Hey everyone! Wow, sunlight!! Being mounted up by these doors is such an improvement. ☀️ ☀️ ☀️

Update: another view and some metadata. So close to outside!

Happens all the time, no worries 😉

Gah

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio meets with Secretary Rubio

Enrique Tarrio and other Proud Boys were convicted of seditious conspiracy. Trump pardoned them.

Tarrio and his men planned the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Tarrio even claimed credit for it, messaging others: “Make no mistake…We did this…”

Now he’s meeting with Sec. Rubio.

The President has made a determination. Answer the question.

They know how wrong he was to do it, and they know their viewers will as well if allowed to see it

And they choose to deceive them instead

Oh, so it’s true for sure

Probably a lawsuit there if the family is inclined

I doubt their deep regret very much

Shameless

“Their heroism will never be forgotten.”

Instead of hitting a U.S. base in a neighboring country or an Israeli city… they missed and hit their own territory by accident. Totally plausible. 🙄

“On behalf of a grateful Congress, this plaque honors the extraordinary individuals who bravely protected and defended this symbol of democracy on January 6, 2021. Their heroism will never be forgotten.”

Yea and yes 😊

"at 4 a.m."🙄

Still, it's great that it's finally up, and a disgrace that it took this long.

You may not lie about this to the children

"We have to pull out the most powerful arsenal in defense of our democracy that we have, and that's impeachment and removal. And we can't wait."

As luck would have it, I stumbled onto this thread while they were posting it in real time. It took them several hours. Thank you for listing each name. Thank you to all these brave officers who put your lives in danger to save our democracy that day. (1/2)

This is a real question. Conspicuous.

They should get a whole wall, like our war memorials

A photo, from Getty, of the January 6th plaque mounted in the U.S. Capitol. It shows the Capitol, then the text: "ON BEHALF OF A GRATEFUL CONGRESS, THIS PLAQUE HONORS THE EXTRAORDINARY INDIVIDUALS WHO BRAVELY PROTECTED AND DEFENDED THIS SYMBOL OF DEMOCRACY ON JANUARY 6, 2021. THEIR HEROISM WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN."

A closeup of the January 6th plaque, from Getty. "Their heroism will never be forgotten," it says—but Speaker Johnson sure seems to want it to be forgotten.

For all things plaque-related, follow @thejan6plaque.bsky.social.

It's good that the January 6th plaque is finally up in the Capitol. But it's utterly disgraceful—just the sort of sick travesty you'd expect from Mike Johnson—that it was put up without ceremony at 4:30 a.m. in a place inaccessible to the public.

It’s possible the officers’ families did not agree to their being listed? Or maybe there is some kind of department policy at play here. Would like to know more, as Jan. 6 cost these men everything.

Yes, I wondered that as well

Thanks, Adam 🙏
