What are the main reasons behind the protests in Washington DC?
What are you doing here? It's time to leave. We calculated the prices of ski holidays. Buy now the winter offer price train tickets. For example, Helsinki-Tampere starting at 4.90 and Oulu-Helsinki starting at 14.90. Campaign in force from 18.00 until January. VR. On a joint journey. Now that the worst is over, I look forward to the future. I don't have any life-threatening worries and sorrows. Together we fight against it. Because we have a life to live. Dokrates Mehiläinen Fever Hospital. These racist cops have got to go. These racist cops have got to go.
The protests in Washington, D.C. continue to grow. They get louder. They get bigger. What I just showed you there is footage from the U Street corridor in Washington, D.C. as protesters gathered yesterday early evening in order to protest Donald Trump having the National Guard become an occupying military force. in Washington, DC. Restaurants in DC are empty. 79% of people living in Washington, DC do not want the National Guard there. Donald Trump is now planning on sending the National Guard as well as active duty military to the great state of Illinois. He wants to provoke a crisis and an emergency there using an occupying military force and occupying military deployment in illinois to have kind of permanent military rule over that state so we're hearing now from the governor of illinois
J.B. Pritzker, who issued the following statement about Donald Trump's potential military deployment in Illinois. I just want to pause there for just a second.
How is Trump's desperation influencing his political decisions?
We're talking about Donald Trump doing military deployments in states, in the United States of America. I don't want that to be lost on us, what level of fascism we have right now in the United States. Here's what Governor Pritzker just stated. Quote, the state of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention. The safety of the people of Illinois is always my top priority. There is no emergency that warrants the President of the United States federalizing the Illinois National Guard, deploying the National Guard from other states, or sending active duty military within our own borders.
Donald Trump is attempting to manufacture a crisis, politicize Americans who serve in uniform, and continue abusing his power to distract from the pain he is causing working class families. We will continue to follow the law, stand up for the sovereignty of our state and protect the people of Illinois. Here's the Washington Post headline. Pentagon plans military deployment in Chicago as Trump eyes crackdown. Even that headline right there kind of embraces the fascism. Crackdown on what? Illinois is fine right now. They have law enforcement in the various cities. It's run by a very competent and popular governor, J.B. Pritzker. A crackdown of what? What you mean? is a fascist occupation of a blue state by Donald Trump as he eyes military style invasions throughout the United States, as he did in Los Angeles, as he's doing in Washington DC, as he's doing in Chicago.
As our editor-in-chief Ron Filipkowski writes about what's taking place in DC, as we learned during COVID, you know, crime tends to go down when nobody leaves their houses and nobody's leaving their houses really when it comes to DC residents going out to restaurants. As Amanda Moore writes, stop to grab dinner in Columbia Heights at Tequila and Mezcal, a place I've been to a hundred times. I'm the only person in the bar. I've never seen it this empty, even on weekdays near close. Staff confirmed this is not normal. Reporter Eric Michael Garcia writes, just had lunch with a friend here in D.C., and it's hard to state how absolutely nobody is dining outdoors and how empty the restaurant is. Very few people walking on the streets on a gorgeous end of summer day.
That's what's happening in the Trump regime in DC. That's what Donald Trump wants to bring to Illinois. That's what Donald Trump wants to bring and had brought to Los Angeles.
