Washington, DC, during the final 100 hours of the Trump Administration. A few scenes from my morning walk with @mkimmage

By Farragut Square

Dupont Circle bus stop

Old Executive Office Building

Washington Monument, as close as you can get

Security barrier, presumably against Vehicle-borne IEDs. Lots of trucks out there

Streets are empty. Mostly security personnel and people taking pictures.

So many security barriers. I’ve never seen anything like it in this town.

Starbucks

Immigrant Food is open for business

The World Bank sticks out because not boarded up

One of the most profound things that @mkimmage said this morning as we walked through DC: “an event of the magnitude of 1/6 will take a long time to sink in.”

This report drives home his point. Among the best audio reporting I have ever listened to https://www.washingtonpost.com/podcasts/post-reports/four-hours-of-insurrection/

To those comparing the post-1/6 situation to the BLM events over the summer: you simply have no idea what you’re talking about. I was here for both. The scale of the security lockdown this week — and the underlying risk of political violence — is a completely different ballgame.
