On one hand, these photos of Trump supporters breaching the Speaker of the House’s office and stealing the podium might be funny.
On another, they represent an absolutely terrifying reality that fascists can literally walk into the US Capitol Building, fully derail a joint session of Congress, and march around smiling like it’s a joke because it was all too easy.
Meanwhile, Black Lives Matter activists were met with armed police/military, chemical weapons, bullets, etc. for protesting in the streets. Some protestors were injured and killed. But today, cops take pictures with the Trump coup.
Take a look at this white privilege and never again tell me it doesn’t exist. Utterly embarrassing.

Take notes, news media.
They used rubber bullets, tear gas, flash grenades and physical force the second there was a small gathering in the memory of a murdered black person
But when Trump supporters STORM THE CAPITOL the police stand by, they try to push back but barely. No state troopers, no militaristic police. Just domestic terrorism being allowed
Just more proof that the American police exists to uphold white supremacy and suppress black voices
PSA to my white friends and followers: In the wake of a phenomenally important guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin Trial, I’d like to remind you all that the fallout of this case will likely mean more police violence against our Black friends and neighbors, not less. Looking at the statistics in the weeks leading up to this verdict shows that this is already the case. Police in this country are angry that society is beginning to hold them accountable for their abusive actions, and they are looking for revenge. So if you see a cop interacting with a BIPOC, DO NOT walk away. Video record if you can (and as long as it doesn’t further jeopardize the safety of the BIPOC involved), but absolutely do not walk away. It is critical that we do our part and look out for people, and make cops think twice about abusing their powers of authority and near-immunity to murder citizens people.
Thank god for black georgia voters, they’ve made the next two years infinitely more bearable for millions of people
Black lives matter, and we need to utilize this gift of a majority to encode it into this country after centuries of neglect every way we can
I don’t know if this has been posted here yet but y’know Viking man from the DC mob? The one they are claiming is ANTIFA?
His name is Jake Angeli. He’s a Qanon trump supporter. Here’s that photo uncropped.
And here’s another photo of the “Qanon shaman”
This man isn’t an “antifa BLM” supporter. He’s a trump supporting new nazi.
Anyway
get the fuck off my post
