    @GetMisch Here I am with fellow members of #DCMJ* at the #USCapitol on January 10, 2017 waiting to get in to the hearing for then-#Senator #JeffSessions to protest his nomination for U.S. #AttorneyGeneral wearing our #Phyrgian hats.

    The hat is also featured in the famous #ApotheosisOfWashington painting on the ceiling of the #CapitolRotunda's dome.

    *they got #cannabis legalized in #DC, before I started helping them with descheduling and federal legalization work

    It is amazing! And the laying of the cable is depicted in the art inside US Capitol dome, in the fresco Apotheosis of Washington:

    "with Neptune holding his trident and Venus holding the transatlantic cable, which was being laid at the time the fresco was painted"
