So, did the Democrats storm the Capitol today like GOP/MAGA/trump militias did 4 years ago when they didn't get their way?
Didn't think so.

"My fellow officers and I were punched, kicked, shoved, sprayed with chemical irritants by a violent mob," Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell testified to Congress about his experience in the tunnel on Jan. 6. "I could feel myself losing oxygen and recall thinking to myself: 'this is how I'm going to die - defending this entrance.'"

#Jan62021 Two yrs. ago I wept as I witnessed the attack and desecration of our beloved Capitol. The fact that none of the Republicans who planned, supported, denied citizens’ votes and the demagogue who instigated it are not only not brought to justice for their crimes against our country, but are free to continue to function in the government to create chaos and to spread their venomous lies. If the AG won’t do his job, why is he still there?

Owens begins his introduction with #Jan62021, "the day America was canceled," whispering the tension his book will feel between the MAGA forces attempting to demolish anything progressive and the ongoing _necessity_ of calling out bad behavior by public figures.

On January 6, a committee of House Democrats sold seven whoppers
