Events on the House floor yesterday, mark much more than the beginning a Republican majority in the House.

It marks the beginning of the end of any socially responsible legislation. The politically fatal concessions waterboarded out of McCarthy will have a profound impact on everyday Americans.

Of 435 elected representatives, the entire legislative agenda will be driven by less than 5% of representatives, many of who supported insurrection and 25% of whom don’t believe in government at all.

On Dec 2, 1859, Abolitionist John Brown was the first American ever executed for treason. The second ever executed for treason was Aaron Dwight Stevens (March 15, 1831 – March 16, 1860).

Their crimes? Attempting to free the enslaved. The first Americans executed for treason was for the crime of freeing the enslaved.

Legality is not always a measure of justice & morality, but a measure of power. This was only two life spans ago.

May we learn from these atrocities & uphold justice forever.
