Remember #MariamCarey? She was shot and killed by Capitol police when her car hit a barricade at the Capitol entrance...they said she breeched security. #SayHerName #BlackLivesMatter #ThisIsAmerica

For reference, there were 14,000+ arrests at the George Floyd protests.

“Before Trump will allow himself to be chased from the temple, he’ll bring it down.” I wrote that line in 2019. Some thought it hyperbolic. Well, what say you now?

While today’s terrible display of terror and meanness shakes us, let’s remember: Jon Ossoff, Jewish son of an immigrant & Reverend Raphael Warnock, first Black Senator from Georgia, will join a Catholic POTUS & the first woman, Black + Indian VP in our nation’s capital. God bless America.

#removetrumpnow Pass it on.

We’re not asking you to shoot them like you shoot us, we’re asking you to NOT shoot us like you don’t shoot them...

Elaine Chao's resignation, and her husband Mitch McConnell's break with Trump bring to mind what Ruth Ben-Ghiat, authoritarian expert, and author of "Strongmen" calls "The phenomenon of elite defection in the end, when their personal safety is in peril."

We can fortify the defenses of the Capitol.  We can reinforce doors and put up fences. But we cannot guard our democracy against those who walk the halls of the Capitol, have taken an oath to uphold our Constitution, but refuse to do so.

So let me get this straight: Republicans in Congress wanted to impeach Obama for passing the Affordable Care Act, but they don't want to impeach Trump for inciting an insurrection?

Another lesson of this past week may be that it has not been such a great idea for civics and history classes to be reduced or eliminated in so many of our schools.

A male president was so angry he lost that he incited a mob against the U.S. Capitol. I never want to hear again that women would be "too emotional" to be president.

As you honor my father today, please honor my mother, as well. She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center, which she founded less than three months after Daddy died. Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no #MLKDay. #MLK  #BelovedCommunity

If the Republicans in Congress tweeting MLK quotes today real cared about his legacy, they’d have already passed the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.

MLK deserves actual study. If you haven’t had the chance to, use today to take in his work. Places to start- Speeches: - Drum Major Instinct - To the Mountaintop - Beyond Vietnam Books: - Why We Can’t Wait - Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community? - All Labor Has Dignity

Mrs. Obama is serving grace, waist, and cover your face. Eat your hearts out, Washington
