Tired of DEI initiatives that are all words and no action? Finally here's an opportunity that actually supports scholars in ways that matter. SHEAR is offering four funded fellowship for grad students, early career scholars or contingent faculty. Details: thepanorama.shear.org/2021/1…

No one can tell me that if it had been a group of Black Lives Matter protestors yesterday that they wouldn’t have been treated very differently than the mob that stormed the Capitol. We all know that’s true — and it’s unacceptable.

Yesterday dangerous militia members entered GA’s Capitol looking for Brad Raffensberger who had to be evacuated out of the building. There were 0 arrests. However, Atlanta Police Department arrested 22 people who were holding a Jacob Blake vigil nearby. ajc.com/news/police-22-arres…

.@CharlesSchwab, will you continue to support Fox News as their hosts incite and spread disinformation about the violence mob which stormed the Capitol today?
Replying to @MattGertz
Now Hannity floats the possibility that the crowd was infiltrated by "bad actors" who might have been "radical left."

I am drawing up Articles of Impeachment. Donald J. Trump should be impeached by the House of Representatives & removed from office by the United States Senate. We can’t allow him to remain in office, it’s a matter of preserving our Republic and we need to fulfill our oath.

I think the news here is that a source close to the White House is in touch with some of the rioters at the Capitol
A source close to the White House who is in touch with some of the rioters at the Capitol said it's the goal of those involved to stay inside the Capitol through the night.
