More citizen journalists posting on Twitter about today. Eerie how few LEO are there to protect our lawmakers. If this had been a left wing insurrection there would have been military deployed. Interesting how the MAGA are not really considered threats. Portland has seen more militarized police action for asking that Black Lives Matter than these people who are trying to actively take the Congress. https://twitter.com/igorbobic/status/1346900359353163779?s=21

Some sort of gas has been set off. I’m not sure by whom. Police seem to be trying to deescalate and talk to them.

NBC news is actively talking about how secure the situation currently is, saying everyone is ok, which is not matching the other narratives we are receiving from MPD, Social Media, and ground sources
#Stream Right wing protesters fully occupied the Capitol, joking about where they are going to sleep, while Congress is in hiding in an undisclosed location. No evidence of cops or national guard in the Capitol, no tear gas, just lots of maskless people chanting USA. Meanwhile someone was taken out on a stretcher covered in blood, CPR commencing.
We are a broken country.
