Trailer has arrived for "Affairs of the Art," the new 16-minute short by the amazing joanna quiobe. It's surely one of our most anticipated shorts of 2021. In it, 59-year-old factory worker Beryl is determined to become an artist. Watch the trailer here: youtu.be/s-xXpYGNPmk

Members of Congress elected on the very same ballots to which they plan to object on Jan 6 should refuse to be sworn-in tomorrow, for if Trump’s defeat isn’t legitimate, how can their victories be legitimate?

Fun Fact: In 1861, 11 U.S. Senators were expelled from the Senate for refusing to recognize the election of Abraham Lincoln.

GA Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger Thank you for your courage and patriotism.

Here’s one other thing the latest Trump tape reaffirmed: Whatever else he has done or will do, GA Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger deserves enormous credit for standing up to the kind of pressure he has endured from the President Donald J. Trump and his mob.

I am in the House Chambers. We have been instructed to lie down on the floor and put on our gas masks. Chamber security and Capitol Police have their guns drawn as protesters bang on the front door of the chamber. This is not a protest. This is an attack on America.

Radicalized. Some of our fellow Americans have been radicalized. Is anyone still in denial about this?

The U.S. Capitol was breached today for the first time since 1814, when the British attacked it and set it on fire during the war of 1812, according to the director of scholarship and operations with the U.S. Capitol Historical Society. How shameful.

JUST POSTED: Today Donald J. Trump became a terrorist leader. The Trump-incited attack on the Capitol is an unprecedented act of domestic terrorism. It's the predictable culmination of Trumpism—and the GOP owns it, too. Please read, RT, Like and share. motherjones.com/politics/2021/…

"Many of those pro-Trump rioters probably dispute the idea of white privilege. But the fact that they were allowed to overrun the police and invade the Senate and House chambers was evidence of that privilege."

Joe Scarborough on Morning Joe: If these insurrections were "black they would've been shot in the face" and "if they were Muslim they would've been sniped from the top of buildings!"

"There is no way to overstate the significance of this moment, no way to ignore the power of the message that these events send to both the friends and the enemies of democracy, everywhere." Piece by Anne Applebaum theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Some people ask: Why would you impeach and convict a president who has only a few days left in office? The answer: Precedent. It must be made clear that no president, now or in the future, can lead an insurrection against the U.S. government.

Between 2020 & 2021 we could safely assume that all students have experienced trauma. So now our teaching practices we need to change. We don't need to address or have a student share their trauma we just assume they have some. Which means we go to a more humane way.

BREAKING on MSNBC: Reps. Jamie Raskin, Ted Lieu, and David Cicilline plan to introduce articles of impeachment against Trump on Monday during the House pro forma session, according to two congressional officials.

Since it appears GOP leaders need a reminder: There is no “healing” from this without accountability. And there is no “unity” with white supremacists. You know the President’s state has devolved dangerously. If you’re too weak to do anything about it, you’re too weak to serve.
