Doug Burgum is just lying on national TV.
D.C. doesn't even make the cut for the top most dangerous cities in the U.S., let alone the world.
The most dangerous thing about D.C. is that its police are now under control of a power-hungry president.

According to Reuters, “The Trump administration has terminated more than half of all federal funding for gun violence prevention programs in the U.S., cutting $158 million in grants.”
This comes less than 48 hours after the shootings in New York, Nevada, Georgia, among others.
We are outraged.

Today I testified against Texas’ plans to redistrict because no one benefits besides those in power from an inefficient, inaccessible, and gerrymandered government. Representation only works when the people are actually represented, not the party.
“Your zip code should not determine the weight or value of your vote and it is disrespectful to constituents for those of you in power to use your constitutionally granted rights to launch attacks against your own constituents.” - @scoutcardillo.bsky.social testifying to the TX Legislature today

On college campuses, advancing autocracy threatens our right to speak & organize freely, threatens education & research funding, and our most vulnerable students.
In this critical moment, students have the opportunity to play a central role in the anti-authoritarian movement.
