When we protest racial injustice, we are gassed, shot at, and even killed.

When violent racists and fascists attack our very democracy, Trump opens the door to the #CapitolBuilding

Know the difference.

Full statement from @SmileyJWJ 👇🏿
Pro-Trump rioters are marched into our #CapitolBuilding with confederate flags because of an election result they don't like.

This is the flag of insurrection — it always has been.

Trump has reawakened a base of people who never wanted us to have a multi-racial democracy.
These rioters represent the minority of voters — we cannot allow them to trample on our democracy.

Which is why we must call them what they are: Not protestors, but racists. Not patriots, but anti-democratic fascists.
Are marching**

Sorry, y'all -- responding to racists and fascists storming the capitol can cause typos.
Today’s events at the Capitol are a threat to democracy. We cannot bend to Trump or to his fascist, white supremacist supporters.

@SpeakerPelosi and @senatemajldr must reconvene Congress as soon as it is safe to certify the election results.

Tell them 👇🏿

Sorry, white nationalists -- you can't subvert the will of the people, and you sure as hell aren't stronger than our Democracy 👇

Trump and his cronies mobilized state violence against Black racial justice protestors — and opened the doors of the Capitol to white nationalists.

This wasn't a coincidence.

More from @SmileyJWJ 👇🏿🧵 1/ Image
The same police who gassed us, beat us and killed us for talking about racial equality took SELFIES with the racist insurrectionists who invaded our #CapitolBuilding yesterday

Call it what it was — an institutional endorsement of white nationalism 2/ Image
Those responsible for encouraging white supremacists + violence upon racial justice protestors must be held accountable.

Trump and his cronies must be removed from power immediately. And there must be a FULL investigation into the security response to yesterday's events. 3/ Image
