This will probably be one of the most iconic photos of our time.
This is a picture taken by Reuters of members of the white nationalist group called ‘Patriot Front’ riding the metro into DC to march on the capitol for the 250th anniversary celebration of the United States. It was taken today, July 4th, 2026.
Those of us who rightly remember American history, we see only one true patriot in this photo, and she isn’t wearing a mask.
Only cowards wear masks. - Rev. Benjamin Cremer

I agree. I was disappointed to see the Guardian cropped the image. It has to be seen in full to realise the full horror. The new uniform of the KKK as worn by men who refused to wear masks during Covid for the protection of their fellow citizens.
There are no words that fully convey the horror, irony and menace of this situation.
