Officer Hodges and all those who defended our Capitol five years ago held strong in the face of unimaginable violence and chaos encouraged by Trump. We must all aspire to have that same courage and strength as we continue this ongoing fight to defend our democracy and the heart of our nation.

100% this. Enough of the dumb forever wars that do absolutely no good.

Will ANY media outlets cover: 1) what actually happened 5 years ago? And 2) what the Trump White wis trying to do in reshaping the narrative of that day? George Orwell is SCREAMING FROM HIS GRAVE!!! @meidastouch.com @legalafmtn.bsky.social PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!!

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES! Epstein’s cellmate transferred out the day before; unit cameras malfunctioned; guards were absent; medical report was falsified; evidence tampered with & contradictory. Trump, Johnson & Bondi obstructed release of millions of files. Venezuela? RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

This. All. Of. This.

.@PabloReports: What do you make of the White House blaming the police for the violence on January 6th? McGovern: That’s offensive. What kind of sick human being would say that? I was here that day.

Trump probably thinks he’s Ghengis Khan, Henry VIII, and Napoleon reincarnated In reality, they would have probably had nothing to do with him

NEW from me: The US is losing blue-collar jobs for the first time since early COVID or the Great Recession—the country has lost 65k jobs over the last year as manufacturing, transport, & mining employment decline, while growth in construction has nearly zeroed out www.apricitas.io/p/america-is...

This seems appropriate about now:

I like to repeat truths. Like the one that the POTUS is a pedophile.

🚨 This woman is an example for all of us: “I said no, you’re not going to harass my students. Get the fuck out of here before I stick my foot up your ass.” She represents the best of us. 1/2

🚨Charlotte Clymer wrote an incredible piece on Senator Mark Kelly. In terms of honor and personal integrity, he is everything an American should want in a Senator (R/L) in Congress. charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/the-extrao...

🚨 Superpowers do not engage in hostile takeovers with sovereign nations. We have lost any sense of geopolitical legitimacy.

We banned overdraft fees. Trump brought them back.

Bennie Thompson marked the Jan. 6 anniversary by playing a blistering montage exposing those who carried out the violent Capitol attack incited by Donald Trump. Five years later, the footage still hits hard and leaves nowhere to hide.

"How Trump Incited an Insurrection: A Jan. 6 Timeline" Five years later, as the president attempts to rewrite what happened on Jan. 6, 2021, Zeteo has a detailed hour-by-hour guide to what Trump said and did that fateful and violent day.

Amid all the chaos in today's world, don't forget to take a moment to give thanks to the Capitol Police and other Law enforcement agencies who stood firm in the face of terrorism on January 6, 2021. Their bravery, sacrifice, and heroic service on that dark day to protect the fundamental principles 👇

Never forget.

We need more plain talk and the plain truth. Thank you, James Talarico.

This is a must-watch video by @npr.org's @tomdreisbach.bsky.social who sat with @semperwry.bsky.social & @michaelfanone.bsky.social as they narrated their body-cam footage from 1/6 A necessary reminder of the disgusting stain on American history perpetrated by Trump & MAGA youtu.be/CvL4sXhGrYs?...

Uh, the Democrats in the House impeached him and then the putrid Republican cowards in the Senate failed to convict and remove him. This was only five fucking years ago. Does no one remember shit from five years ago?

I've known for George for years. He's exactly the kind of leader we need in Congress. He has nothing to gain from this, and he's in it for the right reasons. It's an easy call to support him in this race.

Five years ago this moment, the President of the United States was watching on television as a violent mob overran the Capitol Building, and he did nothing to stop them or help the people trapped inside. That happened.

My friend @charlotteclymer.bsky.social has written about Mark Kelly’s distinguished military career. This is not to be missed. open.substack.com/pub/charlott...

"Ex-gay" pastor, who claimed he "broke the curse of homosexuality," sexually abused a young man during "Pray the Gay Away" spiritual sessions. (Practicing my shocked face.) www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

This brightened my day a little

Crockett: "Everyone wants to talk about how Maduro was illegitimate. As we sit here on January 6, I do want to be clear: somebody else was trying to be a Maduro of the United States. Somebody else wanted to do the exact same thing. The difference is Maduro was successful."

Yes, Donald Trump is the most ridiculous fool ever to be president. But is he also the most ridiculous fool ever to be famous?

Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Comcast, Meta, and HP. They all once pledged to stop donations to anyone who tried to overturn the 2020 election. And now they're all donors to Trump's White House ballroom. Funny how that works, huh? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nbf6BJzpk1E

Trump to House Republicans: "You got to win the midterms, because if we don't win the midterms, it's just going to be — I mean, they'll find a reason to impeach me." "I'll get impeached."

trump did january 6th. republicans did january 6th. violent traitors did january 6th. they stormed the capitol, destroyed the building and threatened to kill members of congress. ashli babbitt was a violent insurrectionist. the capitol police protected people. these are truths we need to repeat.

When the kid rapist mocked POW's, that should have been the end. When he mocked a disabled reporter, that should have been the end. When he was found responsible for sexual assault, that should have been the end. When he pardoned police officer beating terrorists, we discovered there is no bottom

Noticing that CNN is calling Jan. 6 a “riot,” not an “insurrection.” PSA: It was an insurrection.

White House unveils Jan. 6 website page saying Democrats 'staged the real insurrection,' criticizing Capitol Police

This anniversary of the Jan 6 riot, with Donald Trump back in what's left of the White House, is a reminder of what a deeply damaged country this is to have re-elected the reckless vainglorious fool who instigated it.

Only those with a functioning brain, of course!

Despite efforts by Felon Trump & MAGA to erase January 6th from our memories, we will never forget. NPR’s @tomdreisbach.bsky.social joins me to talk about the public archive created to preserve the history of that day & how the government continues to lie about 1/6. youtu.be/63qPC4lXWpE?...

Paul Singer, whose firm owns the US subsidiary of Venezuela's state-owned oil company, spent millions in 2024 to re-elect Trump. Now, after Trump's invasion of Venezuela on behalf of Big Oil, he's set to cash in on his investment. A government of, by, and for the billionaires.

Last night I wrote to you about Trump’s desperate efforts to rewrite history. Today, on the taxpayer funded WH website, he’s using our resources to pursue Orwellian 1984ish revisions. It’s our job to stop him. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The dipshit doesn't even get a lectern.

BREAKING: Abortion will remain legal in Wyoming after the state Supreme Court struck down laws, including the first U.S. ban on pill abortions.

Facts.

The military must take Senator Mark Kelly's remarks seriously. It is essential to decline unlawful assignments. Ultimately, American soldiers will lose their lives in service to Trump and his associates. This pattern could continue, leading to a troubling new list of casualties.

Don't let this Jan 6th point get lost: Jack Smith testified to Congress he had "proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election." In other words, he could prove in court that Trump attempted a coup.

No rule by the ghoul. Stephen Miller is dragging us to the upside down.

This tree bears bitter fruit that MAGA only enjoys the taste of.

The 25th Amendment exists for a reason.

If you feel like you're losing your mind as this administration plays footsy with the idea of INVADING GREENLAND, then you're not alone. Let me be clear: America will NOT invade a NATO ally. My Republican colleagues need to join me in making that crystal clear.
