If you're at all surprised by what's happening now, you haven't been paying attention for a long, long time.

White people are storming the Capitol Building to support a white nationalist president and many people are saying: “If Black people did that...”

Suspended from all social media, @realDonaldTrump is currently ranting about Mitt Romney on an Amazon customer review page for dress socks.

I have received so much anger from old friends at NPR and the NYT for warning them, telling them, and, yes, sometimes publicly tweeting about how their coverage is normalizing Trump and his followers, legitimizing their lies and downplaying the crisis.

A reminder that Trump’s fake news tactics have been drawing admiring glances from this side of the Atlantic https://t.co/2bZ1ZF11mC

A lot of white folk apparently just believe that minorities and particularly black people are just exaggerating for effect when they've spoken, at length, with considerable evidence, multiple times, about how bad and universal the problem is, and it just seems like wilful denial.

I hate to say it but perhaps the far right dipshits who stormed the US Capitol yesterday noticed that when they previously came to DC the police always faced their political enemies in the streets.

As a left-wing journalist beaten up by a far right extremist - who is currently serving a 2 year 8 month sentence - which was the culmination of a concerted (and never ending) far right campaign, watching commentators equate the left with yesterday's fascist mob is nauseating.

My son’s DC school announced a two-hour delay because of the unrest. The administrators weren’t playing around with the language on this one. pic.twitter.com/YG0H0g0OFB
