Some reporting needs to move beyond the widespread clownish photos of rioters inside the Capitol building. This segment contains horrifying footage I believe is important for more widespread awareness. youtube.com/watch?v=lhjRXO72v1s&feature=youtu.bePermalink On twitter.com

The officer described coming face to face with police officers from across the country in the mob. Some of them flashed their badges, telling him to let them through, and trying to explain that this was all part of a movement that was supposed to help. buzzfeednews.com/amphtml/emmanuelfelton/black-capitol-police-racism-mob?__twitter_impression=truePermalink On twitter.com

I keep seeing the opinion this wasn't a coup attempt. 1. The mob included militia and police incited by a president. 2. Extreme violence was planned and occurred. 3.

Gallows are not built outside the Capitol on a whim. There were pipe bombs, molotov cocktails, flex cuffs, weapons galore and calls for execution. theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2021/01/trump-rioters-wanted-more-violence-worse/617614/Permalink On twitter.com

The most bizarre part of this interview with MEPFuller inside the Capitol is the part where he describes "protesters" asking him on the way to the Capitol: "Can I park here?". They were worried about parking tickets before proceeding with insurrection. overcast.fm/+dcvChFeDMPermalink On twitter.com

Listen to this witness report from RepJayapal, bringing insight with regards to being a person of color asked to take off your member pin to avoid being identified as a member by insurrectionists. She also recently had knee surgery. RepJayapal/1350480640320409604Permalink On twitter.com
