#JamieRaskin: #Jan6 Never Ended

…5 years after Jan 6, 2021, we are still caught up in a struggle between forces who are willing to use #authoritarian #violence outside the #Constitution to take & wield power & those who stand up nonviolently for our Constitution in the streets & in the polling places.

It’s still very much Jan 6 in #America.
