Brilliant satirical cover from Private Eye, mocking spineless media organisations and journalists who submit and cower in the face of power 👏

As the January 6th riots fall further into the past, Republicans are doing everything they can to whitewash their treason. We can’t let them. We remember what they did, and we will never let them, or the American people, forget.

@georgetakei.bsky.social please help to get the word out - let's start a postcard campaign and flood the Speaker's office with "Install the J6 plaque now!" message. We can do this and HE should do it.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s
