When they eventually erect their Ashli Babbitt statue in the Capitol, it's going to be awkward that my book The Undertow inclues the first and to-date fullest biography of their hero. (In the book, a J6 lawyer predicts the statue, & calls for a holiday.) www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
This elevation of a J6 mobster is disgusting on so many levels.
The shitty poetry of political mourning on display as the flags go to halfmast for the MN shooting as this assholes flag so to speak gets double height, jumbo sized unfurling. I know halfmast is supposed to be respectful but it feels like the flag retreating to make way for babbits "martyrd" hoorah
That is scary!!
It’s Opposite Day everyday now.
What is it they say about the victors writing history?
Just another statue of a fucking TRAITOR WHO GOT WHAT SHE DESERVED that needs to come down.
Sadly there weren’t a lot more Ashli Babbits put into the ground that day. Fucking traitors!

This whole thing is so disgusting. Where the fuck do we go from here?
Revolution?

It blows my mind daily that the coverage of every new authoritarian power grab doesn’t provide the context that this is the same guy who *tried to violently overthrow the government* the last time he was in charge
Hey… they built statues and named Military installations after the Confederate traitors to the Country. This is very on brand.
As an AF veteran, this pisses me off to no end.

She really is the MAGA movement's Horst Wessel.
I came here looking for your take on the farce, given your writing about her. Your book about the slow civil war will help historians put this in context. If we have historians in the future

We can put her statue right next to the Lee Harvey Oswald monument.
Ask any MAGA person what they would do if someone was climbing through their window and they had a gun. Give me a break!
Presumably this event is why the USAF chief of staff recently retired.
This is insane. Fealty to the leader is the only value. Nothing else
SHAMEFUL!
Shame on the USAF. This stain will go down in history.
They should have dealt with more of them this way.
Military members, refuse to participate. This is obscene.
