Lafayette Square at the White House has been closed since January for a $17.4 million renovation with a no-bid contract. In 2022, the Biden admin. had estimated $3.3 million for the renovation. Tues. they took down the tall fence & replaced it with a shorter one. Weds. the tall fence was back. .
I just walked around the National Mall area in DC and there sure are a lot of fences & military enforcement to “celebrate” 250 years of our “freedom”. Having the entire National Mall fenced off is a logistical nightmare for families trying to get to the museums in the heat, too.
Lots of Parks service people working on the still green Reflecting Pool today- using more of our tax dollars to clean up the sloppy work of the $14 million no-bid contract we paid for. Nat’l Guard & Police stood where the paint was peeling to arrest folks who tried to take paint chips.

Protested outside the UFC fight area, as fans arrived. 3 take aways: 1) Trump used millions of our tax dollars on security 2) UFC fans are different from MAGA. Many gave a thumbs up when they saw my sign about releasing the Epstein files 3) No mainstream U.S. media, but plenty of foreign media.
Far more people supportive of my sign than MAGAs at the White House this evening, on the eve before UFC weekend
We're raising funds to get my friend Nadine safely out of the U.S. before the Trump admin. targets her. Nadine is the protester who inspired and mentored me in my protesting. Please help support her, if you can. No amount is too small. Thank you! www.gofundme.com/f/WarriorGod...
I’m grateful to editor Sharon Darrow for including my poem about the dismantling of the White House Peace Vigil in this anthology. THE COUNTRY IN THE MIRROR: POEMS OF PROTEST AND WITNESS includes poems from nearly 90 poets — some famous, some new. Available wherever you buy books.

Protest at the White House right now against Trump’s threat of genocide against the people of Iran
Walter Reed on Saturday, April 4 at 5:30 pm. No signs of Trump being here.
Protested on Good Friday at the White House with my Jesus-Epstein sign. Beautiful spring weather and tons of tourists from all over the country and world who want the Epstein files released.
Thousands here at the Free DC No Kings. We’re marching past the base Stephen Miller living on our tax dollars!
There’s a new Trump-Epstein Art Installation on the National Mall today. This one is Titantic-themes. And is flanked by these fantastic Trump-Epstein banners that mimic the banner currently hanging at DOJ.
Another protest against the war in Iran in front of the White House tonight - in the snow - with a several hundred people
A couple thousand if us protested against war in Iran in front of the White House - after just a few hours of notice. We marched through DC, for almost two miles, to the State Department and protested there, too.
In addition to our usual White House protest crew, we were joined by four fantastic protesters from Chestertown, MD on Tuesday!
The Sat. Tesla Takedown dance party in Georgetown (DC) is still going strong after almost a year. After, I tend to walk to the White House & protest some more. Grateful to the new protesters who joined us yesterday at the WH, including a woman visiting from Texas! (Tesla Photos taken by Fritz Myer)
