#NoCutsToLibraries! @NYCMayor and @NYCCouncil, library funding is essential! New Yorkers need the vital services our libraries provide. https://t.co/4yzeiu6rWD
Historian of coups and right-wing authoritarians here. If there are not severe consequences for every lawmaker & Trump govt official who backed this, every member of the Capitol Police who collaborated with them, this "strategy of disruption" will escalate in 2021
What happened yesterday isn’t just the product of a Trump administration, but is rooted in over 200 years of white supremacist violence on which this country was founded https://t.co/QKMd9u2pQf
Additionally, Congress must pass @RepCori’s resolution to investigate for sanction and expulsion any member of Congress who helped incite this attack on our nation.
2 reasons for impeaching and removing Trump today:
1. Accountability. No president who incites an insurrection against the United States can remain in office.
2. Safety. Having done what he did yesterday, there's no limit to what he might try in the next 13 days.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser: "We must get statehood on the president's desk within the first 100 days of there 117th Congress."
She calls for Congress to "immediately transfer command" of the District of Columbia National Guard" from the president to the mayor of D.C.
Banning Trump is the right decision, but the debate over deplatforming him obscures the much bigger issue of how Facebook has willingly allowed the rampant spread of misinformation that created the context for yesterday
It must be noted this statement promising an orderly transition comes amid semi-serious discussions of the 25th amendment and talk of mass resignations.
I’m thankful to be safe, but it’s actually unfathomable to me that Capitol Police were this unprepared.
We knew there were going to be mass protests. We knew some people would try to storm the building. There have apparently only been 13 arrests. How did this happen?
After four years of defending ridiculously divisive nonsense, one rather unhinged speech does not save you, @LindseyGrahamSC. You will forever be on the wrong side of history.
