Somehow we weathered and witnessed
A nation that isn't broken
but simply unfinished
There is always light
if only we're brave enough to see it
if only we're brave enough to be it.

— Amanda Gorman

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

It’s simple: When people have more money to spend, our whole economy is better off. The Biden-Harris administration can put more money in people’s pockets by using their existing legal authority to cancel student loan debt for millions of Americans.

[Crooked Media @CrookedMedia]

What a run. Here's what we remember. Feel free to share what you remember/repressed.

[Laura Bassett @LEBassett]

I will join the chorus in saying this is an absolute must-read. The best thing I've read on the current political situation, just brilliant and clear and insightful https://t.co/NWqpISuPEt

[Jaime Harrison @harrisonjaime]

Special note... Also, refrain from the hypocrisy. Please don’t quote Dr. King today when you spend the remaining 364 days trying to suppress the voting rights of others.

capricorn & aquarius risings learned that most of the people who were older than them, heavily relied on them for support at an early age - and struggled relating to anyone bc of that

Cruz. Hawley. Pirro. Dobbs. Pierson. Graham. Pence. Carlson. Cawthorn. Jordan. Gaetz. Gohmert. Ingraham. Tuberville. McCarthy. Guilfoyle. Greene. McEnany. Biggs. Gosar. Hegseth. Brooks. Giuliani. Don Jr. Lara. Eric. Donald Trump.

Today, we salute the Heroes of the Insurrection.

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

They had bombs.
They killed several people.
They had nooses, zip ties, and pipes.
They came armed & with bulletproof vests.
They chanted “Hang Mike Pence."
They hunted the Speaker of the House.

This was a serious attack on America—and it was incited by Trump. We must remove him.

[Michael Ian Black @michaelianblack]

In the last year, I've eaten in a restaurant fewer times than the president has been impeached.

[Stacey Abrams @staceyabrams]

While today’s terrible display of terror and meanness shakes us, let’s remember: @ossoff, Jewish son of an immigrant & @ReverendWarnock, first Black Senator from Georgia, will join a Catholic POTUS & the first woman, Black + Indian VP in our nation’s capital. God bless America.

[Union of Concerned Scientists @UCSUSA]

It is impossible to watch today and not recognize white privilege and white supremacy in action. There were many peaceful protests in support of racial justice over the summer. Too often they were met with aggressive suppression and violence—and mass arrests.

[Rep. Barbara Lee (Archived) @RepBarbaraLee]

We must acknowledge the profound inequity of a broken system that allows peaceful protesters to get tear-gassed for a photo op, while domestic terrorists who storm the Capitol in a violent coup attempt get to roam the streets freely.

Karen's revolution thwarted by teary eyes

[Kaili Joy Gray @KailiJoy]

When Democrats lost in 2016, they knitted pink hats and donated to Planned Parenthood.

[David Rothschild 🌻 @DavMicRot]

So happy that Jimmy Carter is around to see this.

I'm going to tell my kids this is Captain America.
