Middleboro Review and so on

JUST A REMINDER OF HEROISM AND SACRIFICE ON JAN 6 THAT PROTECTED  OUR NATION FROM INSURRECTION! I’m not a millionaire. I'll be straight with you. Harry Dunn Apr 29 I’ll be straight with you… I stood on the Capitol steps on January 6th. I saw what that mob was capable of. I decided then that someone had to step up and fight back — not just in the streets, but in the halls of Congress. That’s why I’m running —  and that’s why tomorrow’s fundraising deadline matters so much to me. My primary in MD-05 is crowded, my opponents are self-funding, and ads are flooding the airwaves. But I’m not a millionaire, and I refuse to take a penny from corporate PACs — so if I’m going to stay competitive in this race, I need grassroots donors like you (yes, you!) to dig deep and chip in. This race is bigger than MD-05. Every day Trump is in Washington without real congressional oversight is another day he operates without accountability. I’ve seen firsthand what happens when people in power thin...

  The State of our Union is F'd Up Feb 26 I have worn a badge for most of my adult life. I swore an oath not to a man, not to a party, not to a movement, but to the Constitution of the United States. On January 6th, I defended that oath with my body. So when I sat and listened to Donald Trump deliver his State of the Union address, I did not hear strength. I did not hear unity. I did not hear respect for the rule of law.  Subscribe to join me and support my work: I heard gaslighting. I heard rewriting. And I heard something deeply un-American. When you have been crushed in a doorway by a mob carrying flags and chanting lies, you do not forget it. When you have had racial slurs screamed in your face while you are trying to protect the peaceful transfer of power, you do not misremember it. When you watch fellow officers bleed, cry, and fight hand to hand to stop the Capitol from falling, you do not confuse that day with a celebration or a tour or a patriotic gathering. You remem...

History Bends Toward Distortion When Accountability is Denied The Unstable State of Democracy Five Years After the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol Harry Dunn and MeidasTouch Network Jan 6   By Harry Dunn, Former U.S. Capitol Police Officer December 19, 2022, Washington, District of Columbia, USA: Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn listens to the committee on day ten of the United States House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the US Capitol. (Credit Image: © Rod Lamkey/CNP via ZUMA Press Wire) Five years ago, I stood on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, staring down a mob fueled by lies, hate, and rage. As a Capitol Police officer, I fought to protect our democracy from violent insurrectionists and am still fighting today. But now, the battleground has shifted. We’re confronted by those who want to whitewash that day’s horrors, rewrite history, and evade accountability. Let me be clear: January 6, 2021 was not “legitimate political discourse,” a...
