#PamBondi supported #Trump’s mass #pardons for thousands of his supporters who violently ransacked the US Capitol, including some who assaulted police officers. The #FBI described those involved in the planning & perpetration of that attack as “domestic violent extremists,” whom they had previously identified in threat assessments.

[hundreds of #Jan6 insurgents were convicted of crimes, the #ProudBoys & #OathKeepers were convicted of #SeditiousConspiracy among other crimes.]

Following the #Jan6 attack, there was a wave of #civil cases & #criminal prosecutions that splintered the [domestic terrorist] orgs & sent many members to prison before sweeping #clemency from #Trump. Among them were group leaders named alongside >30 others in the city’s suit, including #ProudBoys leader Henry “Enrique” Tarrio & #OathKeepers founder Stewart Rhodes, both of whom juries #convicted of #SeditiousConspiracy for their part in trying to block the peaceful transition of power.

#DOJ drops lawsuit against #ProudBoys, #OathKeepers over violent #Jan6 #insurrection

The DC AG’s office has dropped a lawsuit against the Proud Boys & Oath Keepers over the J6 attack on the US Capitol, saying in a court filing that the city was unlikely to recover enough money to justify continuing legal action against the far-right groups & others it had sought to hold responsible for the riot. [money?! It’s not about money 🤬! It’s about #law & #order & #democracy!]

We have all of us been warned , time & again. Some have listened, many more have not. Soon , very Soon , The #Earth , our #mother will shake herself and there will be much #death. We here, who know #Compassion will be called to rise and stand together to help those in need. Mark these words - i may be wrong and will WANT to be reminded but, i fear i am not very wrong. As a veteran , i swore an oath to the constitution and people but, i did not need to to join some fascist org like #Oathkeepers or #proudboys - which are False Orders of Extremism - to remember my oath.

I S E E YOU A L L ! May you always find water and Shade by my fire if you come to me

#EmilBove represented #Trump throughout his #criminal #ElectionInterference case & his #ClassifiedDocuments case & has since ordered retaliatory actions against those who worked on the other side of those cases. #EdMartin represented a defendant in a #Jan6 case, personally attended the Capitol riot on Jan 6 & has expressed support for the #OathKeepers militia group. At Trump’s direction, he has now dismissed all of those cases….

According to Nextdoor, shots were fired on my street involving a white pickup truck yesterday while I was out. A commenter says they heard it too, while another thought it was an Oath Keeper.

Not sure about the Oath Keeper part, but I'm a bit suspicious of the MAGA UPS driver down the street with the same color pickup

@ThomHartmann
#TheOrangeMenace has already signed an EO trying to redefine #BirthrightCitizenship, talked about rescinding the #22ndAmendment ("2 terms"), and now want to challenge whether or not federal funds can be used to support religious organizations (of their choosing.)

They cry "Read the #Constitution" when a #Democrat is in change, and race to rewrite it when THEY are in charge.

Those #OathKeepers who claimed to "protect & defend the Constitution" have been bought off with a #pardon.

Today in Labor History January 24, 1977: Right-wing extremists assassinated five labor activists in Madrid during the Atocha massacre. It was part of the far-right reaction to Spain's transition to democracy after the death of fascist dictator Francisco Franco. While the reactionaries hoped to provoke a violent left-wing response that would legitimize a right-wing counter coup d'état, the massacre actually increased popular revulsion of the far-right and accelerating the legalization of the long-banned Communist Party. In Madrid up to 100,000 people joined the funeral procession on January 26 for three of the victims of the Atocha massacre.

Remember, the original poem by pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) began with the lines: first they came for the socialists, but I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a socialist. Then they came for the union members…. Of course, in today’s scenario, they’re already coming for the immigrants, and the trans and nonbinary people. But unions and labor activists are most definitely in their crosshairs, too. This was one of the primary goals of Project 2025. And with Trump releasing every one of the January 6 prisoners, the Proud Boys, and the Oath Keepers, both decimated to near extinction by the imprisonment of their leaders, will likely rebuild, rearm, and gladly act as Trump’s shock troops against activists and even striking workers.

The crazy just doesn’t stop…

#OathKeepers founder #StuartRhodes who was convicted of orchestrating his #FarRight #extremist group’s #Jan6, 2021 assault on the US Capitol, showed up Wed on Capitol Hill, a day after he was released from prison by #Trump.

Rhodes who was convicted of #SeditiousConspiracy in one of the most serious cases brought by #DOJ met w/at least one *LAWMAKER*& chatted w/others.

Yeh, this ought to be obvious, even though the mainstream coverage has been focusing on how pissed off the cops are, and how incompetent this appears to allied nations, and how it "undermines our democracy."

But it should also be pointed out that the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers had declined to relatively insignificant organizations in the wake of the mass incarcerations of their members and will now, in all likelihood, rebuild, even stronger and more heavily armed than before, and start showing up to disrupt and intimidate progressive demonstrations and those defending immigrants, drag shows and other groups the MAGAs hate.
