An inauspicious anniversary.

The way things are going, a decade from now those of us who still tell the truth about what happened on 1/6 may be viewed as cranks, conspiracy theorists, or worse.

I’m glum. For today. Still, one day this will end and democratic principles will prevail. Hopefully. 🇺🇸

"Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past," as keen observer of totalitatrianism George O wrote in "1984" (the book, not the year).

Definitely a solemn and somber day. I do think the AP wrote a very good article about it. It's even-handed, thorough yet concise, and most importantly 100% accurate.

I’m not going to let them memory hole this.

Today should be named Seditious Traitor's Day

I feel the same. Made a brief trip to Twitter to post a reminder this morning on an account with a fair number of followers. So far it has five likes and two of those are from accounts of lovely ladies that may not actually exist. So many want to “move on” without dealing with it.

Update: After being up nearly 12 hours on an account with 3300+ followers, the number of Likes is 10 (still holding at only two by fake ladies) with one reply of a “beating a dead horse” gif.

I don’t bother to post much on TwitterX unless it’s sports

dkon.bsky.social•48 days ago

Ditto, but I’ve made it a point to post a reminder on January 6th every year, even though it’s an account I more or less limit to sports. I know it’s mostly going to an audience of Trump voters and/or uninformed people, but that’s who needs reminding the most.

I hope you are wrong about the way Jan. 6 will be remembered. Those of us who believe in telling the truth must shout it from the mountaintops. I did on my social media today.

I feel your pain. I want to feel hope.

With the number of sitting Republicans, who in the aftermath said one thing, who are now claiming it was no big deal... I fear that you are right.

Republicans failed us. We could have prevented a second Trump term had they had some moral courage.

I'll never forgive them for this.

The truth will win eventually since it’s the only thing that’s real. The question is how many lives will be ruined before it can prevail?
