Left-wing radicals have been mobilizing near the nation’s capital ahead of the January 20 inauguration, which has been moved indoors. Since summer, we have tracked D.C.’s radical networks—their movements, methods, and potential for violence. After George Floyd’s death in 2020, these groups learned that street protests could yield political gains. Now, with Donald Trump returning to the White House, they’re weighing their options.
This network is decentralized, adaptable, and steeped in organizing social unrest. Black Lives Matter messaging is fading, replaced by anti-Israel rhetoric. As Inauguration Day approaches, Communist militants and members of Antifa-aligned hubs have suggested storming the Capitol, bringing “direct action” to the streets, and obstructing law enforcement. If these demonstrations unfold, they will have been carefully planned and ideologically incited by professionals, some visible, others hidden.
The network spans college professors, nonprofit leaders, and masked and often troubled militants willing to engage in violence. Those less directly involved play a sophisticated inside-outside game, relying on prestigious NGOs to provide financing and logistics while maintaining arm’s length control over the more radical elements, which do the dirty work.
Key components of this infrastructure include legal organizations, violent demonstrators, street medics, propaganda specialists, and safehouses, indoctrination centers, and publications. Though some Antifa-aligned groups from prior riots have gone underground or merged, a core network of the most committed activists—veterans and new recruits alike—remains active and prepared.
This is their unmasking.
~Snip~
The militant groups follow a formula: recruit, prepare, activate. Recruitment takes place full-time, year-round. Even when the streets are quiet, the nonprofits, activist groups, and anarchist “mutual aid” hubs canvas for new members, publish propaganda on social media, and advance their ideological line.
The recruitment tactics vary widely. Some groups use traditional, analog methods. Smash Racism DC, for example, explains that it brought hundreds of activists onto the streets through “community outreach that included congregational organizing, public lectures, flyering, and old-fashioned door-knocking.” They published a revisionist history about “The Long Struggle Against Fascism in DC,” in which they suggest that violence against law enforcement is justified.
Other groups, such as Remora House, man tables in public parks, offering food while passing out publications detailing their views and past confrontations with cops. Among the wares: the Direct Action Survival Guide, instructing militants how to riot without getting caught, and Towards Anarchism, a tract that calls for overthrowing the government. “There is in every country a government which, with brutal force, imposes its laws on all,” the book reads. “The normal peaceful course of evolution is arrested by violence, and thus with violence it is necessary to reopen that course. It is for this reason that we want a violent revolution today; and we shall want it always.”
While the Washington Post has called Remora House a “D.C.-based homeless outreach group,” it is also a networking hub for anarchists. Remora House’s co-founders, Aaron Howe and Shannon Clark, have both served as adjunct professors at American University. Together, they bring Antifa-decorated carts to distribute Metro cards to the homeless, as their group advances militant causes, such as riot-related medical training with military-grade first aid kits.
Next comes preparation. As Patrick Young, a key Shut Down DC organizer, explains: “Every mobilization, every blockade, every march has depended on a complex network of movement infrastructure”--the coordinated work of hundreds of people who “organized legal support, set up medical clinics, designed websites, facilitated trainings, organized transportation, secured meeting spaces, maintained databases, and took on dozens of logistical tasks that allowed movements to operate.”
The most sophisticated groups, such as Extinction Rebellion, function as movement leaders and training institutes for so-called direct action, a hotly debated term that has been used to refer to tactics ranging from blocking roads and disrupting transit to destroying property and attacking police. Extinction Rebellion teaches new recruits its methods, which have included dumping cow manure near the White House, gluing themselves to Capitol building doorways, and blocking major highways around D.C. At every step, it reminds aspirants that the organization’s goal is to cause “economic disruption to shake the current political system,” which is, in their words, “f**ked.”
~Snip~
The final step is activation. Militant groups always organize around a flashpoint. In this case, they’re anticipating what might be the most publicized event of 2025: the inauguration of Donald Trump.
They have been preparing since the November election. Two days after Trump’s victory, a coalition of socialist groups, including the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), and the ANSWER Coalition, gathered in New York City to discuss potential responses.
Miriam Osmon, the representative for the Palestinian Youth Movement, said that the groups wanted to “build power” and “draw more and more people into our struggle against the shared enemy, the shared enemy of the Palestinian people, the shared enemy of the working people of the world, and the shared enemy of working people in the United States.” Another leader, Brian Becker from the ANSWER Coalition, said that the first Trump
administration revealed that militant tactics were effective. “So many people went to the airports because he said, ‘We’re going to ban Muslims from coming into the country.’ Massive protests on Inauguration Day. We outnumbered Trump supporters. This was the anti-Trump resistance,” he said. The activists compared their work with the historical abolitionists who used force against those who opposed the Fugitive Slave Act. “People were pulling out guns,” explained one activist. “You can say it’s scary, and it is scary.”
After the meeting, the activists went to work. The District’s Party for Socialism and Liberation began organizing “to level a real fight back against the racist and anti-worker Trump administration,” beginning with the “mass mobilization against the inauguration.” One of the party’s leading figures, Sean Blackmon, promised that “if young people get involved in struggle . . . then we’ll be able to have that society that we all need.”
~Snip~
While left-wing militants may fail to organize on Inauguration Day due to flagging enthusiasm or bad weather—particularly given the recently announced decision to hold the ceremonies indoors, due to frigid temperatures—the new administration must act swiftly against those organizing for future violence. It should send a clear message: Americans will not permit activists of any political stripe to block roads, attack police, destroy property, threaten officials, or riot in the streets.
The George Floyd revolution is over. Let no one underestimate the damage it did to the United States. It’s time now for a counterrevolution, which entails a new commitment to public safety and civil government.

Commentary:
There's no doubt that the crazies will be out. The weather may take out the fair weather communists though.
From what we know of disruptive Neo-Marxist leftists, glad inaugurations don’t happen in July.
January is not romping and stomping weather. Plus, there are a lot of hardy MAGA folk in town with nothing to do, who might want to go outside and cull someone’s herd.
Then again, it depends on how much Soros and Iran is paying them as the weather will be a factor that each ‘protester’ will have to consider.
As it is, yesterday, a rather large parade of yayhoos in D.C. They called it a “March”, of course. The participants ran the gamut of abortionists, psychotic ‘environmentalists’, homosexuals and other sexual deviants, and, of course, a lot of children.
Neo-Marxist militants and Antifa-aligned hubs have suggested storming the Capitol, bringing “direct action” to the streets, and obstructing law enforcement. “
But the same people claim January 6 was worse than 9/11 and Pearl Harbor combined.
It is long past time to go after those funding these Neo-Marxist Leftist groups. Someone is funding these nasties to be there.
