This is essential understanding of #WhiteSupremacy
Trump is just the latest and greatest exhibit of how this universally-embraced ideology harms us all with the least powerful on the frontlines of resulting violence
💡FYI when I use the term WHITE SUPREMACY I'm referring to the modern ideology which believes that the "white race" is biologically & culturally superior to all other "races" & should therefore dominate & control society.
The United States is organized around this ideology.
It's two years since January 6.
* The man who let them all walk away, FBI Director Chris Wray, still has a job.
* The man who hasn't prosecuted the person responsible, Merrick Garland, still has a job.
* And almost all the insurrection supporters in Congress still have jobs.
Everybody wants to blame the 20 or so insurrectionists who are preventing the operation of government right now, but remember we have 20 or so insurrectionists in Congress because the Justice Department has not held them accountable for their actions and they are unafraid.
In case you missed this over the holidays... I've written about this and was talking about this very issue with @tavissmiley yesterday

Don't trust the @GOP's spin. It was never a protest.
#January6th was always a plan to overthrow a legitimately elected president to keep Trump in power.
“Russia’s meddling in Trump-era politics was more directly connected to the current war than previously understood.” Putin and his agents asked Trump for control of Mariupol, Ukraine, in exchange for helping Trump campaign in 2016.

A thread that must infuse any case against Trump for crimes he committed wrt 1/6 is that he is a lifelong event planner-- and most of his events were frauds. Jan 6, with all its elements, was the fraudulent event of his life. He planned it all, some of it broadly, some in detail.
Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson testified that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene told Donald Trump and Mark Meadows about QAnon in advance of January 6th.

If this child was strong enough to survive the Native American genocide, then non-Native students should be strong enough to learn about it in school. Agree? #WoundedKneeMassacre
@SaraSorcher I think you're missing the forest for the pizza box.
Police always knew where Tate brothers were living. The world wide attention brought by Thunberg's tweet, probably lit a fire under them to move forward with the arrests.
“I have cried more on the phone with airline customer service reps than I have during multiple viewings of ‘Terms of Endearment,’ and I feel very strongly that the ratio should run the other way,” writes @espiers about holiday air travel. https://t.co/VxrTa7Zydf

Ginni Thomas confirmed in her Jan 6 deposition testimony the “best friend” she referred to in texts with Mark Meadows was in fact Clarence Thomas.
Ginni’s texts implied that calls with Justice Thomas helped her to “keep holding on” as she worked to overturn the 2020 election.
👀 Ornato says he was notified on Dec. 12 that Proud Boys leader Enrique TARRIO had been given a tour of the White House but that there hadn't been media coverage of it. Security officials wanted to know who gave him permission — and Ornato says he would've raised it to MEADOWS.
