I'm sorry but #BlackLivesMatter protests should never be treated like the #CapitolRiot. Protesting in response to murders committed by police is not the same as committing a violent #CapitolBuilding attack b/c you didn't like the winner of an election #impeachment #25thAmendment
And if it isn't already obvious..... #BlackLivesMatter protestors have already been treated *much* more severely than the #TrumpSupporters who murdered two police officers which were defending the lives of our senators and Vice President inside the #CapitolBuilding
I generally have a high degree of tolerance for people whose views I do not share, but I have zero tolerance for hate.
TRÅD Ett intressant fenomen in högern just nu är att man lyfter fram selfie-tagande som ett kriterium för om historiska aktörer är seriösa i sitt störtande av makten eller ej. Tydligen har några statsvetare sagt att så är fallet. Jag kan, som historiker, tala om att det ej är så.
Faktum är att det snarare är regel än undantag att revolutionärer eller andra som deltagit i störtande av makthavare fotograferar sig själva i maktens centra. Här två exempel: amerikanska soldater i Hitlers hus i Berchtesgaden.
Här ryska bolsjevikiska revolutionärer

🔥CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY TO OVERTHROW THE ELECTION 🗳 Months ahead of the #CapitolRiots Trump and his minions gutted the DHS threat assessment group that would normally send info and Intel to law enforcement on threats like the #CoupAttempt ⚠️ abcnews.go.com/US/months-ahea…
🚨At least two critical intelligence-gathering programs were essentially shuttered, and the office's routine of issuing planning bulletins to police in advance of major public events was all but terminated. GOAL: Burn Down The Administrative State🔥

3/13 "Moments after voting on the Senate floor, Senator @amyklobuchar joins us from a secure location inside #CapitolBuilding and says the president is responsible for today's failed attempted coup, and she wants every person involved to be prosecuted."
There has been renewed interest in the concept of "leaderless resistance" and the role it plays in fomenting attacks like what we saw on Wednesday at the #CapitolBuilding 1/
Properly understood, leaderless resistance is a strategy of opposition that was developed within the radical right to allow for and encourage individuals or small cells to engage in acts of political violence entirely independent of a direct command structure 2/
“Leaderless resistance” was actually an essay penned in '83 by Louis Beam, a Klansman and longstanding participant in the Aryan Nations. He republished it in 1992 in his magazine, The Seditionist, which has had an outsized impact within the racist far right since that time 3/
Radio host Jenna Ryan (@dotjenna): "We just stormed the Capital (sic). It was one of the best days of my life."
Texas radio host and estate agent Jenna Ryan flew in a private jet to storm the #Capitol. "It was he one of the best days of my life... God wanted us there" 🙄 dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9…

On #January6th 2021, Donald #Trump attempted a coup. He failed. But it was absolutely an attempted coup. It followed a familiar pattern: (1/4)
Step 1: The defeated president gives a speech to a group of supporters where he tells them he was robbed of the election, denounces his own administration's members and party as traitors and tells his supporters to storm the building where the voting is being held.(2/4)
Step 2: Supporters, many dressed in military attire and waving revolutionary-style flags, then storm the building where the federal law-enforcement agencies controlled by the current president do not establish a security cordon and quickly overwhelm police.(3/4)
Trump and his cronies mobilized state violence against Black racial justice protestors — and opened the doors of the Capitol to white nationalists.
This wasn't a coincidence.

Those responsible for encouraging white supremacists + violence upon racial justice protestors must be held accountable.
Trump and his cronies must be removed from power immediately. And there must be a FULL investigation into the security response to yesterday's events. 3/

So... I have figured out who was behind the attempted coup -- the infamous terrorist organization -- #Cobra! It started when I spotted #Zartan rampaging in the #CapitolBuilding! Then I started seeing Cobra villains everywhere! Check out my thread... #Terrorism #CapitolRiots
😬per @Acosta - @realDonaldTrump abandoned @VP Pence his wife and his family as #TrumpTerrorists stormed the Capitol. Trump wanted something to happen to @Mike_Pence ‼️Pence needs to call for #25thAmendmentNow
😳@realDonaldTrump was watching TV in the dining room and holding off on the National Guard ... Meanwhile he’s so pissed at Pence he didn’t check on him and his family‼️Trump wanted his mob to go after Pence‼️#25thAmendmentNow
FFS. As the Capitol was under siege, Trump was tweeting out messages about Pence and encouraging the mob that it was ALL @VP’s fault‼️ #25thAmendmentNow reason.com/2021/01/06/tru…
After reviewing a lot of footage there seem to be 2 types of ppl at the #capitolbreach.
Group 1: Selfies. Unsure what to do once inside #CapitolBuilding
Group 2: Purposeful. men who know each other & head for senate floor w/tactical gear & backpacks.

Group 2: Purposeful. men who know each other & head for senate floor w/tactical gear & backpacks.
Group 2: Take a look at how quickly these men move in and make entry as soon as the outer glass (& inner shutters) of the window are breached.
Group 2: window entry. First man in helped by others, is wearing a bulletproof plate visible as a bulge under his jacket. Other men with kevlar helmets follow with heavy military backpacks & gear.
OK so flag thread... amongst the usual suspects of US flags, Gadsden (Don't Tread On Me) flags, TRUMP flags there were Thin Blue Line flags OK not surprising, but hang on what's that green tree on a white background flag...? Well... #CapitolInsurrection #CapitolRiots #CapitolHill
That is the Washington Cruisers flag, or the Appeal to Heaven flag used by the nascent US Navy during the Revolutionary War. Is the person flying it trying to say this is a revolution. #CapitolInsurrection #CapitolRiots #CapitolHill
OK what's next... well as @LalehKhalili observed, we have non-Islamic Republic, Iranian flags (there are many iterations) denoting resistance/moarchist affiliation...
Let's name and shame them! #Capitol #CapitolBuilding #CapitolRiots #MAGATerrorists #Antifa

Violence at US #CapitolBuilding
International observers called for peace after violence racked the capital city. Recent elections drew charges of widespread rigging from the losing side. Results remain bitterly contested with the incumbent autocrat unwilling to relinquish power.

Human Rights groups repeated calls to ensure the safety of the civilian population and ask the regime to abjure use of violence on protestors.
Recent protests have exposed the ethnic and political divides in this fragile nation state, created by White squatters.

It's a satire in line with how @nytimes or other Western media covers "third world" elections. I thought most people would catch on. 😏
When we protest racial injustice, we are gassed, shot at, and even killed.
When violent racists and fascists attack our very democracy, Trump opens the door to the #CapitolBuilding
Know the difference.

Pro-Trump rioters are marched into our #CapitolBuilding with confederate flags because of an election result they don't like.
This is the flag of insurrection — it always has been.
Trump has reawakened a base of people who never wanted us to have a multi-racial democracy.

These rioters represent the minority of voters — we cannot allow them to trample on our democracy.
Which is why we must call them what they are: Not protestors, but racists. Not patriots, but anti-democratic fascists.

Right now you’re probably seeing hundreds of photos and videos from the chaotic scene on #CapitolHill at the #CapitolBuilding. Or are you?
When protestors began streaming into D.C. yesterday, an unverified Twitter account with less than 1,000 followers shared a photo claiming to show the action that racked up more than 14,000 RTs. It’s false.
It was ACTUALLY an image from the 2018 #MarchForOurLives protest. Using out-of-context pics is one way bad actors push disinformation out to thousands of social feeds during breaking news events. You could have figured that out right away with a reverse image search.
Social media is hitting a fever pitch about the lockdown at the #CapitolBuilding. Please STOP before you click retweet or re-share anything you see on this subject and ask yourself these 3 key questions to fact-check it and prevent yourself from sharing misinformation... (THREAD)
1. WHO IS BEHIND THE INFORMATION? Click on their bio. Are they an expert on the subject // verified? Why should you trust what they say? Any indications they have an agenda? Any bot-like activity on their account? If you have an extra sec, Google them. Any red flags?
2. WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE? What in their post proves to you what they are claiming is accurate? Be skeptical. Do they provide context? Social media rewards short form posts, if you don't have enough info in the post to answer this question, go on to question 3...
The question everyone, especially law enforcement, needs to ask is: how did #Cult45 members get into the Capital building?? Someone on the inside is complicit in this fascist display. #WashingtonDC #DCProtests
#MitchMcConnell fully enabled & helped create this fascist Frankenstein monster. His empty words now mean nothing.

#Cult45 thugs roaming the Capital building shouting “DEFEND TRUMP”. Their goal is not truth, democracy or the constitution, it is fulfilling the delusion of a psychopath. #WashingtonDC #TrumpRally
