"Do you want a good government or a country that's in ruins?"
This interview was too good not to share in its entirety. So meet Grant, a 15-year-old student from Princeton, New Jersey, who spoke to our reporter at the #HandsOff rally there.
He has some thoughts.

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you.
If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you.
If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you.

Trump's so-called "DEI Purges" are nothing more than racist bigotry. There's no other way to describe it. In his new video, @garrisonhayes.bsky.social tells the stories of Black military heroes Trump just wiped from history.
