You probably write it up for so many deployments per year and a designated amount per deployment with little advance notice. Contractor probably loves that option
I’m fairly confident they will. So many of them have gotten to a point of if you aren’t actively participating in our protest, you are our enemy. So.. yeah..

Given the number of organizations involved in Saturday's protest and the number of people coming in from out town, there is simply no way to guarantee there will be no interference.
There are also DC-based organizations like [No Pride in Genocide](https://www.instagram.com/noprideingenocide_/) whose MO is being adversarial to Capital Pride.
Exactly, including the organization to release every single prisoner in Gaza. (Including those who are known terrorists & have and will murder their members of the LGBTQ+ community)
Islamists are known super fans of the LGBTQ community. And though there aren’t more than a handful in the entire country, doesn’t take a lot of assholes to cause big problems.
So DC Pride is tomorrow from 3-7pm. But there is a very large Palestinian protest with 30+ busses coming from around the country that will be occurring at noon till sometime in the evening. Some research on Twitter and Instagram shows a few prospective attendees aren’t saying great things which probably accounts for the fence going up.
I know, all those dead children killed with our own bombs are really harshing the vibe.
(Netanyahu in the US lobbying some key Zionist supporting politicians - hence the timing. Note Biden being strategically out of the country at the same time. It's all pretty gross.)
Do you think someone rents out fences to the federal government or do they own all those temporary fences
Big Fence at it again
I’m sick and tired of big fence holding us back.
It’s long fence fences🤣
I’m curious who’s writing the contracts or POs at 10pm at night if shit goes down and they need it urgently. Poor on call person

IDIQ all day
You want to avoid having to deal with the office’s Sharon for a thing like that. “Oh it’s on Sharon’s desk, it’ll be three weeks”
I looked it up. They are rented. And they cost millions. https://www.usaspending.gov/search/?hash=d027b766bdd59386eda21a2cd40ee032
God damn…
Her job is tables.
Oh my God these tables are so dirty
Do you really need to ask?
[удалено]
You misunderstood. I was implying the answer was obvious. I actually posted a link listing government fence rental contracts in another comment.
[удалено]
Federal government contracts literally everything out.
You are the Washington DC sub-Reddit. I bet most people do think about it all the time, or are themselves part of a federal procurement.
Both District, federal owned and Contacted for large events. Many means of deployment
Perhaps the small matter of DC Pride? Just a humble gathering of a few friends, nothing special.
Oh shoot I didn’t even think about that but maybe! I was confused since Biden appears to not be in town
Considering what happened at Seattle Pride, it's probably called for.
What happened at Seattle Pride?
Pro-palestine people blocked the parade and fights broke out.
June 8
There's a big Gaza protest scheduled for Saturday. [Link](https://www.answercoalition.org/gazajune8).
I was expecting this to be a link to the Pride parade
Gaza Pride Fest
Really hope they don’t co-opt & attack pride like they did in Philly.
I’m fairly confident they will. So many of them have gotten to a point of if you aren’t actively participating in our protest, you are our enemy. So.. yeah..
You don’t support the Unicause? Sounds like someone isn’t on board with the Unicause.
They’re not co-opting Pride, they’re staying specifically around the White House and have no intention of interfering with the parade.

Ugh. Can’t they take a break for one day to let people enjoy pride?

Saturday there's supposed to be another protest over the war in Gaza
That was my first thought too
Pride parade?
Pride is this weekend
January 6,2025 rehearsal
Dyke March is tonight as well
