Yes yes yes Teppy Dana sj Amy Susan. That speech (which I admittedly didn't hear all of because I'm watching C-SPAN and the anchor just literally cut the stream in mid-sentence) is incitement. MORE incitement, to violence and sedition.
2021 did us a solid yesterday, but overall it is not impressing me so far. It's fucking terrifying me.
He also reiterated "stolen election" and that he "know(s) how they feel"!
I was in the car when NPR played it, and I SCREAMED at the radio.
He posted the video on his Twitter page a few minutes ago, and Twitter locked it down a few seconds later.
Dear lord this is nuts.
(That said I am not worried about anyone who’s more than a couple blocks from the capitol or the mall right now, so don’t think that’s anybody here)

It's my friend's 50th birthday today. Normally he takes the day off, treats himself to a nice lunch and enjoys the first parade, the one on the streetcar. Maybe would have done something a little special this year on account of the round number, but instead he's locked down at home glued to the news. What a world.
I don't even know what to say, Buffistas, but you are in my thoughts.
I’m at home in Northern VA. It’s very quiet here, but my apartment faces away from the street.
I am freaking out a bit, following the news. “Whiplash” is definitely the word.

While it's kinda minor, I feel a bit bad for Senators-elect Warnock and Ossoff. They should be smiling their way through the news cycle, giving interviews and thanking their supporters. Instead everyone's focusing on the idjits f-ing around in the Capitol building
All of my afternoon meetings were cancelled and emergency meetings have taken their place.
