Keeping It Real

To my colleagues who won't go through the metal detectors:

Have you ever had a job before? If you work at McDonald’s and you don’t wear the uniform, you don’t work that day.

If you won’t abide by the rules of this job, go find another one 👋🏾 https://t.co/rPO2xek1iB

No Uniting With Terrorists

I don’t want to unite with those responsible for the insurrection at our nation’s Capitol. I want us to unite in holding them accountable.

White Terrorism

Y’all cared more about the Target on Atlantic Avenue than the Capitol building.

— Treana L. Allen (@TreanaLAllen) January 6, 2021

While today’s terrible display of terror and meanness shakes us, let’s remember: @ossoff, Jewish son of an immigrant & @ReverendWarnock, first Black Senator from Georgia, will join a Catholic POTUS & the first woman, Black + Indian VP in our nation’s capital. God bless America.

All I keep thinking about is how National Guard were deployed to guard the Miracle Mile from people stealing Gucci bags but protestors stormed the Senate chambers and there is nary a police in sight.

As a Congressperson, how do you walk back into the Capitol and resume work knowing that the police willingly let domestic terrorists into your workplace? Like…. moved the barricades out of the way and took selfies once they were inside?

Words I will use on TV tonight:

Coup
Insurrection
Treason
Sedition
Lies
Terrorists

I am hearing from fellow journalists who are being told not to use these words. Resists attempts to censor your language. Democracy depends on bearing witness & holding power to account.

This feels wild to say but….

We're not talking about the bombs enough. At least three were found and disarmed yesterday.

There is a LOT going on. But it feels like those explosive devices should be a bigger story.

Terrorism At The Capitol

The way news outlets shielded us from viewing the horrific murder of a white woman committing a criminal act at the Capitol Building yesterday, is the dignity that I desire from the media when unarmed Black people are murdered by the police. Instead we get trauma porn.

This Isn’t A Game
