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.
OK everything got a lot crazier really fast.
Trump lashed out at Pence for not stopping the vote. He is not telling the protesters to leave but instructed them to “support the Capitol police and law enforcement”. Trump later told protesters to “remain peaceful” despite already storming the Capitol.
Ivanka tweeted out calling the protestors “patriots” but then deleted this tweet and replaced it with one saying violence is not patriotic. Meanwhile Rudy Giuliani’s messaging to protesters is to be peaceful and that they are on “the right side of history”. Neither acknowledges the violence.
The Department of Defense denied a request by DC officials to deploy the National Guard. Supposedly it was because they were beholden to Trump and only acted when he decided to deploy them about an hour later.
Guns were drawn by police on the Senate floor as protesters break through windows in an attempt to reach the room. One women was shot in the chest (GRAPHIC VIDEO). It appears she was with those trying to break into the Senate floor. Later reports state that that 5 people have been transported to the hospital, including at least member of police.
Police are making “attempts to deescalate”.
Ted Cruz is sending fundraising text messages to contest the vote despite the escalation of the riots. Screenshot of one here.
Mitt Romney called the riots an “insurrection”.
Emergency procedures were emailed to all Capitol staffers urging them to hide.
Mayor Bower issued a 6pm curfew.
Protestors are climbing all over police vehicles without cops stopping them. Maybe because they’re too busy taking selfies with the protesters.
The potential bomb has been detonated by bomb squad.
Trump is refusing to condemn the protester’s violence despite being urged to do so by staffers which is a stark contrast to his attitude toward BLM protesters. His aids can’t convince him to do anything and the White House briefing room is empty with no preparation to address the nation to be seen.
Only Pence is stepping up to call for an end to the violence and for protestors to vacate the Capitol.
President elect Biden is calling the protesters a “mob” and an “insurrection”.
Chris Christie has been attempting without success to contact Trump and convince him to tell his supporters to leave.
As I finished writing this Trump finally posted a video telling people to go home, but also repeated his false election claims. In it he also calls his supporters “very special” and his opponents “evil” ??

Anti-extradition bill protesters during a mass demonstration at Hong Kong international airport.
Anonymous asked:
Hi! What does the evil law mean? Ive been trying to Google it but cant find any explanaition i understand.
thanks for trying to understand the situation!! the more people are aware the more change will be set into motion :)
the evil law is basically the hong kong protesters’ nickname for the china extradition law. if the law goes through, as it is in suspension right now, china will have control over the extradition of hong kongers.
i have seen people argue that “if you aren’t a criminal, you should have no problem with the chinese extraditing hong kongers!” but that’s not the only thing. china is a communist party, and hong kong is a democratic party. hong kong people are fighting for their five demands because in hong kong, free speech and will is part of their government. but if the china extradition law goes through, they will have a way to extradite any hong konger who has an opposing opinion to them, and add hong kong to their list of communist communities.
the five demands of the people of hong kong are:
there is a short video created by protesters explaining their five demands. their youtube channel is also full of different videos about the protest and versions dubbed in other languages to spread awareness. below is a list of all the versions:
cantonese dub with english sub
there is another short video that explains the situation and what has been happening to the protesters, but unfortunately it only has cantonese dub and english sub right now.
there is a longer video by vox that explains exactly how the law was even set into motion, starting from the beginning all the way to the protest happening right now.
i tried to keep the language simple, i hope you understand now! say no to china extradition and stand by the hong kong protesters!!
We need your help.
I guess I will be taken to prison by Chinese government one day, because of this art I drew, or the things I said.
I am from Hong Kong. As you may not know, this is a special administration region of China. We (still) have our own legal system, and freedom of speech, that’s why I can access to everywhere in the internet without censorship (I get ask a lot).
Recently, over a million of people are protesting against the Extradition Law. It was an extremely-almost-impossible fight and many students are injured horribly by the police force. I WAS THERE.
If the extradition law is passed, which means that China can “took” anyone from Hong Kong back to China as “prisoners”. Oh you don’t wanna know what China will do to those innocent people …
The government is forcing the law on us. We couldn’t do this on our own. We need more attention from other countries. Please spread this message out.

15/6 UPDATE: One of our man just jump off from the roof - he suicided because of THIS.
His last words were “Full withdrawal of Extradition Bill. We are not rioters. Release injured students. Step down Carrie Lam. Help Hong Kong. No Extradition To China. Make Love No Shoot.”
We are all heartbroken. You will be missed. R.I.P.

1/7 UPDATE: 3 lives have been sacrificed. We cannot afford any more deaths. Leave no men behind. Rest in peace.
