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?
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.
“White Americans aren’t afraid of the cops. White Americans are never afraid of the cops, even when they’re committing an insurrection,” @JoyAnnReid says about the Trump supporters rioting the US Capitol. pic.twitter.com/dJ3soNlZhq
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.

.@ConawayTX11: "The end of the article does go through that and also says 3 Pinocchios in spite of that…"@RepSpeier: "The President of the United States has 5 Pinocchios on a daily basis. So, let's not go there."
Democratic Counsel Daniel Goldman: "Is the only logical conclusion to you, that given all of these factors, that the aid was also a part of this quid pro quo?"
