Trash everywhere. Doors and windows smashed and breached. Cops viciously attacked. Feces smeared on the walls of our national symbol. I was there on January 6. One of the last people on the House Floor. It was a disgrace.

Pardoning the traitors and terrorists who did it is an endorsement of political violence and rioting.

This is not what America voted for.

I’ve been reflecting on this over the past day or so, and I’ve come to a realization.

Many of my friends on the center-right who are upset with me for making what I believe to be very obvious observations aren’t necessarily angry at me—they’re angry at the implications of what I’m saying.

The idea that neo-Nazism has entered the mainstream, potentially influencing the White House, is so alarming and existentially terrifying that it's easier to lash out at the messenger than confront the reality.

If they accept this, it means that the political home they've invested so much of their identity in, the movement they've championed for years, has become something so morally repugnant that accepting it feels like breaking their own brain.

The cognitive dissonance is overwhelming.

What's striking to me is the selective outrage. Many of these same people are quick to call everyone communists, often with little more than circumstantial evidence.

Yet, when it comes to countless instances of glaringly obvious signs of fascism in their own movement, they either look away or attack those pointing it out.

Don Lemon, on the heroic sermon of Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, who in the face of pure evil courageously stood her ground and did not blink. 🙌🙏👇

🚨 BREAKING: @DouglasEmhoff reportedly confronted Bruce Fischer, the husband of Senator Deb Fischer, during the inauguration.

Emhoff pointedly asked Fischer, “Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?”

This came after Fischer had declined to shake Vice President Harris's hand but attempted to greet Emhoff.

Hell yes!

[United Farm Workers @UFWupdates]

BREAKING: The UFW has won yet another NY certification victory. An overwhelming majority of the 50+ workers at Golden Harvest apple farm (south of Albany) chose to join the union.

This is the 8th UFW victory in New York since 2023 and the 1st union victory of 2025.

MVP @KamalaHarris with the first all female US Air Force crew for her last flight to CA! A vice presidency of many firsts. 🥹

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

This shit happens more than y'all think. Making MAGA fascists confident that they can get away with overt racism like this is just one of the many cruel ramifications of a Trump presidency. 😡👇

[Art Candee 🍿🥤 @ArtCandee]

Senator Amy Klobuchar makes it a point to say that presidents are sworn in to uphold the Constitution and points out that it's Martin Luther King Jr's birthday.

I doubt Donald Trump liked any of this being pointed out.

🤣

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

🚨NEW: President Biden has pardoned former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney ahead of Donald Trump taking office. Trump has repeatedly hinted at prosecuting her.

RETWEET if you are proud to stand with Liz Cheney against Donald Trump!

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

BREAKING NEWS:

President Biden has just awarded PREEMPTIVE PARDONS to Liz Cheney, General Mark Milley, Anthony Fauci, and the entire January 6 Committee.

Good.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Rather than wallow in the darkness of today’s inauguration, take time today to be grateful that we had President Biden, a leader of character, courage, and compassion. Not every President has those traits.

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

⚠️Trump’s withdrawal from WHO is unlawful until is is approved by Congress.

The U.S. entered WHO membership through a 1948 joint resolution passed by both houses of Congress. Former President Harry Truman explicitly referenced that resolution as his legal basis for joining WHO. The Trump WH’s unilateral action notifying the UN that the USA is withdrawing violates US law because it does not have express approval of Congress to leave WHO.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

Written right there in the Constitution.

The President cannot change that with the stroke of a pen.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

I invite you to honor my mother, #CorettaScottKing, with me.

Without her, there would be no federal holiday commemorating my father’s birthday.

And @TheKingCenter, which she founded less than three months after Daddy was assassinated, would not exist.

I’m grateful for her commitment to freedom, true peace, justice, and Kingian nonviolence.

I’m inspired by her love for humanity, her faith in God, and her consistency to purpose.

Salute, Mama.
