Engaging the Community in DEI: (1) Do nothing about us without us, (2) tailor the atmosphere to the community, and (3) it is not a 'one and done'. https://t.co/BMoJ3DgT5l via @TheWintersGroup

The right way is rarely the easy way. Gotta get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

My message to my fellow Americans and friends around the world following this week's attack on the Capitol.

[Moms 4 Housing @moms4housing]

Police came harder for Black mothers and babies creating home in a vacant house than for armed white men *literally* trying to overthrow the government. #Amerikkka

[Mike Barnicle @mikebarnicle]

You are not alone.

[Barb Chidley @BarbChidley]

Not surprising but definitely disgusting.

[Read Jackson Rising @JPHilllllll]

Well, confirmation that the cops literally just let them through https://t.co/kqhLn4swjq

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

I apologize for posting this but we must see the face and hear the words of the malevolence that has led to today, which will continue to haunt this land unless or until it is condemned by the vast majority of Americans.

[Mike Pence @Mike_Pence]

The violence and destruction taking place at the US Capitol Must Stop and it Must Stop Now. Anyone involved must respect Law Enforcement officers and immediately leave the building.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

Violence and mob rule is wrong and un-American, and it will not bring about election reform.

Today’s mayhem sets back any intelligent debate for a generation. Just stop it.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Recall that when people took to the streets to peacefully protest police brutality and racial injustice last June, Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act and summoned 5,000 National Guard troops from 11 states.

[Saeed Jones @theferocity]

I’m speechless.

[Orin Kerr @OrinKerr]

Andrew McCarthy is on Fox News, saying that when he was a federal prosecutor, he prosecuted terrorists for the same thing the protesters are doing at the Capitol Building. "The President incited this."

[Adam Serwer 🍝 @AdamSerwer]

If they get away with this it will be worse next time. I promise you.

Poverty is a policy choice. Decision makers choose to subsidize the wealthy and reward exploitation like they choose to give out $600 to people struggling through a pandemic.

[Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta @malcolmkenyatta]

Joel Osteen got $4.4million. You get $600.

It’s immoral.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Providing a measly $600 check to survive the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression while doling out more than $1,000,000 per minute to the Pentagon is the real looting in America.

This thread is AWESOME. And now that he's got everyone's attention, he's encouraging donations for those in need.

I love Canadians. ❤

[Mohammad Hussain @MohammadHussain]

Growing up, my Muslim family never celebrated Christmas. This year I am not going home, because pandemic, so my roommates are teaching me how to have my first proper Christmas.

I am approaching this with anthropological precision.

Here are a few observations.

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

I'm curious if other people have had something in them break the last few weeks, where you realize "normal," or even a rough approximation of it is gone for a good long while. We've always known that at some level but I feel it intensely and viscerally right now.
