š½ Decentralization Isnāt Just for CryptoāD.C. Pushes Back Against Federal Overreach
Over 1,000 protesters flooded the streets of Washington, D.C. this weekend, marching from Dupont Circle to the White House with chants like āTrump must goā and āFree D.C.ā The crowd rallied against President Trumpās recent declaration of a crime emergencyāan order that placed local police under federal control and deployed National Guard troops across the capital.
Tensions peaked near Union Station and the National Mall, where demonstrators surrounded Guard vehicles and urged troops to āgo home.ā Despite the intensity, no major injuries or arrests were reported.
The move has sparked fierce debate over governance and autonomy. D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton slammed it as an āegregious attack on home rule,ā while the city filed a lawsuit challenging the federal authority behind the decision. The White House claims the crackdown is necessary to combat surging violent crime.
For crypto folks, this moment echoes a familiar theme: centralized control vs. local sovereignty. Whether itās blockchain or city governance, the fight for autonomy is alive and well.
