“We sunk a house to symbolize our very near future. DC is going to be underwater soon,” a press liaison for Extinction Rebellion told News2Share.
Environmental activists with Extinction Rebellion DC submerged a model "row house" into the Tidal Basin in Washington DC, near the Jefferson Memorial, to protest what they call the emergency of rising sea levels due to climate change.
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene was among the members of congress to speak out today against the military spending bill (NDAA).
Among her grievances with the bill is that it would require women to register for the draft. "It doesn't make any sense. It's purely a political agenda to destroy gender," she argued.
