20:40Now PlayingHow Brave D.C. Residents Are Resisting Trump’s Tyrannical Military Occupation
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTrump’s authoritarian takeover of Washington D.C. has created a nightmarish situation for residents with militarized federal agents ominously marching through streets, arresting innocent people, and even going door-to-door to warn people against behavior Trump is “tired” of seeing. They even set up a checkpoint to interrogate people. In response, some D.C. residents mobilized to defend their community from Trump’s tyranny; some protested the checkpoint, while others joined “cop watches” to protect marginalized community members from potential abuse. In this video we’ll talk about the situation in D.C. and discuss what some residents are doing to push back, including Afeni, who was brutalized and arrested by police.
