The symbolism is rich, robust, and deeply un-American. <end>

And it ends at the White House not the Capitol. Symbolically it the route is troops called from the Barracks/General Staff to render obeisance to the King, while demonstrating how the King can call in troops to awe the cities. 9/

The parade today by contrast moves west to east, outside to in. It starts at the Pentagon not Arlington National Cemetary. It follows the symbolic route of troops entering to quell or occupy the city, not leaving with love and thanks. 8/

And for non-Minnesotans, she was the Speaker of the MN House from 2019-2025--this is a HUGE deal. She was one of the most important Democrats in the entire state of Minnesota.

Blocking a peaceful assembly like this sends a clear message: their voices, and their service, don’t matter. But they do. We see them. And we stand with them. See you all out there today.

That decision irritated some participants, who peacefully breached the barricade and sat down anyway. It’s not just disrespectful, it’s insulting.

Utterly horrific.
I understand that news is just breaking, and thin so far. But if it's true the shooter(s) impersonated an LEO, the entire nation needs to make an urgent, immediate call to Noem and others that having ICE refuse to ID themselves, hide badges, etc *contributes to this recklessness*.

By the time Whiskey Pete told @aguilar.house.gov he had no fucking clue which clause of 10 USC 12406 he and Trump were relying on, he had relied on that statue twice, to deploy a total of 4,000 Guardsmen, a huge chunk of CA's total.
