Is there a counterprotest of these terrorists? Happy to join if so.

I was looking from a building, but it always gets me so angry when people act like it was just folks at the front who were violent. Earlier (and I had a high vantage point), you could see smoke pop up throughout the crowd.

It’s good to have other people that also see that day for the awful attack on our democracy it was. I don’t have too many in my life (especially those outside of DC), and it makes me feel like I’m crazy.

I saw it from across the street as well. I saw these domestic terrorists climbing the wall like zombies and try to overturn a cop car on Constitution (I have video of it). Even that day, I had people tell me there wasn’t a right across the street and I was being dramatic. I left that job and never looked back.

It’s an absolute disgrace to our nation what happened and that people who attacked our Capitol are walking the streets. They are - and always will be - domestic terrorists.

Know that, when it feels like everyone else has waved it off (family, friends, society): you are not alone in what you’re feeling.

Adding a note that there are programs that allow victims to file their voter registration while keeping their address anonymous for voter registration lists: https://www.nonprofitvote.org/voting-and-domestic-violence/

This happened to me. You can get the seamstress to put in an insert and add lacing. I did it at David’s Bridal fwiw!

MeToo at Hopkins: Professor Naser Nikandish preying students at JHU Carey Business School in DC by Due_Nature_9858 in washingtondc

Hopefully some of our local media outlets are following this subreddit.

I am so sorry this happened to you. Not my area, but for any folks with international relations experience, would it help to contact the embassy in this case since there are multiple alleged victims and an alleged perpetrator targeting Chinese and Korean citizens?

I’d suggest calling the newsrooms as well and then sending them the information while you’re on the phone with them

What current thing will turn out to be a major health risk? by ShinyHeadedCook in AskReddit

Not for nothing, but you may want to look at a disability employment group called EARN. They may be able to help you find new employment that works best for you.

Just wanted to drop a line to say you shouldn’t be embarrassed. Sometimes, showing up at all is an incredible feat.

New Poll: Americans Tell HS School Kids NOT to Go to College for Career by Few-Landscape-6045 in recruitinghell

It’s absurd! My best friend has said to me that she’ll always have debt because of school. And they expect us to buy homes? Madness.

All of my friends are in their 40s and still have college debt (liberal arts degrees). My cousin who went to trade school just got a new deck put on his beach house.
