I wrote a book about January 6, 2021.

Want to know when the Trump administration began its systematized lying about antifa and the FBI being behind MAGAs' attack on the Capitol?

January 6, 2021.

Rudy Giuliani had a suite at the Willard Hotel that was the command center for broadcasting that lie.

Plump and the GOP constantly lie through their teeth

Plump's Lil' "Keebler Elf" Johnson thought it would be a good idea to take questions from the public. A man accused him of lying about illegal immigrants draining Medicaid. Johnson challenged the man to "look at the documents," so Jen Psaki did.

Refusing to accept reality and create a reality just for you is characteristic of narcissism.

This is all united. And it's how we are here. Part of our population made our nation's history a religion, a fairy tale, and divorced themselves from our nation at the same time.

They voted for this.

4. Racism connected to narcissism. Racism today is more arrogance than ignorance.

Imagine believing that in today's world, you achieved what you did based on your own efforts alone. No help from social structures or community.

The hubris you need to have to believe that is mind blowing.

On this day in 1991 Anita Hill accused Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment. Few believed her claims then, not enough people believed Hillary Clinton in 2016 and too few listened to Kamala Harris in 2024. See a pattern? Believe women, burn the patriarchy.

Trump’s presidency has been defined by the decay of public information sources and dismantling of public health institutions.

So firing the people who produce the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Report certainly tracks.

Great point from @mjtoma.bsky.social: Millions of us absolutely do see what's happening to the USA.

"We are horrified, shocked, enraged, and ashamed. We are acting, in a thousand ways, to oppose it. This cannot, and will not, be how the United States ends."

This is dedicated to those who believed DJT and legacy media coverage that Project 2025 was nothing to be concerned about.

Also, this isn’t legal.
