The people who stormed the U.S. Capitol are getting support from the president of Chicago’s Fraternal Order of Police lodge. John Catanzara, elected to represent the city’s 12,000 rank-and-file cops, told me last night he understands the frustration. His explanation:
NPR guidance: we won’t be calling the people who stormed the Capitol ‘protestors’ - they are ‘pro-Trump extremists’ and what they are doing is ‘insurrection’.
When protesters peacefully demonstrated in front of the White House, Donald Trump used violence to clear them out so he could have a photo op outside of a church he doesn’t worship at.

GSA's Emily Murphy is NOT the victim. Instead, she's Trump's enabler & partner in crime. 2000 election ISN'T a precedent for her denying #PresidentElectBiden the transition money. 2000 result was truly up in the air. 2020 is firmly DECIDED--Biden up to 51% (Trump 47%) + 306 EVs.
This database shows 20 instances of voters fraud in Virginia in the past 14 years. The most recent (and only case in 2020) was a staffer for a GOP campaign working to get an Independent on the ballot to draw votes away from the Dem.
The fact that life for so many does continue as normal whilst democracy dies is used as proof that nothing is wrong and there's nothing to be mourned. That frustrates me endlessly. I know I'll still be able to make pancakes and watch tv, but that's not the point.
Happy birthday, America. Thank you for letting me live the American Dream. We must fight every day to make sure that dream is as true for a Black child born in Minneapolis as it was for a white bodybuilder born in Austria. via @attn
Donald Trump just shared a video of a supporter yelling “White Power” and I can’t help but be angry all over again at all the editors who kept their reporters of color from using the word “racist” for the last several years.
Timeline of Richmond City Hall attack, 1:27-1:30 AM June 23, 2020 from peaceful to apocalyptic nightmare. Here they start coming at the peaceful protesters.
Are the “intelligence sources” who claimed Kim Jong Un was brain dead last week the same ones claiming this week that #COVID19 escaped from a Chinese lab? Asking for a friend.
