Its Union Station in DC. I'm sure. Source: I live here.
What is it like on a day to day basis? Do you see the presence every where you go? Are people talking about it?
Its pretty bad. Its like an ominous cloud over the city. You don't get to see them everywhere but they're pretty common. The presence of the national guard is meant to be a show of force, so they are located in prominent and visible places.
However, the National Guard has mostly kept to the sidelines. I'm more concerned about ICE, Park Police and other federal law enforcement running rampant in unmarked cars, wearing masks, and trying to make themselves unaccountable.
People in DC are definitely talking about it. Many folks elsewhere are dissapointingly quiet
Thanks! It was really bugging me that I couldn't place it from that photo, it looks like a dozen different places around d.c./nova from that angle. The only thing that didn't seem right to me was the roof.
I guess it's just the angle, but that's definitely taken on Columbus circle looking west
