And what role have toxic lies about white supremacy, white superiority, inferiority of racial minorities, played in your choice of a "belief system"? What role has unmerited privilege due to your complexion played in your choice of a "belief system"? And what confluence of New Age nonsense and distorted white Christian nationalism comes together in your belief system?
-
I find that a difficult task to undertake. Smith and Cook tell viewers that what's at stake here are different "belief systems." Well have our belief systems, and we need to understand the belief systems of others.
The question I want to raise here: What happens when your belief system departs from reality, facts, truth — and you want to impose it on me? How far should my sympathies extend then?

"And she’s completely vindicated. Because she had her case on appeal, when her pardon [from Donald Trump] came down, [the conviction was completely wiped from her record]. It wasn’t rewriting history for Yvonne, it was erasing history – as if it never happened. Yvonne feels more sure of her power than ever."
Smith and Cook encourage viewers to "understand" and cultivate sympathy for these women.
-
"She sees that as part of her sacrifice for her godly mission, essentially. When she [was waiting to go to prison to serve her sentence for her January 6 conviction], she kept denying it would happen. But then, when it did happen, it was because ‘the spirit wanted to place her there so that she would find a new soul’. Everything Yvonne did was to stand for the truth till the last breath."
-
An example—former Marine drill instructor Yvonne St Cyr:
"Yvonne [believes herself to be] a ‘divine sovereign citizen’ and that playing into the system is keeping her a complacent slave – and so she stopped paying her mortgage and quit her job. She ended up living in a camp trailer in the middle of a field in Idaho where, in the winter, her pipes and the trailer would burst, and she had no water."
-
Liz Smith and writer Noelle Cook discuss their documentary about Trump-supporting (white) women, The Conspiracists. As it tells the stories of women who took part in the January 6 insurrection attempt, it focuses on "this mix between conspiracism and New Age spirituality: ‘conspirituality.’"

This echoes prior authoritarian “investigate the investigator” moves. Joe diGenova, a former #Epstein campaign lawyer who backed felon ’s insurrection coup efforts to overturn his 2020 #election loss, will head up a Florida-based federal investigation into former federal officials who investigated the many crimes of felon Donald, confirmed to NBC News on Saturday.
DiGenova, 81, who schemed with Rudy, will lead a sprawling investigation targeting people the felon hates, reaching all the way back to a previous Justice Department inquiry into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Fascinating read on a former marine and NYPD officer who got radicalised by Trump into assaulting a police officer during the January 6th insurrection attempt.
Spoiler alert: he's still radicalised.

NPR’s Tom Dreisbach wanted to preserve a record of the moments before, during, and after the attacks for future generations.”

Jack Smith Deposition
What were you doing in the evening of December 31, 2025? Were you sitting around waiting for major news to drop in Washington? I didn’t think so. I was noting the passing of 2025 and the arrival of 2026, as I suspect most of the people in the country were doing that New Year’s Eve. As least, that’s what Donald Trump and the Republicans were hoping.
That’s when the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee released former Special Counsel Jack Smith‘s deposition as part of their oversight investigation into the alleged “weaponization” of the Department of Justice. The committee, chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), was looking into the January 6 denier‘s belief federal law enforcement resources were misused for partisan purposes. Republicans claimed the investigations were politically motivated and intended to interfere with the 2024 election.
They made a big play of issuing a subpoena to Smith, who had been appointed an independent special counsel in November 2022 by attorney general Merrick Garland. Smith was to oversee two preexisting Justice Department criminal investigations into Trump’s actions. Smith ultimately prevailed on two grand juries to return criminal indictments against Trump.
Jordan, who famously ignored a subpoena issued for his testimony by the special committee investing the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol, figured he would expose evidence of persecution of Trump by forcing Smith to testify. It didn’t work out as Jordan intended.
Smith and his legal team requested that the deposition be public to correct what they called “many mischaracterizations” of his office’s work. Although the committee insisted on a private session, they eventually released the full transcript and video on New Year’s Eve in an obvious attempt to minimize public impact. That didn’t work out as the Republicans expected either.
As always, I encourage you to read the 255-page transcript, available here. And to view the video of the testimony, all eight hours of it, available here. Make up your own mind.
While Republicans used the release to highlight what they viewed as overreach, Smith used the testimony to document that he had developed “proof beyond a reasonable doubt” that Trump engaged in criminal schemes. He defended the investigations as being built primarily on evidence from Trump’s own Republican allies and close associates.
Smith was calm, almost boring. He Just facts law. He listed a devastating record and concluded what many right-wing institutions are still pretending they do not see. Donald Trump is guilty. Not metaphorically. Not rhetorically. Legally.
Smith stated, under oath, that the attack on the Capitol does not happen without Trump. Not inspired by Trump. With Trump. Smith was laying foundation. Prosecutors speak this way when they are confident the record will hold.
The deposition also demolished the most persistent lie still out there, that Trump’s actions were merely speech. Smith drew a bright line between protected expression and a coordinated scheme built on knowing falsehoods designed to obstruct a constitutional process. Trump was told repeatedly that he lost the election. He was told specific fraud claims were false. He did not stop. He summoned supporters to Washington. He directed them to the Capitol. He refused to intervene while the attack unfolded. He praised and then pardoned those who engaged in insurrection against the United States of America.
“The president was preying on the party allegiance of people who supported him,” Smith said. “The evidence that I felt was most powerful was the evidence that came from people in his own party who … put country before party and were willing to tell the truth to him, even though it could mean trouble for them.”
Smith repeatedly drew on Republicans to make the case against the man they wanted to be president but who they acknowledged had been defeated. Smith said former Vice President Mike Pence and several of the GOP elector nominees, including Pennsylvania’s Lawrence Tabas, have fit that category and made strong trial witnesses.
“That witness, Mr. Tabas, was of a similar group of witnesses who — these are not enemies of the president. These are people in his party who supported him,” Smith continued. “And I think the fact that they were telling him these things … would have had great weight and great credibility with a jury.” Smith said he came to believe that Trump’s Jan. 6, 2021, tweet attacking Pence while he was at the Capitol “without question” exacerbated the danger to Pence’s life.
Smith insisted he never communicated with then President Joe Biden or White House staff before or during his investigation. He also said the timing of Trump’s announcement for president, his crowded calendar of criminal cases leading up to the 2024 election and the sensitivity of certain allegations did not influence his decisions. He emphasized that he regularly consulted with Justice Department officials to ensure he abided by its guidelines.
Smith did cast doubt on one of the January 6 committee’s star witnesses. The Republicans seized on that testimony as they tried to blunt the impact of overall release. Cassidy Hutchinson, the former White House aide who in 2022 testified against Trump in a dramatic hearing before the Democratic-led January 6 committee. Hutchinson said another Trump aide told her that a furious Trump lunged for the wheel after learning the vehicle he was in was headed for the White House instead of the Capitol after his incendiary speech. Trump has long denied the incident.
Smith told congressional investigators his office spoke to at least one officer who was in the SUV for Trump’s return to the White House that day. “[M]y recollection with Ms. Hutchinson, at least one of the issues was a number of the things that she gave evidence on were secondhand hearsay, were things that she had heard from other people and, as a result, that testimony may or may not be admissible, and it certainly wouldn’t be as powerful as firsthand testimony.”
The January 6 committee questioned Hutchinson in part because Mark Meadows, Trump’s the Chief of Staff and her direct boss, declined to sit for an interview. Though Hutchinson’s story was among the most explosive aspects of its public hearings, the case the committee made, that Trump systematically attempted to raise doubt about the 2020 election results and lean on state and federal officials to overturn it, was the product of hundreds of interviews, many from Trump’s closest aides and allies.
Smith also addressed the classified documents case, saying the case focused on willful retention and obstruction, not accidental possession. Subpoena noncompliance, false statements, and document movement were central to the charges.
These cases died not because they were unjustified. They died because American voters sent Trump back to the White House. As president once again, he shut the cases down.It is now five years since the attack on the Capitol. Trump is back in office. He has pardoned 1,600 people indicted, tried, and convicted for their roles in the January 6 riot. He has posted a fantasy account of the insurrection on the official taxpayer funded White House web site. It is as if we have fallen through the looking glass into an alternate universe. I think Jack Smith’s universe is reality.

January 6 is a reminder of the consequences of weak leadership in those making community, moderation, trust, safety, and policy decisions. Sometimes from people in those roles - and sometimes from the bosses they report to.
Public interest exemptions - and the bending of policy for users with big followings, for fear of losing them - helped set the stage for Donald Trump to ascend to the presidency.

Seeing Things – January 6th Is Still Happening In Real Time – Liza Donnelly
I’m serious today because this is deadly serious, January 6th Is Still Happening In Real Time
By Liza Donnelly, Jan 06, 2026
Above is drawing I did as I watched the insurrection unfold on television on January 6th, 2020. It was terrifying.
Later that day, during a live broadcast, I did the above on paper, from memory, live on Instagram. Police officer Eugene Goodman was the man who stopped insurrectionists from further entering the depths of the Capital; I remember watching him, in awe, and was so moved by his bravery. He may have single handedly saved the lives of some Senators, Congress people and Vice President Mike Pence.
For some years after that horrific violent coup attempt, we were hopeful that it was an isolated event. But as I began to see how Trump continue his election-denying, and more and more people were willing to lie about it and join his side, it was clear to me that we were in big trouble. I saw that what was going to happen was that Trump and anyone who attached themselves to him with these lies, was going to try to affect a coup from within the government. Then he was re-elected on more lies, swindling his followers into thinking he was all for them.
We are living a slow, internal coup right now. Vote in ALL elections, protest and call your reps.
The Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado has vowed to return to the country as soon as possible and she rejected the authority of the interim president backed by the US after it forcibly removed Maduro. She wants to return and hold elections.
Many people in Venezuela expected her to return as the leader of the country after Maduro was captured. Today, Machado publicly praised Trump for capturing Maduro, who was an illegitimate leader of the country following the previous elections which he lost. But Trump sidelined Machado as a potential leader, saying she has no support in her country; a flat out lie. She is hugely popular. Some are suggesting that because Machado was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize last year (for her opposition work against Maduro), and Trump desperately wanted to get it, that his ego will not let her return to the country. Trump wants to run Venezuela, and hopes to threaten those in power now to do what he wants. He probably thinks that Machado is not someone he can trust to do his bidding.
There was a briefing yesterday for the Congressional Gang of Four about the Venezuela military action. It left members with more questions, and we don’t know yet what those opposed to Trump’s warmongering will do.
“This business of coming over and just talking to some of us, I think is a special kind of stupid,” Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) said in an interview Monday. “They need to sit down with every member of the Senate and explain what’s going on.”
As that briefing was going on, Trump advisor Stephen Miller was on CNN in an interview was at times very contentious, Miller yelling at Tapper, and saying some outrageous things. The premise of his comments were that the United States has the right, because of the fact that we are a superpower, to take over countries in the Western Hemisphere for our security. Power over diplomacy.
Below is a clip that will show you, as well as the full exchange. Miller stated that we have “a right to Greenland.” Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark urged Mr. Trump on Sunday to “stop the threats” to annex Greenland, in effect attacking a NATO ally.
Miller:
“We live in a world, in the real world, Jake, that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.”
“We set the terms and conditions,” Mr. Miller said. “We have a complete embargo on all of their oil and their ability to do commerce. So for them to do commerce, they need our permission. For them to be able to run an economy, they need our permission. So the United States is in charge. The United States is running the country.”
“The future of the free world depends on America being able to assert ourselves and our interests without apology. This whole period that happened after World War II when the United States began apologizing, groveling and begging…” then Jake Tapper cut him off saying “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“You’re looking at it the wrong way Jake. This neoliberalism idea that the United states should go around the world demanding elections everywhere!”

The Pentagon moved to punish retired Navy captain and Senator Mark Kelly for an “anti-Trump video” he was a part of (it was not anti-Trump), calling it “seditious behavior.” They want to cut his military pay of $6000/month.
“Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way,” Kelly said. “It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that.”
