I have watched hours of video documenting the fall of the Capitol of the United States of America to a violent, Nihilistic, fascist mob and I believe that but for the grace of god, a little luck and the heroism of Officer Eugene Goodman, a large percentage of the Congress would https://twitter.com/alecmacgillis/status/1350897636874838019
Have been murdered. There is no moving on from this event. We cannot. We must not. Should we do so, it would be an inexplicable betrayal of American democracy. The seditionists who ransacked the Capitol were incited to do so by the President of the United States and his son.
They were incited by Rudy Guiliani, @HawleyMO, @tedcruz @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy, @mattgaetz, @Votejimjordan. @MarkMeadows, @kayleighmcenany, @laurenboebert @VP and many others. They collectively poisoned American democracy with their embrace of the Big Lie about a legitimate
and fair election being stolen. They lied, incited and lied again. They inflamed Trump’s extremist thugs with insanity and cynicism. They sought to throw out millions of Black votes to maintain the power of the loser of the Presidential election. If they had suceeded the

Killed 6 people. The propagandists at Fox, Newsmax, Oan, and a dozen lesser extremist news organizations share responsibility for the mayhem. @SteveScalise is telling his members that Corporate America will be back in the pay to play business within 6 months. I think he is

Years ever defend supporting the majority of GOP members who tried to throw out millions of black votes after more than 6O federal court actions made clear there was no fraud at all? January 6th was a historic event that will shale this country for many years. It drew an
Unerasable line between Americanism and Trumpism. Trumpism like all autocratic movements is rooted in lies, conspiracies and manipulation. Fascism has indeed come to America and as was once predicted it has come wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross. This immoral movement
Must be crushed. The future of American liberty depends on victory in the long fight ahead. @ProjectLincoln
