Our democracy held. We the people endured. We the people prevailed.

One year ago, our democracy was attacked and our Constitution faced the gravest of threats. But We the People prevailed.

Now, it’s up to us to choose what kind of nation we’re going to be. pic.twitter.com/gqg3BT3vw1

"One year ago today in this sacred place, democracy was attacked -- simply attacked. The will of the people was under assault, the Constitution -- our Constitution -- faced the gravest of threats. Outnumbered in the face of a brutal attack, the Capitol police, the DC Metropolitan Police Department, the National Guard and other brave law enforcement officials saved the rule of law. Our democracy held. We the people endured. We the people prevailed."- President Biden

You can’t love your country only when you win.

You can't obey the law only when it's convenient.

You can't be patriotic when you embrace or enable lies.

— President Biden (@POTUS) January 6, 2022

Last year, for the first time in our history, a president who just lost an election tried to prevent the peaceful transfer of power as a violent mob breached the Capitol.

But they failed.

And on this day of remembrance we must make sure that such an attack never happens again.

Tune in as I deliver remarks to mark one year since the January 6th deadly assault on the Capitol. https://t.co/nvklC2pgl8

On #January6th, the former President incited his supporters who used violence to try to nullify the election. His supporters assaulted 140 police officers in an attempt to keep the former President in power.

Those who continue to deny these facts are cowards and traitors. https://t.co/nvSkYQmHhK

Washington Post Super Bowl Message

by Gregg Chadwick

As an LA rams fan since I was a kid, I was disappointed in yesterday's game. But the telecast was enlivened with a powerful pro-journalism statement from The Washington Post.
