They are talking about a second Krystallnacht, let us be clear about this. For the week of J20, be careful, support your locals, and be armed and ready to dip.

the worse climate disaster gets, the more you’ll see closet eugenicists start to advocate for letting people die. you need to be prepared to combat the ideology wherever you see it, because it’s only going to get worse and worse Read everything having to do with climate disaster critically. If the central argument underlying what’s being said is that the death of disabled and/or racialized people is inevitable, natural, or desirable– that’s a fascist.

they might be appear to be a garden variety republican or liberal or even a leftist at first, but know that if that argument is being made, their underlying ideology is one of supremacism, and given additional climate stress, they will become more blatant about it.

btw this isn’t the extent of the horrors white supremacists will enact. the real horrors will start as they return to their communities with the high of having broken into the fucking capitol with guns and bombs and having been protected by the police and the president. the real horrors will be enacted on poc and Black ppl specifically now that white supremacists know they can do whatever the fuck they want with guaranteed protection, they will not be enacted on congressmen. it’s not your politicians you have to worry about. pelosi will be just fine.

It's been very overshadowed by the other events, but both seats in Georgia went blue. This is a huge shift and it was one hard won and we all owe that to the black community, the Hispanic community, and the indigenous community and all the other incredibly suppressed communities for getting to the polls and fighting through the enormous roadblocks set up to stop them and the very real danger they faced to make this happen.

For anyone not keeping up, Trump held a rally earlier today, told his supporters to storm the Capitol building with him, then went to hide in the White House.

Protestors tore through 4 layers of barricades and are fighting cops to get into the Capitol building. A possible bomb was spotted and the Madison and Cannon buildings have been evacuated while a bomb squad was called in. And just now the Capitol has gone into lockdown.

But also Pence issued a statement that he is not doing anything with the electors and McConnell denounced Republican senators’ efforts to stop counting the electoral votes.

And as I was writing this, the protesters breached the Capitol and Pence was pulled from the Senate chamber.

really terrible but not at all surprising to have factual, real-time evidence that police would not shoot right wingers even if they formed a mob and stormed government buildings

Maybe it’s just me, but I legit do not understand why we feel the need to continue putting flashing lights in our media that we know very damn well can and will end up doing serious harm to some people, like if it’s absolutely vital that your story includes a visual that could end up causing someone to have a fucking seizure? Then maybe you need to rewrite your story mate.
