Month: January 2021

It’s January 7, the morning after the latest installment of “I never thought this could happen here”.

Yesterday, January 6, 2021, gave us images of the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C., being invaded by violent persons who fought with law enforcement, damaged the parts of the building, and even found time to take selfies as they occupied various legislative parts of the facility.

This was all done while U.S. senators and representatives were doing their thing with the electoral votes from the 2020 Presidential Election and later had to be evacuated for their safety

Because of the conflicts, that work was paused until the late evening hours and into the early morning.

I had a hope that yesterday’s breaking point leading to those images and actions would create an immediacy for unity and calm.

I was wrong.
