“A member on the call told HuffPost that there was an “eyes-wide-open realization” that Capitol Police needed to take precautions against “all these members who were in league with the insurrectionists who love to carry their guns.””

Haven’t honestly seen enough about this.
This past election resulted in some literal QAnon extremists being elected to the House. Others are already there. Congress itself potentially poses a danger now.
Paranoia is *not* a good way to respond to this and takes us into some potentially very bad places, but it’s just true that the call is coming from inside the, well, the House at this point.

I’ve been struggling to articulate this thread to myself and yes, this is it.

He’s been teaching them a language, and in fact if anything he’s just piggybacking on an existing right wing thing that’s been around for a while.
It’s like what Michael Cohen said about how Trump would give you criminal instructions by dropping some prima facie innocuous keywords and a couple significant looks.

It’s a mob tactic, designed in part to maintain plausible deniability when they start arresting people.
For years now the right has been demonstrating over and over that when they use violent discourse, they don’t intend for it to remain confined to discourse, and all the evidence you should need of that is how many people hear violent right wing discourse and then go out and kill.

Apparently other members were just pushing through and they eventually let her onto the floor without searching her bag so I feel like maybe the Capitol police still don’t have the plot
...or they do have the plot and the plot is “security theater to which we BARELY commit unless it’s inconvenient to do so”
I’m sorry, y’all, the fact that Pelosi doesn’t have Capitol police escorting people who refuse to wear masks and haven’t submitted to searches OFF THE FLOOR AT GUNPOINT tells me that she still doesn’t totally understand what she’s dealing with, you cannot convince me otherwise.

Sometimes “self-care” includes a cocktail and a clove cigarette and in January 2021 I’m not especially interested in being told otherwise
My lungs and my liver, they are my business

Tried my first actual ritual bath today—candles, incense, incantation—and YEAH I THINK I WILL BE DOING MORE OF THIS
I don’t care if there’s anything magical going on or not, it feels fucking fantastic
Although in my head I did go hang out by a holy spring with Brigid, she was dancing fire along her fingertips and grinning

If you think the answer to this problem is a new anti-domestic terrorism law and/or giving law enforcement more power please allow me to refer to you the entire history of those things
If you think they’ll be used only against actual violent white supremacists, again: basically all of US history including just now
The FBI already has the ability to go after extremists and there were analysts that were sounding the alarm about white supremacists like over a decade ago. Republicans freaked out and shouted them down and suppressed their reports and nothing came of it.
