I was a counterprotester on January 6. Holding an anti-Trump sign outside the Capitol, I was assaulted. I witnessed the rioters carrying weapons and shouting in unison about murdering Congress.

January 6th was not a peaceful protest. It was a violent coup attempt by Trump supporters. Never forget.

Republicans in Congress keep saying Trump "doesn't want to be a king," only for him to post an AI video of himself as king shitting on this country.

In the wise words of Maya Angelou: "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time."

Palestinian children have been demonized, and stripped of all their humanity by right-wing pundits and conservative Democrats who cheered as bombs ended thousands of lives. I will never forget, nor will I forgive, people who justified their massacre.
