I hope Doug Emhoff’s project as second dude will be to convince men to finally go to therapy and stop ruining women’s lives

[Ed Stern is on BlueSky @EdStern]

Well that escalated steadily for four years.

[Public Citizen @Public_Citizen]

For reference, there were 14,000+ arrests at the George Floyd protests.

Where is AG? Where is Sec of Homeland Security? We just had a serious act of domestic terrorism. IN OUR NATION’S CAPITOL.

[Maxine Waters @RepMaxineWaters]

Yes! We must investigate the security breach at the Capitol today. I warned our Caucus and had an hour long conversation with the Chief of Police 4days ago. He assured me the terrorists would not be allowed on the plaza & Capitol secured. What the hell?

[Maxine Waters @RepMaxineWaters]

What would have happened if Black Lives Matter resorted to the kind of violence the proud boys , the kkk, the oath keepers, the white suprematists carried out today on our Capitol?

[Amee Vanderpool @girlsreallyrule]

Here are more thugs destroying thousands of dollars worth of media equipment that had to be abandoned. Someone needs to send the bill to Donald Trump so he can not pay that one, too.

[B. Butkas @BeeButkas]

There’s plenty of footage — helpful that most of these terrorists don’t wear masks.

[Amy Siskind @Amy_Siskind]

This is domestic terrorism. They should be tried in court as such. Including the leader (Trump).

[Scott Dworkin @funder]

GET OFF YOUR F*CKING ASS AND ARREST PEOPLE. THESE ARE TERRORISTS.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Words have consequences, especially the words of a president and his allies. Today those consequences include violent rioters attacking our Capitol to overthrow the American democratic process. This must end, and democracy must prevail.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Dear Media friends: STOP calling them “protestors” ... they are domestic terrorists!

Love Black women every day, not just on election days.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

We are about to reach peak ridiculousness, send us your prayers.

It’s a scary wild day for American democracy.

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

The president unleashed fascist thugs on the capitol to attempt a coup and they're...doing what he asked!

[Amy Siskind @Amy_Siskind]

Take him out of the White House in handcuffs. This is sedition.

[Sarah Chadwick @Sarahchadwickk]

Black people in this country have been getting shot and killed by police for absolutely NOTHING , meanwhile there are literal ARMED terrorists (yes these people are terrorists) INSIDE of the capital building

[Preet Bharara @PreetBharara]

Tell us again?
