Four years ago right now. This was our evacuation team that got us out of the Capitol. When they knocked on our hiding place door, they had a code word & we had a response word so we knew they were actual USCP. You can see them holding back rioters. The “Join Us!” chant to cops was stomach turning.

The fact that they were allowed to just... go home... and carry on with their bullshit still boggles the mind. Biden basically said, they're our co-workers & should be so respected that there will be no consequences for their coordinated sedition. Why would we ever punish these rich white people?

I knew we were cooked when Lee Zeldin was allowed to run for governor of NY in 2022 and laugh off every 1/6 question he got (and he barely got any)

Don't forget that Nancy Pelosi refused to hold an immediate impeachment vote.

The Republican party is nothing more than a domestic terrorist organization.

Trump's about to pardon all these domestic terrorists, too.

I'm starting to wonder if the intention and purpose of the Democrats is to be ineffectual. That their job is to maintain the illusion that there is opposition to the right-wing.

I swear they identified certain issues (abortion, M4A) that were so good for fundraising that it was not in their interest to actually fix them

they also got a taste of the GQP's capitalist gravy train and are loath to give it up

They wouldn’t have been able to set foot in the Capitol if this were a normal, functioning country.

Pardon my editorial license on repost.

Thanks & deep gratitude for speaking with such a fiery heart & well-crafted words to expose what we really all already know whenever we raise our heads out of the thick supremacy soup into which we're born.
Is looking up enough?
Wise up. Rise up.💚
