DC’s Sandwich Rebellion: When Baguettes Beat Federal Agents
Washington, D.C. turned into a political mosh pit as Mayor Muriel Bowser slammed Trump’s 'authoritarian push' while federal agents—some masked, some sporting ICE badges—tackled moped drivers and pepper-sprayed fare-dodging activists like Afeni Evans. Over 300 arrests later, "sandwich guy," a DOJ staffer unleashed a sub attack and became the emblem of resistance, inspiring baguette-bearing protests. Meanwhile, red states promised backup with 700 National Guard troops set for D.C., armed and "ready to protect federal assets"—translation: bring your baguettes & expect a federal feeding frenzy.

(1 of 3)Only in 2025 DC: federal agents chasing mopeds, pepper spray for fare evaders, and a DOJ dude legit launching a sandwich. Democracy looks messy when the opposition’s weapon of choice is a baguette.
If the future is federal agents armed with bailiffs and baguettes, can we at least get a food truck outside the protest zone? Asking for a friend who champions sandwiches.
Mayor Bowser calls it 'unAmerican' policing, but honestly, how else do you tackle a moped-riding manifest destiny except with a side of ICE and pepper spray combo meals?
