3/ Appalling footage is surfacing of pro-#Bolsonaro rioters dragging and beating the police protecting 🇧🇷#Brazil's capitol.
This is very, very bad.
And looks extremely orchestrated.

Bitcoin champion, convoy enthusiast and walking climate disaster Pierre Poilievre is officially the new leader of the "Conservative" Party of Canada. I'm told I should be *very* afraid he'll become the Prime Minster. I'm not. I don't think he has a hope in hell 🧵#cdnpoli
People have short memories and the (ongoing) pandemic feels like a lifetime ago which is why Canadians may need reminding what "Conservative" leadership would have looked like during that time had Polly been PM. No CERB. No nothing. You're on your own. /2
Might as well nip this in the bud: I'm not AT ALL advising anybody "let their guard down". I think this generation of "Conservatives" need the electoral reckoning of their entire existence so all future generations know not to float this extremist garbage at Canadians. /3
"many of the Oath Keepers present at the Capitol were military veterans. The U.S. government is unintentionally training its own insurrectionists"

"Unlike in the case of international terrorism, where the US State Dept designates foreign terrorist organizations so that the Justice Department can then preemptively pursue investigations based on affiliations, no such designation process exists for domestic terror groups"
"In an interview ...Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro lays out the plot to overturn the election.
...
what’s remarkable here — while also familiar — is how forthrightly Navarro is copping to the plot, as if it was no big deal, really."

"It’s been no secret that Donald Trump tried to leverage VP Mike Pence’s historically ceremonial role overseeing the counting of electoral votes in his effort to overturn the election. But it wasn’t until September that we got a sense of the full scope of the plan"

TRUMP’S NEXT COUP HAS ALREADY BEGUN
January 6 was practice. Donald Trump’s GOP is much better positioned to subvert the next election.

"Technically, the next attempt to overthrow a national election may not qualify as a coup. It will rely on subversion more than violence, although each will have its place. If the plot succeeds, the ballots cast by American voters will not decide the presidency in 2024."
"The prospect of this democratic collapse is not remote. People with the motive to make it happen are manufacturing the means.
Given the opportunity, they will act.
They are acting already."

#BucksCounty #PA01's far-right are flying all-black American flags. The flag means "no quarter given" and implies a willingness to use (lethal) violence against perceived enemies: liberals. Spoke w/ @AmyCooter to make sense of this troubling development. buckscountycouriertimes.com/story/opinion/…
"For more than a decade I tried to tell people that militias are under-counted as a political barometer to learn about what many mainstream conservatives are thinking," said @AmyCooter, expert on US domestic militias & right-wing "patriot" groups. #PA01 militia leader posted one
#Wilmington man who attended #Jan6Insurrection & held black American flag said:
"No enemy combatants will receive aid. Basically, if you are an enemy combatant, you will be shot on sight." #BucksCounty #PA01

1) Vividly remember watching #Jan6Insurrection in real time being horrified & understanding that it was clearly "an inside job" & by that I don't mean the Capitol police per se were letting it happen. It was clear that the executive branch & those in control of the CP etc (&
2) probably some of the officers themselves who were sympathetic to QAnon etc were allowing that crowd to take over the Capitol & Congress. Those like Off. Fanone who did their job were attached & punished as though they were Pelosi. Nauseating. Every guilty party needs max jail

@RepRaskin @/davetroy : “The Entire "Big History" Behind #Jan6Insurrection with a new introduction & foreword. Synthesizing rigorous historical research w/ primary sources & disinformation studies, this framework helps explain what's happened & what may be next.” davetroy.medium.com/the-big-histor…
I don't care for most profiles of Trump supporters. Somehow the economic struggles of white men & women are always a justification for violence and racism. However to go from Obama's inauguration to the #Jan6Insurrection is quite a story
propublica.org/article/the-ra…
propublica.org/article/the-ra…
For example. Posting that you want political leaders DEAD. But somehow the people around you are allowed to say you were just kidding around with buddies? Black folks are jailed for rap lyrics about criminality let alone threats
The problem w/ this story is that it doesn't explain HOW this process happened. Yes, lots of racist people voted for Obama. But to actually attend Obama's inauguration at 43 - then be at the insurrection 12 years later? That's pretty late in life for such a radical turn
