House Capitol attack panel ready to urge prosecution of Trump aides, says Schiff
Mark Meadows, Dan Scavino, Steve Bannon and Kash Patel all defying subpoenas under instruction from Trump
Go for it. Go big or go home. Lock them up. Don't forget Dinky's color is orange and prison will suit him just fine.
Found these on twitter. Just putting this here for all Americans. These are the names of the senators
(ETA: I most likely misunderstood and it's all members of the House and Senate, but take that with a grain of salt, since I neither can't find the original tweet, nor am I US American myself. Sorry for the inconvenience.)
who opposed the certification of Biden and thus chose Trump over America and the democratic process today! After the insurrection!
Just in case they don't get removed. Just so you know, who really, really should be voted out at the earliest chance.
In addition, please do your own research. As stated above,I'm not US American and thus are easily confused by your system of government and who gets to decide what. Check your voting options before the next elections, as I understand it, such things like the above are always on public record in the US. Make your own informed decisions.
They were there to "stop the steal" and to keep the president they revered in office, yet records show that some of the rioters who stormed the US Capitol did not vote in the very election they were protesting.
Many involved in the insurrection professed to be motivated by patriotism, falsely declaring that Trump was the rightful winner of the election. Yet at least eight of the people who are now facing criminal charges for their involvement in the events at the Capitol did not vote in the November 2020 presidential election, according to an analysis of voting records from the states where protestors were arrested and those states where public records show they have lived. They came from states around the country and ranged in age from 21 to 65.
It was surreal to watch the siege on the Capital building, as an American abroad. Its just not something that happens in a democracy as established and strong as America and I thought this Newsweek article illustration really captured how fragile the US seems.
Taken from Newsweek.
I thought this was a powerful image taken on Jan 6th when Trump supporter extremists waged an insurrection onto the US capital building and the congress men and women who were inside working on validating the results of the recent election. Donald Trump has been waging war on the media since he came into office in 2016 and many of his “following” agree with his rhetoric that the news media is all fake news. It set a dangerous precedent that the new media, reputable ones, cannot be trusted.

This week's episode is a conversation between two white Americans, directed at calling our white listeners into a conversation about race. To our non-white listeners, we invite you to listen and reach out if there is anything we could improve on. We are still unlearning & relearning, but to stay silent is to be complicit so we are using what platform we have to hold space for this essential conversation. Robin DeAngelo popularized the term white fragility with her book, White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism. This book is a great place to start if you're a white person looking to unlearn some of your internalized racism. There is some controversy surrounding it, so I will say it is not a perfect book - but no single book on racism ever will be. An easy break down of the concept of white fragility can be found in these articles: https://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/a-sociologist-examines-the-white-fragility-that-prevents-white-americans-from-confronting-racism https://www.tolerance.org/magazine/summer-2019/whats-my-complicity-talking-white-fragility-with-robin-diangelo A much more in depth, scientific dive into the concept can be found in this journal article by Robin herself: https://libjournal.uncg.edu/ijcp/article/viewFile/249/116 White Rage is a term popularized by Carol Anderson's book White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide. I haven't read this one, so I can't speak to it. However, a fantastic breakdown of how white rage has divided this country since President Obama's election can be found here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/is-white-rage-driving-our-racial-divide/2016/06/22/fbeec9fc-22a8-11e6-aa84-42391ba52c91_story.html White Dominate Culture Norms are the norms & standard practices that exist throughout this country that make public spaces more comfortable & safe for white people than anybody else. Here is a great, short list of examples and their alternatives! https://www.cacgrants.org/assets/ce/Documents/2019/WhiteDominantCulture.pdf Finally, if you're in the UK I suggest Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race, by Reni Eddo-Lodge. It is written by an incredible Black, feminist, British woman who explores the specific brand of racism that exists in the UK. For other areas of the world, please reach out - I'm happy to help find resources that are specific to your geopolitical location. Racism & white supremacy are a global problem, but they do show up a bit differently depending on where you're located.

The Continuing Puzzle of Human Behaviour
The Continuing Puzzle of Human Behaviour
By Dr. David Laing Dawson Social media and instant mobile communication appear to have unleashed a human potential for hive behaviour. We talk of information silos, but the parallel behaviours of some groups within these silos seem to be simple stimulus response mechanisms rather than cognitive decision making based on information. So we come to the mob of insurrectionists and onlookers at the…
