You have members of Congress, and staffers reporting the following:
Panic buttons were removed from @RepPressley offices rendering her staff helpless
bostonglobe.com/2021/01/13/nat…
@RepSherrill saying that she saw @GOP members giving reconnaissance tours to terrorists the day before the attack
thedailybeast.com/mikie-sherrill…
A terrorist organizer (Don't know WHY @azcentral refers to him as an 'activist') says @RepGosar @RepMoBrooks @RepAndyBiggsAZ were actively helping in the #insurrection azcentral.com/story/opinion/…
And finally, for now, contact information for two of @tedcruz Senate offices was found scribbled on a piece of paper from a terrorist carrying molotov cocktails and weapons talkingpointsmemo.com/news/cruz-cont…
There's no "unity" to be had here folks. This is what's been discovered in the last week alone. It was a wide-spread well organized coup attempt with members of @SenateGOP @HouseGOP implicated as conspirators in the effort. Any other description is dangerous and dishonest

When government institutions, either through incompetence or intention fail to properly apply laws and provide for the people the private sector steps in. If Congress, and law enforcement had held Trump accountable a social media ban wouldn't be necessary
Why is this important? Because big social media sites are almost public utilities at this point. Trump has clearly violated rules for Twitter & Facebook, but the time it took to ban him is a reminder that these companies wield tremendous and occasionally arbitrary power
The consequences of breaking rules of conduct on social media are not applied equally or consistently. So forgive me if I don't cheer when it finally happens. These bans amount to taking a gun away from a mass shooter, when they're down to their last 12 bullets

@KamalaHarris said racism was a national security issue. She was absolutely correct and we're seeing that play out both in today's coup attempt and the complicity of many police caught on camera aiding and abetting the coup. But there's a more obvious indicator....
Arrests... 127 arrested after #BlackLivesMatter protests over #BreonnaTaylor in Louisville. Good found a way to snatch and physically harm more than that... Image
Over 165 people protesting #jamesblake being shot 7 times in the back by a cop were arrested in Kenosha. In only a day or two of protests Image

"He/She/They are better than the terrible person Trump had in the position before" is NOT a rationale for being complacent about any cabinet picks by in the incoming Biden administration. In fact that attitude could lead to major electoral backlash in 2022 and 2024
Unless they are demonstrably corrupt or have a history of breaking the law, I generally feel that an incoming administration should be able to pick their team. The public has the right to see the White House rise or fail with their full squad.
There were Trump picks that were TERRIBLE, Betsy DeVos being a prime example. But he had a right to pick her, and Democrats at least put up a fight because they knew she'd be terrible

Polling has consistently showed that African Americans are more skeptical of taking the #Covid_19 vaccine than other groups of people in America, but the reasons for this aren't just based on "older" instances of poor medical care. A thread.... fiercepharma.com/marketing/blac…
Yes there were the #TuskegeeUniversity Experiments with syphilis (1932- 1972) where African Americans were denied care so that a majority white healthcare system could 'learn' about the disease, but you don't have to go back that far en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_…
In the early 90's Maryland's government had serious discussions about forcing black women and girls on public assistance to take the birth control implant Norplant. Many took or were coerced into doing so without full understanding of the implications thecrimson.com/article/1993/2…

Democrats have often failed to address the needs of their most important base of voters : African Americans, so when organic black centered movements like #BlackLivesMatter and #DefundThePolice arise Dems fail to act which makes it easier for Republicans to define the issue
Remember "progressive" candidates like Sanders and moderates like Clinton were essentially saying "All Lives Matter" throughout much of the 2016 campaign
vox.com/2015/7/20/9001…
So when even the 'progressive' wing of the party ignores or dismisses discussions of reparations and #BlackLivesMatter for YEARS and now in 2020 #DefundThePolice it's not hard to see why there are challenges engaging young black voters and activists

The amount of violence and intimidation going on before election day is enough of a sign that Trumpism can't be defeated at the ballot box, but it's the small examples of intimidation that aren't caught by the news that concern me as well : A story from a friend in Nashville....
Friend of mine texted to tell me that for weeks in her suburban Nashville neighborhood two white men in a pick-up truck have been driving through the community and taking #BlackLivesMatter and #BidenHarris signs off of people's yards
At first I doubted this, thinking "Maybe this was just a few jerks who were taking down signs" but she showed me several screenshots of her community bulletin board of people photographing these men driving through and taking down signs.
