A reminder that it’s ok to have a day where you do nothing. It’s ok to have a day where all you do is get through the day. It’s called taking care of yourself and it’s important.
For anyone not keeping up, Trump held a rally earlier today, told his supporters to storm the Capitol building with him, then went to hide in the White House.
Protestors tore through 4 layers of barricades and are fighting cops to get into the Capitol building. A possible bomb was spotted and the Madison and Cannon buildings have been evacuated while a bomb squad was called in. And just now the Capitol has gone into lockdown.
But also Pence issued a statement that he is not doing anything with the electors and McConnell denounced Republican senators’ efforts to stop counting the electoral votes.
And as I was writing this, the protesters breached the Capitol and Pence was pulled from the Senate chamber.
Quick yet unnecessary little rant because I gotta express how vexing this is:
Why is it so hard for some artists to not whitewash? Bro it is not the lighting, you're not fooling anyone. It not only takes away from the culture, but the ethnicity as well. Straight up BS.
don’t be ashamed of your interests, especially those of you who are younger. don’t quit doing something you love because some rando said it’s lame. you’ll regret it when you’re older - being good at things is cool, no matter what it is.

via NYPost: Immigration and Customs Enforcement is preparing to launch a “big f–king operation” across sanctuary cities — including Chicago and New York — immediately after President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, multiple sources told The Post.
Starting Jan. 21, multi-day “ground operations” will be launched across cities that have served as safe havens for migrants because the local authorities do not cooperate with the federal government when it comes to immigration issues, sources said.
George Floyd was murdered by police. Just like Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, and far too many others.
White supremacists storm state capitals armed with AR-15 assault rifles and are unharmed. Unarmed people protesting murder by police get tear-gassed and shot with rubber bullets.
Systemic racism is the disease of this country. It must be eradicated. From the white supremacists in the White House to the terrorist vigilantes who hunted down Ahmaud Arbery to the Central Park (Liberal, Buttigieg supporter) woman in New York, calling police on a man who merely asked her to leash her dog.
I’m so fucking sick of AI
