Two years ago today we were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for protecting The US Capitol on January 6th 2021. Almost 4 years later the efforts to downplay, whitewash and minimize what happened appear to be succeeding. I won't ever stop standing up to them.

Businesses are arguing that accepting cash is too expensive and they shouldn’t be forced to…but businesses literally impose a levy on those who pay by card…maybe if they want people to use cards they should stop charging people to use cards www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...
