My thoughts today are with the security people and police officers who defended the Capitol on January 6 and have been treated with such distain since by the GOP. For them and the Democratic leadership who lived through such chaos and no doubt continue to carry the scars within. We will not forget.

We cannot forget who was complicit on January 6th.
Ted Cruz fanned the flames of insurrection.
Ken Paxton provoked the rioters before the assault.
John Cornyn refused to investigate the attack.
They have forfeited their right to represent us in our nation’s Capitol.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

Speaker Mike Johnson's goal with telling MAGA base that the No Kings rally is a Hate America rally and that it's filled with Antifa terrorists is to incite violence against the rally. He knows MAGA will commit violence. Then Trump can call out the military on Democrats to silence dissent.

Oh. Damn it. It's already banned in parts of the USA.
When a book becomes alive. Too quick.
It seems it's already too late for a rising. But I do hope I am wrong.
