Any chance someone has a link to the video on Mastodon or on an open platform?

Just leaving the scene of yet another neighbor being taken today. Delivering food to a neighbor, stopped, surrounded by multiple agencies of law enforcement and arrested. no pretext.

When law enforcement are taking away members of our community without probable cause, based only what they look like, it’s clear that what’s happening in DC right now this is deeply un-American and unconstitutional.

This federal occupation is not about safety — it’s about cruelty. It’s not about protecting families — it’s about tearing them apart. #FreeDC

Here's the video (hope it works)
Can't do full alt text but here are some quotes:

"We started our veteran sit-in yesterday" [Union Station]

"We educated, informed, and encouraged the national guard. Because our protest is with the military presence in DC, not with the national guard troops"

"Today we showed up for day two of our sit-in and they're gone"

"Exclusive − Trump doesn't want long-term occupation of American cities, Vance says"

Translation:

"Whoops, this has been a complete clusterfuck. We thought Americans in LA and DC would roll over and die. After all, that's what we would do! How were we to know? 😭 Now the sandwich guy is a national hero and we look dumber than ever."

A bunch of veterans ran off #ICE at Union Station, and then educated the #NationalGuard about their right and duty to refuse illegal orders. Now there is also no National Guard presence at the station. These #veterans say they will continue their sit ins across the city until all federal forces are out of #WashingtonDC.
