It’s our last weekend under the Trump Administration!
Meanwhile, the UCC posted a message about liberal churches being under credible threat on their website:
Where did you get this info? I am an employee at a UCC church and (I thought) received all of the appropriate emails from them. I just searched and did not get this. I want to speak to my pastor and leadership the ASAP! But would like to link to this if at al possible.

I originally saw it on Facebook, then confirmed it on their website. Lots of comments from folks asking why churches hadn’t been notified directly and questioning how credible it was. But best to be safe.
There’s also been talk of DC area churches being urged not to live stream this week but I don’t know if that’s coming from officials or just people being cautious.
“ (CHICAGO) Alderman Andre Vasquez (40th Ward) has drafted a resolution, signed by 36 Alders and City Clerk Anna Valencia, calling for John Catanzara, President of the Fraternal Order of Police, to resign from his position following his defense of fascists who executed a domestic terrorist attack against the U.S. Capital building on January 6th with the intent to undermine a Presidential election and American Democracy..
Vasquez's resolution demands
That John Catanzara resigns from his position as President of the FOP for failing to honorably represent the union he serves.
That the Chicago Fraternal Order Police call for his resignation as the Constitution and By-Laws of Lodge 7 of the Fraternal Order of Police bar from it’s membership “Any person who is a member of, subscribes to, or supports the principles of any organization having as its purpose the overthrow of the government of the United States by force or violence”
That the CPD Bureau of Internal Affairs investigate John Catanzara’s actions and their discredit to the City of Chicago and the Chicago Police Department. ”

Thank god it’s not just our FOP (Philadelphia). I’ve always wondered if it’s the gig or just this is an inherently terrible dude.

This article about the unwavering support of Trump lovers is mostly disheartening and expected.
Ugh. I use to live there. We only stayed for ~4 years. I HATED it there. Hated the job, hated the neighborhood we living in. So many old, white, republicans. Sure enough, some of my old neighbors are crazies.

This is the town right next to me. It blew up on social media last week and the fact that the PD and mayor are sweeping it under the rug is no surprise. The MAGA flags around here are increasing faster than our COVID numbers.

When I clicked on the CNN link the first thing I saw was a post that Harris will be sworn in by Justice Sotomayor. 🙂 It is going to be simultaneously wonderful and anxiety-producing tuning in on Wednesday.
New York prosecutors conducted an hourslong interview Thursday of Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, asking a range of questions about Trump’s business dealings, according to three people familiar with the meeting.
The interview focused in part on Trump’s relationship with Deutsche Bank, his biggest and longest standing creditor, according to the three people, who weren’t authorized to discuss the investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity.
The interview, at least the second of Cohen by the Manhattan district attorney’s office, comes amid a long-running grand jury investigation into Trump’s business dealings. District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. has been waging a protracted legal battle to get access to the president’s tax records.

This is infuriating. Yes,he could have caught it at any point while in transit (or at the capitol, pretty sure he was there), but those maskless assholes screaming at him are a pretty clear possible contagion point.

Today in Reports from the Front Line:
Overnight they pulled the perimeter of the Green Zone back toward the Capitol — so now instead of the 8 blocks put it was yesterday it is a much more reasonable 4. PDQ My house is now just outside the perimeter which made doing my errands today much easier since I didn’t have to go through checkpoints or anything. @@@@@ DD9 was bummed though - yesterday I let her go walking around the neighborhood by herself — something I don’t normally do — since I figured it literally could not get safer (no vehicular traffic! Cops and soldiers EVERYWHERE!). She loved the taste of independence and was hoping to do some more.@@@@@
We will see how it gets as we get closer though. They are closing a bunch of the bridges from Virginia into DC next week.
For those who asked: we did think about trying to gtfo this week after the insurrection happened but the logistics are just a pain, and planning last minute is also $$$. Honestly I am confident we and our house will be ok — it’s just kind of eerie.

It was an honest mistake,” Beeler explained after being released. In a tear-filled interview, he said he has spent the past week working as hired security in downtown Washington ahead of the inauguration. He said he forgot that his firearm was in his truck when he left his home in Virginia, where he said he has a license to carry. He said he realized it was there halfway through his trip but that he was running late, so he didn’t turn around. He denied that he had the more than 500 rounds of ammunition listed in his arrest report.
“I pulled up to a checkpoint after getting lost in D.C. because I’m a country boy,” he said. “I showed them the inauguration badge that was given to me.”
A person with knowledge of Beeler’s actions, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the case is pending, said Beeler has no extremist ties, cooperated fully with law enforcement and was cleared from further investigation, except for the charge of violating District law by carrying a pistol without a license.

As his credential was being checked, another officer noted bumper stickers on the truck that read, “Assault Life” and “If they come for your guns give ’em your bullets first,” police said.
