They deserved to be arrested!

Oh, I'm not with this group. I'm not a veteran. I just follow many resistance groups on other platforms and post their content here because you won't see this in corporate media.

I thank them for their service too, then and now.

MAGA Mike Johnson has unconstitutionally banned peaceful protest and prayer in the Capitol rotunda. These are not the first peaceful protesters to defend the Constitution by protesting or praying there.

Bless them ๐Ÿ˜ฟ we donโ€™t deserve these strong brave men and women ๐Ÿ˜ฟ
Society has really never taken care of their veterans properly, and despite this they are still willing to lay down their lives for what we were always told what this country stands for.
Letโ€™s make that country actually happen ๐Ÿ˜พโœŠ๐Ÿ—ฝ
