I do not have video of this. Some of my footage malfunctioned and the data was lost; but a second woman died (or came close). Some people said this happened to a man but I perceived a woman. She had on shredded (I think) jeans with red leggings underneath. It was a very...

men carried her back to the police line. She was very cyanotic & bleeding from the face.

This happened within the entry hall and directly in front of the entrance to the Capital building in DC. I’m not seeing this reported or hearing that people are aware of it.

She collapsed in the entry way to the capital Building. I was filming at the edge of the entrance just outside the flow a large group of people pressing into & being pressed from behind into the hallway. A large man grabbed from behind, pushed me into the Frey and said,...

“you’re going in, get in there,” (I think). And I was fought in the mob and pressed into the entry hallway.

I managed to pull myself into a corner nook against the wall. Moments after, the police inside made a great push outward against the dozens of people pushing...

At this point, the police and citizens began unleashing a sea of spray mace from both sides. It was nearly impossible to breathe or keep from panicking. The man next to me passed...

as I was surrounded by police, front and back, the entryway cleared and an officer directed me to exit then or to remain. I exited.

After this, I came across the woman laying unconscious, not breathing and the rest was mentioned above.

There won't be a rerun of Jan 6. The riot at the Capitol was unique in many ways: Trump called for it; it was the last chance to "overturn" the election; it was huge in scale.


The coming Trumpist events on Jan 17 and Jan 20 will probably be much smaller in scale, especially in DC. The MAGA crew can't buy another flight and take more days off work so soon after Jan 6.

Some of the Trumpist forums are actively suspicious of these events, claiming they're FBI or Antifa traps. A lot of people at TDW felt that the *design* of this flyer was too lefty to be real!


Unfortunately, that doesn't mean everything will be OK. The statehouse events on Jan 17 have the potential to turn violent, where a few hundred people could be enough to overwhelm local authorities.

MAGA anger at a lot of the GOP is high, as well as against Dems. Even red states could see problems, so I hope authorities are prepared.

“We don’t negotiate salaries” is a negotiation tactic.

Always. No, your company is not an exception.

A tactic I don’t appreciate at all because of how unfairly it penalizes low-leverage, junior employees, and those loyal enough not to question it, but that’s negotiation for you after all. Weaponized information asymmetry.

And by the way, you should never be worried that an offer would be withdrawn if you politely negotiate.

I have seen this happen *extremely* rarely, mostly to women, and anyway is a giant red flag. It suggests you probably didn’t want to work there.

You wish there was no negotiating so it would all be more fair? I feel you, but it’s not happening.

Instead, negotiate hard, use your privilege, and then go and share numbers with your underrepresented and underpaid colleagues. […]
