Whoever wrote this White House document didn’t really grasp the sense of Douglass’s “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” speech. One clue they missed: the word “your.” whitehouse.gov/wp-content/upl…
Here’s another passage from that same speech of Douglass’s.
And another — remember this was a 4th of July speech in upstate NY in 1852.
Douglass biographer and eminent historian confirms

A new arrest today — a woman with a bullhorn at the Capitol turns out to be a business owner in Beverly Hills, CA who confirmed her attendance by tweet, posted video of herself, and gave a 2h interview about her participation to the Beverly Hills Courier. justice.gov/opa/page/file/… ImageImageImageImage
Two other residents of Beverly Hills (according to CBS LA) were also arrested today for unlawful entry into the Capitol; the couple, delightfully named GOLD and STRAND, gave an interview and an photograph to the Washington Post. justice.gov/opa/page/file/… ImageImage
Correx: This couple was actually arrested on Sunday; the charging papers were just posted.

This is excellent.
WaPo’s video investigation includes a lot of evidence showing the falsity of this statement.
The investigation includes one thing I hadn’t seen before — footage of the QAnon-shirted rioter Doug Jensen instructing the Capitol Police who stood in his way to “go arrest the Vice President.”

“Mr. President, the pillow maker man is here with a document about replacing the national security advisor and the CIA Director and also imposing martial law.”

“By all means, send him in. Get him a coffee.”

The insurrectionist who broke a window at the Capitol allowing a large group to enter was seen at another Trump rally in Proud Boys regalia, the FBI says. Trump famously told the Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by" at a 2020 presidential debate. justice.gov/opa/page/file/…
The FBI has a witness in this case who says the defendant, who goes by "spaz," and others declared an intention to kill VP pence and planned another armed attack on the inauguration. justice.gov/opa/page/file/…
This witness also says members of the group said they intended to kill Speaker Pelosi. (Somehow my eye went right past that.)
