And don't forget that on Tuesday, Hegseth eliminated a decades-old advisory group for women in the military, formally called the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services, saying that the committee, “focused on advancing a divisive feminist agenda that hurts combat readiness.”

“Why are federal agents able to escape that basic responsibility that democratic policing expects?” Dion said during the interview.

Exactly.

Well, let's just take a moment of silence and have thoughts and prayers for this man while the rest of his cohort continue their Fascist takeover of our country. Let's give this man the respect he deserves by reflecting on the inner good of all mankind while MAGA destroys all of us. Yeah.

MAGA sure loves to use "common sense." We're seeing it here in Maine with their arguments supporting the upcoming voter suppression question on our ballot in November.

But also, we have not had such need in decades and, in fact, I don't believe the entire populace of the country has had the need ever. In other countries, mass and constant states of protest are more common. This is new.

There is, as of right now, no coverage of this protest on the WaPo website or in their @washingtonpost.com feed.

So, if you (you reading this) want people to SEE this protest, you must share it.
