“Obesity” trending opens the floodgates to a tsunami of ignorant and illogical abuse against the fat community, lacking context, nuance and humanity. Below is something I want you to understand.

Putting Kamala Harris as VP into perspective.See the red box? Until then, she would have been enslaved.See the blue box? Until then, she couldn’t vote. Yellow box? Until then, she had to attend a segregated school.
The green one? Until then she couldn’t have her own bank account

Amanda Gorman’s full poem, this was beautiful omg

[Michele Norris @michele_norris]

That lone Capitol Hill officer chased up the stairs while holding a baton by white men storming the Captiol showed incredible restraint. And then when other officers caught up to him, they calmly talked to the insurrectionists unlike response to BLM during hot nights this summer

[Ana Navarro-Cárdenas @ananavarro]

Imagine a bunch of Black & Brown people storming the Capitol, sitting at Senate President’s chair, trespassing into Speaker’s office? How would Trump have respomded?

Trump threw the whole force of the law on PEACEFUL Black Lives Matter protestors so he could pose for a pic.

[Friend of Dorothy @Handsum_Munster]

This was way more than protesting. They went straight Anglo-Saxon on the capitol today

[Michael Hiltzik @hiltzikm]

By the way, this Capitol invasion is going to be the mother of all superspreader events.

[Brendan Keefe - Atlanta News First @BrendanKeefe]

I know all those Gerard Butler movies are fiction, but you're telling me there is no strategic response plan for a violent siege of the US Capitol?

[New York Post @nypost]

Shocking photos show US Capitol overrun by Trump supporters https://t.co/S5hSHSOsOr

This is first time US Capitol has been breached since British attack in 1814, according to U.S. Capitol Historical Society.

[Matt Laslo @MattLaslo]

BREAKING: PROTESTERS JUST BREACHED THE NORTH DOOR OF THE CAPITOL. AGAIN.

“Really? Again?” one of the heroic, exhausted and frustrated Capitol Police officers escorting me and a crew of others out of the complex just said to his colleagues

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

I know everyone is (rightly) focused on the terror and chaos at the Capitol but...

... the Democrats just won control of the Senate. This is a big... deal. Big.

[Tal Kopan @TalKopan]

Please remember that every amazing photo and video of these upsetting events unfolding is brought to you by a journalist putting themselves in harm’s way so you may witness history.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Scenes of looting in the Capitol roiled Republicans and Democrats, who pleaded with President Trump to intervene.

Pro-Trump protesters stormed Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s offices, flipping over tables and pulling photos off the walls.

This is exactly what Trump meant when he said "stand by."

[Richard W. Painter @RWPUSA]

Vice President Pence @VP needs to invoke the 25th Amendment immediately to remove from office @realDonaldTrump, the ring leader of this seditious riot, assume the presidency. Then order in backup forces so capitol police and restore order. Outrageous.

[Joe Lockhart @joelockhart]

The cabinet should convene and remove the President under the 25th amendment. We have a President who is now engineering a violent coup attempt.

[Tabitha Isner @TabithaK]

I'm delighted that the Capitol Police are showing restraint and utilizing non-violent de-escalation tactics.

But now they've proven that it was always possible. They just didn't bother to do so for black protestors.
