On the 20th of August, Draq Queen Story Hour returned to Silver Spring. Fearing a repeat of last time's failed disruption attempts or worse, a wall of activists outside defended the entrance. There was no visible sign of MAGAts, Proud Boys, or other would-be defenders. This was literal "peace through strength" where a strong defense may have deterred harassment and prevented trouble from even showing up.
