CNN interviewed Proud Boys leader. I’m so sick of CNN & esp Anderson Cooper for platforming, free publicity & normalizing white supremacy 4 ratings.
If @CNN or @AC360 wants a list of DC activist leaders who stood up to rioting PBs in Nov/Dec, I can provide.
The stage at #CPAC2021 is in the shape of a famous Nazi symbol. The Odal rune was used heavily by the SS, including on their uniforms. Maybe a coincidence, but white nationalists will see this as yet another overt signal from the @GOP (stand back & stand by).
This is the problem with “seat at the table” politics. The state wants to use images of diversity to make empire & injustice tolerable and acceptable. All that diversity is amounting to what exactly?
Bombing countries before your sick population has Medicare for all, a $15/hr wage, and $2k checks is downright evil. Stop making excuses for these liars in power
It’s no coincidence the elected leaders who aided in Trump’s violent insurrection expect to face zero consequences. These are the same people who uphold a justice system where a kid arrested for smoking marijuana faces a lifetime criminal record. We must hold them accountable.
Re 25th: There is NO point if it’s only procedural, and trump is guaranteed immunity from consequences for his actions. He should be 𝘐𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘋𝘐𝘈𝘛𝘌𝘓𝘠 arrested, tried for treason or all of those speeches amount to nothing more than tut tuting for the record.
The people involved showed up with flags, in merch, for selfies. They are giving interviews that are playing around the world while the @FBIWFO pretends to be looking for those involved. They found out who was actually on their side when they prepare to do the real thing. A lack
of real consequences is rolling out the welcome mat for them to go forward with their plan. The fact that the Biden Administration isn't retracting their previous statements of not wanting to pursue charges against this Administration says it all.
We have to be pointedly aware of the misdirection of portraying the movement as being run by “rubes” and “yokels”. While serious discussion of bombs being planted at RNC & DNC headquarters has been largely ignored.
We must remain aware of the language being used that lays what happened at the Capitol on #BLM and Antifa. These are not idiotic mistakes made by talking heads, these are clear tactics heading into the next chapter to make these movements Enemies of the State on a
larger scale. When this country fails it historically and consistently blames Black and Brown people and it works EVERY. DAMNED. TIME. Without real consequences for what happened at the Capitol Jan 6, 2021 everything that happens after is political theatre.
Posting longer Dec 11 vid of multiple assaults by Proud Boys if MPD cares.
U can see the arrests (of Black ppl attacked) & non-arrests (Proud Boys attackers) w/MPD standing RIGHT THERE. Escalation of legit danger of Jan 5-6 was enhanced by MPD inaction in Nov/Dec. Trigger Warn:
