Jan. 6, 2021: A visual archive of the Capitol attack NPR’s Jan. 6 archive brings together reporting, video, documents and testimony to show what really happened during the Capitol riot. Explore the timeline, cases and evidence behind the attack.

We built a visual archive of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, showing exactly what happened through the lenses of the people who were there. In Chapter 4, we show how federal investigators found the rioters and built the largest criminal case in U.S. history.

Headline: Minnesota Officials Dispute Federal Account of Fatal ICE Shooting

This is the current front page of the Times. The Washington Post is even worse. Their headlines are privileging the accounts of the administration with a track record of lying as being as valid as eye witness accounts and videos.

WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”

Make it viral.

Why Your Electricity Bill Is So High How we got here and what we can do about it.

Increasing energy demand strains an electric grid that still relies on aging fossil-fuel power plants. And as the Trump administration cuts solar and wind programs, we’re forced to continue relying on those old, expensive energy sources.

Heads up that this is authorization for Trump to create his own version of the Wagner Group. Which would bring the number of “armies” at his disposal to four:

*regular armed forces (most regulated)
*ICE (minimally regulated)
*private mercenaries (?)
*MAGA thugs/militias (rogue)

All pardonable

BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…”

Read that again.

Trump amplifies attacks on 'out of control' Smithsonian museums for including negative parts of American history Trump, who has been at odd with various cultural institutions since returning to office in January, added that he had “instructed” his attorneys to begin the “exact same process” he has used against c...

President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that Smithsonian museums were ’OUT OF CONTROL” for emphasizing the negative parts of American history, including “how bad slavery was.” https://to.pbs.org/45BJGMM

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.
