I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day.

Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me.

"Iron laws of the world"? Some of America's most important national accomplishments are about leading humanity away from this kind of bullshit.

If we let ideologues like Stephen Miller drag us back into a world where brute force is all that matters, all of us will be less safe.

WATCH — @mehdirhasan.bsky.social : "Can we finally put this BS to bed that Trump is the 'peace president’? This man bombed 7 countries last year... Can a foreign country indict Trump and send in their Special Forces to grab the president of the US? This is madness.”

Once again we see the Trump ethos that says simply being rich makes you “the best.”

You don’t need to have earned that money yourself or even done anything ethical to get it; if you’ve got cash in your bank account, that’s good enough for him to trust you and think you’re special.
Lutnick: "We should be bringing in the best and brightest, and that's what Donald Trump is changing about our immigration system. Let's expedite the best and brightest who are gonna give a million dollars to the US to prove they're at the top of the list."

Xmas reminder: If GOP didn’t give 800 billionaires a $2T tax cut (again)—we’d have enough for SNAP & to cancel medical & student debt.

GOP sold out 200M Americans for 800 billionaires.

This is what class war on working people looks like. Stop bootlicking billionaires. Tax them out of existence.

ICE has arrested about 600 immigrants in the city of Chicago. You know how many of them have criminal records? Sixteen.

They promised to secure the border and remove anybody who was violent — and they lied.
