Inside the Congressional Dissent Channel: Uprising amid US censorship

Congressional aides, like many others in the US, face a risk of losing their jobs for taking a stance in support of Gaza. This is how these aides are boldly challenging US policy through an anonymous platform; the Congressional Dissent Channel.

Despite severe censorship and retaliation, these aides are finding innovative ways to express dissent and push back against the suppression of their views. So, let's take a look at the so-called US democracy and how it has pushed people to "get creative" just so that they can practice their rights, including freedom of speech and thought.
