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.

Something I heard today that resonated with me, because it seems applicable to current times. Frederick Douglass once said (paraphrased) Comfort is a threat to progress. Seems more true than ever.

Actual quote: "If there is no struggle, there is no progress."
