a week ago everyone was talking about how much better 2021 was going to be than 2020 and now on the 8th of January we gotta all mentally grapple with the fact that a man died from tasering himself in the balls while occupying the capitol building
I’m sorry what
fucking WHAT
EXCUSE ME-
confirmed by multiple news outlets: man tasered himself, had a heart attack, and died
seems to be agreed by witnesses: he was reaching up to steal a painting off the wall when it happened
unverified but logical: the taser was either in his pocket or between his legs at the time, because he needed both hands to grab the painting
If your members of Congress are on this list, call now and demand their resignation: 202-224-3121
If these are not your Senators or representatives, then call your own Congress members and demand they remove these people from office: 202-224-3121
This is why we all need to get on the phone right fucking now and make it clear to Congress that we will not stop until this is resolved.
There must be consequences for everyone involved yesterday, or it will happen again. For once, can we please learn from history? This will happen again. There must be swift and severe consequences for everyone involved in the attempted insurrection, from the Senators who encouraged and incited it to the idiots that stormed the building.
I have call anxiety, so I email. Calling them out publically *tagging them* on social media and talking about it with friends and family, where you can safely, cements their names to their actions in your community and will make sure future votes for these officials dwindle.
