A future historian discovers the Insurrection of 1/6/21

The anniversary of the 1921 Tulsa pogrom in the Black community of Greenwood is a timely reminder that, when enabled, authoritarians and hatemongers can and will erase major incidents from history for years if not decades.

That today’s crop of right-wing extremists* will fail in their attempt to erase or distort what happened on 6 January, 2021 should not be a foregone conclusion amongst those of us in the reality-based community. Do not get complacent or dismiss this as too ridiculous to work. These fascists mean business.
