiance of the Governor’s bigoted demands. For now it was done in chalk.

Orlando CAN legally defy this demand that rainbow crosswalks be removed. Doing so requires boycotting the state’s highway funds, nothing more. Better to tax Disney and major businesses to pay for road upkeep or alternately defer road maintainance until this war is over instead of kneeling to Fascists in the name of hate.

DC report: Go-Go Party takes over 14th and U area as a craven Trump “patrols” elsewhere

Trump’s “Patrol” of DC with his Gestapo and SS seems to have been a “search and avoid” style joke. On 14th st where there have been so many confrontations a big and peaceful go-go party took control of most of the sidewalk. Trump meanwhile was reported to be somewhere in the Navy Yard area.

Vietnam Veteran Condemns National Guard Deployment To DC

Posted on 2025/08/20 by ironsnowflake

He walked around the khaki covered Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) military vehicles at Union Station on Saturday with a sign over hung his shoulders. It read “ICE, National Guard, DEA Get Out of Our House,” reflecting the collective feeling DC citizens have towards the police state DC has become.

The three MRAPs parked outside are quite imposing when one stands next to them. They don’t appear to be outfitted with machine guns or live ammunition and the sergeants nearby are friendly and engaged the public professionally when approached, but they were not tasked to reach out to the public like public affairs officers. They are here to show power. They are here to tell the public they have been to war and aren’t afraid to fight another one. They are here to impose fear.

Protest at Orlando TV 9 WFTV remembers six journalists murdered by IOF, demands end to corporate media complicity

Posted on 2025/08/18 by ironsnowflake

On the 16th of August, pro-Palestine protesters gathered at the offices or Orlando’s WFTV (TV 9) television station. The protest and vigil remembered five al-Jazeera journalists murdered when Israel bombed their tent, plus an independent journalist found dead a month after disappearing. Protesters demanded that US media such as WFTV stop parrotting Israeli propaganda that has the effect of excusing the killing of journalists among so many other things. In particular, they need to start calling this genocide what it is: genocide.

DC last night: Video of Park Police, FBI, HSI (ICE) in Dupont Circle over a DANCE PARTY

Posted on 2025/08/16 by ironsnowflake

Federal agents and US Park Police (themselves known to be vicious) swarmed Dupont Circle last night after someone snitched on a dance party for “noise.” Fortunately no arrests and no apparent attempts to detain people for ID/Citizenship checks.

Had this been Latinx folks having a dance party, mass detention for “citizenship checks” would have been likely unless deterred by the threat of physical resistance from the crowd. ICE does tend to back off from camera wielding crowds and from crowds ready for a good fight.

DC residents confront Cops and FBI at Union Station as they arrest a driver for a minor traffic “violation.”

Posted on 2025/08/15 by ironsnowflake

Video by DC Media Group

On the 14th of August, local DC residents upon seeing the FBI and cops harassing passing motorists engaged them with cameras and pursued them on foot. When they opened the trunk of a car whose driver they were arresting for some trifle, someone asked if the Epstein files were in there-and they hurredly closed the trunk. The video suddenly ends there, so the possibility exists the videographer was engaged at that point and had to escape and evade.
