My rage has not abated, it has grown. I worked on the Hill on 9/11 & when 2 police officers were tragically killed by a madman with a gun--surprise attacks that lead to dramatic security increases. BILLIONS have been spent to protect OUR house-the people's house. And yet...1/

This attack--planned in plain site by a bunch of morons who had merch!--was carried out with little resistance. Think about it, the seditious mob brought and built a gallows and platform with 6x6 beams at OUR capitol. This required some planning. 2/

I have been to every kind of protest you can imagine in DC-its part of DC life-#climatechange, women's rights, gun control, and nobody ever brought a ladder to storm the Capitol. In fact, nobody ever tried to storm the Capitol at all. Nobody.

Hell, I even went to the first Million Man March in 1995, when a million BLACK men came to DC. Guess what?
NOBODY had a ladder or a sledgehammer or zip ties and nobody tried to stage an invasion. If they had, we all know what would have happened. 7/

Meanwhile, my former colleagues had to evacuate with their hands up. Staff literally running for safety from white seditionists. Those I have talked to continue to process fear, rage, and sadness. This trauma is real.

A few years ago my family and I were driving from visiting relatives in Texas when we were stuck in traffic on the I-10. We were at a complete dead stop when a woman (texting) in a Suburban hit us at 70 mph. She crushed the back of our car like a soda can. 3/


Thankfully, our two-year-old was in a good carseat and I absorbed the brunt of the injuries with a few shards of glass in my scalp. I won't show those pictures! While a high speed rail network along the Gulf Coast may have not prevented that accident, it could prevent most. 4/

Electrifying household appliances will reduce our 'dependence' on natural gas and transmission methane leaks, but the switch will also cut the number of carbon monoxide poisonings and natural gas related explosions that kill Americans everyday. 5/
