From the Youtube page:

Disgusted but not surprised at Trump’s latest response to a female reporter the other day – ‘Quiet, Piggy.’ And this is the leader of the US? He’s revolting and more pig-like than anyone else I can think of. So, of course I had to bring out my inner-teacher and her fairy-tales again. Enjoy.

In some cases, law enforcement specifically targeted known activist groups, demonstrating how mass surveillance technology increasingly threatens our freedom to demonstrate.
