The massive No Kings rally in D.C. filled Pennsylvania Avenue for blocks on Saturday.
Inflatables
Cheerful inflatables have become a popular sight at No Kings events.
Politicians
In the massive crowds, we didn’t get near the speakers on the main stage, but several blocks back, Cory Booker and Adam Schiff were speaking to reporters in a small media enclave, and interacting with the crowd.
Security
There was a substantial security presence but fortunately a very calm crowd.
Destruction at the White House
It was a massive shock when the East Wing of the White House was demolished this week. The surprise demolition started on Monday. These photos were taken on Tuesday morning, where a lot of rubble can be seen and the second floor of the East Wing is starting to crumble. Views of the demolition are generally blocked except for a sliver of view through the security gates along 15th Street, where we took these photos.
A glorious fall
As respite from the ongoing news and the shutdown, the outdoor monuments and memorials are open and in beautiful fall colors.
