So...let's have a lil chat about what's been going on and what's to come: a thread.
We now know, beyond a doubt as it's videoed:
1) Capitol cops were in on it
2) trump and his brood were right about orgasmic watching it
3) It was cosigned by many officials

They are brazen enough to talk about it on Parler. This is how we all know that they're going to try it again on Jan 19th.
The @FBI I'm sure is aware by now that they had explosives ready to go too.

Why aren't we making more noise about those who were complicit in this? Specifically the Pentagon officials who paused on the National Guard response. Because they're just as guilty.

First prediction: This is only the start of the shitshow.

They're already talking on Parler about Jan 19th and about how disappointed they are that their dear leader threw them under the bus.
8/
They frothed at the mouth for a civil war ever since Pres. Obama's first inauguration. They stormed the Capitol and found themselves welcome there.
They learned that they can do all sorts of shit without consequences.
This is very, very bad.

These people are of the same breed.
Worse, they actively believe their own delusion. It's almost impossible to deprogram that.

Pence has enabled his boss every second of the last 4 years. He isn't going to stop now.
Anyone who thinks to contrary needs to look at what he's done the last 4 years: kiss trump's tail end.

I think enough of them realized that.
I would like to hope, anyway.

And every. fucking. person. saw. him. encouraging them.

So now, here's my personal views, and if anyone from law enforcement is reading this, please understand that this is just my thoughts. If you wanna hire me though, please do.

@FBI warned us in 2006 about white supremacists infiltrating law enforcement. Wednesday was the result.
Three words: New Wickersham Commission.

Arrest. Every. Single. One.
Maximum mandatory sentences.
Shame their families.
Blackball them from future employment.
It worked with Charlottesville Nazis.

Remember that these are spoiled brats who never learned consequences are a thing.

Last night TPD arrested and charged two known organizers, @DailyTacoma and our own @ohdamn_jam.
So many people acted quickly, and we were able to make sure they both made bail.
You can read @ohdamn_jam's account of what happened here
If you remember, back in August we were made aware that Pierce County diverted COVID funds to monitor us. We know for sure they monitored and reported on this account and anyone associated with it, such as @DailyTacoma
Side note: They were not read their rights until munch later.

I AM HOME NOW. After a long night in jail for SITTING. Thanks to everyone who raised funds quickly to post my bail. We will be fighting this. Details on a protest tonight soon!

You can read @ohdamn_jam's account of what happened here
Last night, I was arrested by TPD. TPD wanted us to move a block away so they could "conduct an independent investigation." Shortly after questioning the legitimacy of the investigation, at least 15 police approached & arrested me as I was recording the arrest of @DailyTacoma.

They read us our rights well after I did NOT consent to searches (and was subsequently searched right after)

Our rights were not read until we were in the booking and processing area.
These people weren't murdered. They were legally executed after convictions for horrendous crimes, being sentenced to the death penalty, and going through countless appeals.
You can oppose the death penalty as a punishment without pretending that the people executed were victims or that carrying out those executions is comparable to murder.
As an example: Daniel Lee was a white supremacist who murdered a family (including an 8-year-old girl) by suffocating them with bags and then dumping their bodies in a swamp.
That's whose name @CoriBush wants you to remember.
Wesley Purkey admitted to kidnapping, raping, and then murdering a 16-year-old girl named Jennifer Long. He then dismembered her body. He also beat an 80-year-old woman to death.
Maybe we should learn the names of his victims instead, @CoriBush?
Dustin Honken was a meth dealer that murdered 5 people, including 2 girls under the age of 11, because their dad was set to testify against him on drug charges. He was specifically sentenced to death for killing the 2 kids.
The 13 people murdered by Trump's death row killing spree:
— Cori Bush (@CoriBush) January 17, 2021
Daniel Lee
Wesley Purkey
Dustin Honken
Lezmond Mitchell
Keith Nelson
William LeCroy Jr.
Christopher Vialva
Orlando Hall
Brandon Bernard
Alfred Bourgeois
Lisa Montgomery
Corey Johnson
Dustin Higgs
Say their names.

1/ In "stupid lawsuits over mean tweets" news, the 6th Cir. will hear arguments shortly in a case against @kathygriffin (save your personal opinions about her, I really don't care). Listen in here at 1:30 Eastern:
2/ The case has flown mostly under the radar, likely because it was dismissed on the relatively unsexy issue of personal jurisdiction. But it's extremely important in cases about online speech (I'll add more to this thread later about that).
3/ The suit was brought by parents of Covington Catholic students that attended that infamous 'March for Life', who probably saw the Sandmann lawsuit and said "let's try to get rich off of this too!" There's no shortage of lawyers willing to help you on that quest.
4/ The basis of the lawsuit is that during the whirlwind of coverage over the March for Life incident, Kathy Griffin sent some tweets about identifying the protesters seen in the videos that went viral.
Complaint: https://t.co/EF9ST2Som5
5/ The lawsuit calls these tweets "doxing," which strikes me as kind of hyperbolic. I know some people disagree with me on this, but the identity of someone taking part in a public event (which is literally all Griffin asked for) is not particularly private information.

The first area to focus on is diversity. This has become a dogma in the tech world, and despite the fact that tech is one of the most meritocratic industries in the world, there are constant efforts to promote diversity at the expense of fairness, merit and competency. Examples:

Also in the name of diversity, there is unabashed discrimination against men (especially white men) in tech, in both hiring policies and in other arenas. One such example is this, a developer workshop that specifically excluded men: https://t.co/N0SkH4hR35

Further Examination of the Motif near PRRA Reveals Close Structural Similarity to the SEB Superantigen as well as Sequence Similarities to Neurotoxins and a Viral SAg.
The insertion PRRA together with 7 sequentially preceding residues & succeeding R685 (conserved in β-CoVs) form a motif, Y674QTQTNSPRRAR685, homologous to those of neurotoxins from Ophiophagus (cobra) and Bungarus genera, as well as neurotoxin-like regions from three RABV strains
