One year later...

It seems like yesterday that Trump supporters were breaking into the Capitol to overthrow an election….beating police officers as they went.....all on live TV.....with Rambo and Confederate flags waving.....adorned in MAGA gear and the occasional Viking helmet...and all the while helpfully recording themselves, just in case the authorities might have a hard time identifying who there were later. I was sitting in this room, on this chair, when I got an IM from a co-worker. "Turn on the TV", he said. "You're not gonna believe this." I think the first image I saw was a guy climbing almost vertically, like Spider-Man, up the outside walls of the building....being cheered on by the ones who, presumably, already made the climb. I was impressed by the effort. They could have simply taken the stairs like everybody else.

One year ago. Crazy.
