#US service member arrested at #Capitol after calling for #Trump’s #impeachment
Martin Goillandeau, CNN
Thu, July 2, 2026"A #USAirForce major was arrested on the steps of the #USCapitol on Wednesday after delivering a speech calling for the impeachment and removal of President Donald Trump and Vice President #JDVance.
"The arrest of #JasonWatson occurred after he spoke at a news conference organized by #RemovalCoalition, the grassroots activist group said. During the news conference, Watson identified himself as an active-duty service member and wore a military uniform. Democratic Rep. Al Green of Texas also attended the event.
"US Capitol Police, which confirmed the arrest, said members of the public may not demonstrate on the steps of the House unless they are accompanied by a member of Congress.
"Watson was 'escorted' to the steps by a member of Congress, who 'left the area,' before police gave Watson 'lawful orders to stop the illegal demonstration or he would be arrested,' the police said in a statement.
" 'The man refused our lawful orders and was then arrested for 22-1307 Crowding, Obstructing, and Incommoding,' US Capitol Police added, noting that there are other spots on the Capitol grounds where demonstrating is allowed."

important to the "lost cause" narrative, romanticizing the #Confederacy
blah blah blah... he was a #traitor to the #USA and fought for #slavery, and is only valued by #racists
even with #MAGA and #Trump fighting it, we still remove statues trying to honor these turds
on Tuesday, a statue of #Virginia #civilRights #activist #BarbaraRoseJohns replaced that of Robert E Lee in the #USCapitol
as a teenager in 1951 she led a student strike for equal #education

Good news from a few days ago:
"Her 1951 walkout helped end school segregation. Now her statue is in the U.S. Capitol"
https://www.npr.org/2025/12/16/nx-s1-5645727/barbara-rose-johns-capitol-statue
"In 1951, a Black teenager led a walkout of her segregated Virginia high school. On Tuesday, her statue replaced that of a Confederate general in the U.S. Capitol."
I know statues are only symbols, but with misinformation and outright lies from the current regime it's clear that symbols are important.

#Trump granted #pardons Thursday to 23 people who were #convicted of blocking access to #reproductive #health #clinics, fulfilling another campaign promise to reward political supporters who have run afoul of the #law. Trump announced the clemency grants in Oval Office signing ceremony on the eve of the 52nd annual March for Life in Washington, days after pardoning more than 1,500 people accused of participating in the #Jan6, 202 #riot at the #USCapitol. #insurrection #reproductivehealth #maga

Huh. Well that's different
"Convicted #USCapitol rioter turns down Trump #pardon"
"Accepting a pardon would only insult the Capitol police officers, rule of law and, of course, our nation... I pleaded guilty because I was guilty, and accepting a pardon also would serve to contribute to their gaslighting and false narrative"
Pamela Hemphill aka "#MAGA Granny"
...she saw the #Trump government as trying to "rewrite history and I don't want to be part of that"
