Sen. Tillis denounces Trump's pardons of J6 insurrectionists: "We let bad people go, and we sent the message that if you come to this Capitol and you have the right president in office, he's gonna get you get past things that not anyone of us would get away with if we did it back in our home state"

Take note of how they are weaponizing anti-immigrant propaganda in MN and turning it into government policy. Fascism 101.

Jan6: Charlie Kirk sent 80+ buses of Insurrectionists to DC

Gallego: "The reason why you have Article 1 power is because you don't want to let idiots like President Donald Trump make foreign policy decisions without their being a check and balance against that"

Never forget.

Good for them. Testimony to their support for the rule of law.

He can try all he wants. It won’t happen. You can’t erase that kind of stain. Ever.

I still remember Ma telling me five years ago that if these insurrectionists on January 6th were Black, then they would be dead. Five years later, they are almost all alive, out of jail, and their guy is back in the White House. If that’s not White privilege, then I don’t know what is.

OPINION by @ericswalwell.bsky.social: “We cannot whitewash history now.” READ MORE: www.ms.now/opinion/jan6...

The DOJ was required to release all Epstein files, with limited exceptions, by December 19. According to a court filing last night, the DOJ has released only 12,285 documents. More than 2 MILLION documents remain unreleased.

THREAD: Viral misinformation on US capture of Nicolas Maduro - 4 January This video, shared by Alex Jones and others, falsely claims to show millions of Venezuelans in Caracas celebrating Maduro's capture. In fact, it shows anti-Maduro protests in July 2024 over a highly disputed election.

“Doctors used to recommend preventing 11 diseases and now they recommend preventing 72! We need to decrease the amount of diseases prevented a little bit.” You see how stupid that sounds?

They say it's not "regime change," but they changed the regime. They say it's not "war," but they bombed the country, killed scores of people and have imposed a blockade, which is an act of war. They say they acted because of drugs, but the main drug they're focused on is oil. It's 100% gaslighting.

The Trump administration has overhauled the nation’s childhood vaccination schedule, and among those clipped is the rotavirus vaccine. @katherinejwu.com interviewed one of the scientists who developed it:

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.

“The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.” www.whitehouse.gov/j6/

Part of why gaslighting is so effective is it makes you feel crazy. It's exhausting being lied to all the time.

This sign wins

You know, somebody might be in for a big surprise down the road... Maybe Hugo Chavez gets the last laugh bsky.app/profile/carl...

Did not think I'd witness a Nature journal publish a piece calling the US a fascist country in the title / abstract. Thanks to Lauren and the rest of the team for picking up this crucial fight — in this paper and elsewhere. Please read and share widely.

Today, we look back on the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol—a deadly attempt to obstruct the peaceful transfer of power. It is a stain on our nation’s history.

He couldn’t even successfully stage a coup…as president.

“The present administration will continue to destroy evidence based public health programmes and policies unless clinicians, public health workers, and citizens fight back”. Excellent article by @jonshaffer.bsky.social and @gavinyamey.bsky.social on the phenomenon of doctors who broke bad.

“Donald Trump’s cutting off $10 billion in child care funding to states is an act of breathtaking cruelty—and it will do lasting damage to children, families, and our economy." - Kristen Crowell

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.

"The point of the United States, one could almost say, was to move as much as possible beyond the world Stephen Miller relishes, a world simply 'governed by force, governed by power.'"

Trump’s second term is a presidency of the grotesque in which lawlessness, corruption, and vengeance are wielded not just as policy but as a birthright, @rygraham.bsky.social writes.

On the 5th Anniversary of the failed January 6th insurrection attempt, we’re reminded how fragile democracy can be. We must remember the darkness of that day so it’s never repeated. As history is rewritten by some, we choose to speak the truth of what happened.

So much this...

Five years ago today, Donald Trump ignited a violent mob to attack the Capitol and disrupt the peaceful transfer of power. Last year, Donald Trump pardoned over 1,500 of those insurrectionists. It's an assault on American democracy.

Incredible how little attention this is getting outside Germany. "In its third full day, a ... power failure in Berlin resulting from an arson attack...tens of thousands...making do without heat, electricity, cellphone service & warm food or drinks." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/w...

It is January 6, 2026, and the Trump DOJ continues to violate the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

As Donald Trump tries to wash his own hands, we’re going to remind the American people what we saw with our own eyes.

I don't know if you need much evidence that Ackman has no principles but he led the charge to remove Claudine Gay from President of Harvard on *much* weaker evidence of academic misconduct. Then he threatened to pursue plagiarism accusations of anyone who pointed to his wife's alleged plagiarism.

“We have an autocratic leader seeking power and aggrandizement through the conquest of territory and resources….Mr. Trump has threatened to attack Cuba, Colombia, Mexico and Iran while musing about the annexation of Greenland, the Panama Canal and even Canada.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/o...

In honor of those who bravely defended democracy on January 6, 2021 against traitors who tried to overturn an election, and whose political party still refuses to acknowledge their courage and sacrifice, I proudly display the plaque they refuse to display. God bless those who stand for AMERICA!

"It is a sad fact that the prime minister of Denmark is closer to our Founders in her view of the world than the Trump administration.

Paul Farhi's full quote: "The fact that the Pentagon’s officially approved “press” corps hasn’t reported a single story of importance since it was created isn’t a surprise. It’s working exactly as it was designed." True. MAGA media is a negation of journalism dressed as an alternative press corp.
