Five years ago, Donald Trump instigated a violent insurrection in the Capitol to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 election. The fact that the GOP coddled him, protected him, renominated him, and now support him in office, is a stain that will never be erased.

Jan. 6, 2021, should have been the end of the Trump era. Shame on everyone for whom it wasn’t.
Rep. Raskin: "Republicans today are observing this solemn anniversary by doing exactly nothing. They've even refused to hang up the plaque, which a bipartisan congressional majority voted to put up to honor the officers who defended the Capitol & the peaceful transfer of power."

Walz: "We've got conspiracy theorists, right-wing YouTubers, breaking into our daycares, demanding access to our children. We've got the president demonizing our Somali neighbors and wrongfully confiscating funds that Minnesotans rely on. It's disgusting and it's dangerous."

🔴 I'll say it till I'm blue in the face: the mental underling, Poilievre, is severely UNFIT to be Prime Minister of a great country such as Canada. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Fortunately, Canadian voters know it too.

If ever there were a time you might want a separate but equal branch of the United States government to run a check on the president, it would be now ….

I’m told that in his speech Trump didn’t mention national security or drug trafficking at all, but mentioned oil 20 times.

He’s not even good at faking it. And now he says “no one can stop us” from doing it to another nation- and another after that.

@maddow.bsky.social: “There are very few Americans right now who have any idea why the United States did this. If this was about drug trafficking then why did President Trump just pardon the former President of Honduras who was convicted of sending hundreds of tons of drugs into the US?”

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

It’s a move to run the western hemisphere, per Yarvin’s (and tech billionaires’) Dark Enlightenment playbook.
Trump says we need to go after drug cartels.

Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on.

And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking.

Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.

It's a power grab.

Yes, Trump is the January 6th president, not only because of his own actions since that day, but because his coordinated, violent attack on democracy appealed to people who hate the US and its institutions, and because they now staff his administration.

Do you think talking about the children victims of #ICELawlessness will make a difference to MAGA voters?

What about low-information voting Republicans?

What about independents?

What about non-voters?

What about you?

Don't turn away from this story.
