Live Updates: Pro-Trump Protesters Storm the Capitol

I am reading and following this with terror in my heart.

I try to keep my online presence here all about pretendy fun times when I can

But I can’t right now.

I am so afraid right now :: curls with::

The last time the Capitol building was invaded was the War of 1812.

When Black Lives Matter gathered outside of the Capitol building to peacefully protest, Trump had them shot with tear gas grenades.

And yet the Capitol Police are now just attempting to “talk them down,” or simply “pleading for them to go back outside,” and then standing back and just letting them do whatever when these idiots just say, “No.”

How...effective.

These aren’t protesters, they’re terrorists. And the fact that the news hasn’t calle them such is yet another example of our systemic racism problem.
