On the 7th of November, Tucker Carlson of both FOX News and the Daily Caller got an anti-Fascist home demo protesting his role in peddling Trump's racist hate. Trump's brand of hate as promoted by the far-right media is widely believed to be responsible for the recent wave of right-wing terror attacks in the US.

For years developer Geoff Griffis and his friends at CityPartners LLC have been trying to evict the tenants of the Congress Heights apartments in SE DC so a "mixed-use" condo and office building could be put up over the Congress Heights Metro. For years these plans have been stalled by tenant protests and activism. Griffis has had protesters at his house and WMATA refused to sell him a key parcel. Now, on the night of Nov 1 to Nov 2, one of the three buildings has burned. Tenants are urgently requesting assistance to replace possessions and repair fire damage.(GoFundMe page) Surely CityPartners LLC will give them nothing-the fire is just too convenient for their plans.

On the 31st of October, the Washington Post reported that Mayor Bowser has closed the family homeless shelter at DC General. The post reports this fulfulls one of her campaign promises.

The Post admitted 9 familes were disqualified from further housing assistance for "rule violations" and claims others have been housed.

On the 26th of October, transgender activists and allies showed up at Zorbas, a supposedly GLBTQ friendly restaurant just north of Dupont Circle in DC. They were there to educate diners about the ongoing murder of transgender people and especially transgender people of color in the US. The case of Crystal Lee was cited as an example. The response by Zorba's staff was to summon the police.
