@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.
