Just got a report from the Sergeant at Arms office at the US capital. Trump
supporters place fake explosives around the city to use as a distraction to
capital police. They stormed the capital building and shot tear gas and
gasoline bombs at capital police and broke into the Senate chamber with buts of
rifles. This was a well-coordinated attack. The remainder of the protestors are
blocking access to the capital so that police, fire department and EMS cannot
get near it.

Subject: [blind-democracy] Hasn't happened since 1814
The US Capital building and the senate chamber has been breached. As we speak
Trump supporters have broken into the senate chamber and are ripping it apart.
Some members of the press have been attacked as well. All congress members and
staff have ben told to put on their gas masks and barricade themselves in their
offices. No foreign enemy has broached our democracy since the war of 1812
(took place in 1814), but we have done it now to ourselves. We have seen the
enemy and the enemy is us.
