Pirate themed DC Bike Party for Oct 2018 On the 10th of October, the DC Bike party took to the streets in a pirate-themed ride. The theme was based on piracy in the age of sail rather than modern pirates who often use a fishing boat with two big outboard motors on the back. |

The last of 3 SUV's in what may have been Kavanaugh's motorcade which had to dive into the garage past protesters
On the 9th of October, "Injustice Brett KKKavanaugh" reported to the US Supreme Court for his first day of putting his agenda into action. Just to enter the building he had to get past protesters. A three-SUV motorcade that dove into the building past penned protesters was probably him. Afterwards protesters in "Handmaid's Tale" costumes marched to the front of the building

On the evening of October 8, Donald Trump summoned Brett Kavanaugh to the White House for a ceremonial second swearing-in.

Sometime prior to Oct 7, someone locked a white "ghost scooter" to a lamp post on a sidewalk "island" on the east side of Dupont Circle, in one of the most complex areas of the intersection. Attached was a sign saying a scooter rider died there on the 21st of September and nobody should have to die to travel through DC.
On the 7th of October, the #KremlinAnex protests continued in front of the White House. This was the 84th evening of the protests. Again the theme was Kavanaugh's history of alcohol abuse and sexual abuse.

Residents of both Accokeek, MD and Cove Point, MD may have just won a major victory. In the face of unrelenting, "not one step back" community opposition, Dominion Energy is claiming to have thrown in the towel on building a crucial fracked gas compressor station in Charles County, MD near Accokeek. While this has yet to be entered into the court docket of a related lawsuit, it would be foolish for Dominion to publicly state they have cancelled the compressor station if they still intend to build in Charles County.

Video of the scene outside Harry's Bar
The sign in front of the bar at Harry's Restaurant in DC reads "Harry's Bar." In both 2017 and 2018, this bar hosted the afterparty for the Trump/MAGAt/Fascist "Mother of All Rallies." Like last year, total attendance at the MOAR was very sparse, but violent fascists were present. Last year it was "Based Stickman," this year Joey Gibson of Patriot Prayer was on the speaker's list and the Proud Boys showed up this year.
