Mady Castigan, an independent journalist, innovatively protested against the Trump administration's immigration policies. At a federal building in Los Angeles, she played a recording of Hanoi Hannah, known for her propaganda during the Vietnam War, to U.S. Marines. Her act, combining historical psychological warfare with modern protest, aimed to highlight the absurdity of military presence during such times. The footage went viral, symbolizing the effectiveness of using creativity in activism. Castigan emphasized the importance of innovative forms of protest to create large impacts and to remain within legal bounds.
"I started blaring this propaganda that a lot of people would find very distasteful from the Vietnam War, and there was absolutely nothing they could do about it because it's a fully legal act of First Amendment protest."
"Defect, G.I. It is a very good idea to leave a sinking ship. Your people do not like you."
