2/ That’ll help us get past Jan. 20 at a time when Biden can’t trust police or DoD.
It won’t solve the real problem— white supremacy.
Here’s another screenshot. “Birth Of A Nation” is an infamous movie about the KKK saving the South from Black rule during Reconstruction.
3/ I’m sure Biden & co don’t want to seem like they’re bowing to insurrectionists.
Well, the inauguration should be virtual regardless, because of COVID. Especially knowing it’ll bring thousands of maskless rioters.
So announce it now, before more buy plane tickets.
4/ To be clear, I’m not posting the whole video on purpose, and neither should you. We don’t need to score them more views than they’re already amassing.
But it’s well-produced, chilling, and a clear and emotive call for a violent coup in the name of God. And yes the FBI has it.

On a Facebook live tonight, @RepSherrill just said she saw members of Congress giving “reconnaissance” tours on Jan. 5, the day before the attack.
Here’s the clip.
Full video, which also includes an intense description of her first-hand experience during the attack. She helped @RepJayapal, who’s recovering from knee surgery (and now COVID), make it to the safe room: facebook.com/RepMikieSherri…
There is no unity without accountability.
We will build the country of our dreams by uniting forcefully and without apology against treason and white supremacy.
We swept both under the rug after the Civil War in the false name of “unity” and that got us exactly HERE. No more.
The Lincoln Project is soliciting donations to flip the GA Senate, and it is unconscionable.
Do not give them a penny.
A thread. 1/
/2 Lincoln Project says they’re targeting R and R-leaning voters. But research has found anti-Trump ads like theirs are ineffective in swing states.
And indeed, Trump won a LARGER % of Republican & R-leaning voters than in 2016.
So why did LP take on this failing strategy?
/3 Because their real audience isn’t Republicans. It’s liberals. It’s people who ALREADY don’t like Trump. They’re producing liberal porn to make money.

When #LightsForLiberty was an idea a few of us activists were batting around, we never dreamed hundreds of thousands would mobilize worldwide. I’m awestruck.
But I’ll still consider it a failure if ppl go home & think they’ve done enough just by showing up tonight. /1
My greatest hope is that every person who showed up at @Lights4Liberty tonight left ready to absolutely THROW DOWN in the fight against current US immigration policy and practice.
And that ppl left with tangible plans for how to do so.
I have some suggestions. /2
Here are some @Lights4Liberty action steps. Cuz tonight wasn’t the action. It’s what comes next that matters.
1) Find local immigration rights orgs near u. Follow them on social media, join their email list, donate $. I guarantee they need $ & know how to use it well. /3
