Elon Musk apparently shut down the National Sex Offender Registry. Its website https://www.nsopw.gov/ says: "The NSOPW service is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience." Trump pardons violent criminals, such as #January6th convicts, and he protects sex offenders, as I described here. #politics #safety
"It was supposed to be a defiant return to the Capitol for the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and their far-right allies who were pardoned by Donald Trump for their role in the #January6th attack on the halls of Congress. It ended with the arrest of Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio for allegedly assaulting a protester": https://www.politico.com/news/2025/02/21/proud-boys-leader-enrique-tarrio-arrested-00205513 #politics #extremism #crime
The #ProudBoys have launched a memecoin called "Proud Coin". The members who were imprisoned after January 6th are going to use the money raised to sue the American Dept. of Justice for wrongful imprisonment.
oh, and #EnriqueTarrio got arrested at the presser he called to promote it.
Aaron Blake: "A series of polls show Trump's approval dropping into the mid-40s.
Most of his major efforts (government cuts, #USAID, tariffs, #January6th pardons) are quite unpopular.
People don't like what Musk is doing by about 2-to-1.
And a rarity: Trump's economic numbers are bad." #politics
Just like Secret Service agents dishonestly deleted their #January6th communications, @danwentzel, I think some of them were in on this plot to make it look like someone tried to kill Trump at a political rally. People died at this rally just like #January6th had its own casualties. It is a small price to pay to elect Trump, in the opinion of pro-Trump extremists. 2/3
pardoned january 6th brownshirts have apparently started reading #CurtisYarvin (“america needs a dictator - sorry, i mean 'CEO' - because democracy has failed” is the core of Yarvin’s reactionary position and it’s shared by a lot of the nerd reich like #PeterThiel, #MarcAndreessen, and #ElonMusk)
"I was a #January6th juror. What I learned surprised me. Trump’s pardons of virtually all of the #January6th rioters left me dejected":

Lakshya Jain: "One of the biggest strikes against 'people love Trump's weirdness' is that renaming the Gulf of Mexico, taking back the Panama Canal, and pardoning #January6th rioters all are incredibly unpopular actions." #politics
The Fed may be purging the record of Jan 6, but adding an annual calendar event will help remind me. https://newsie.social/@ProPublica/113957540563141436 #Jan6 #January6th #insurrection

Insurrectionist Kashyap Patel invoked the Fifth Amendment privilege to avoid self-incrimination during legal proceeding related to the #January6th insurrection and related criminal investigations. The Fifth Amendment can be invoked to avoid Self-Incrimination, to refuse to answer questions or provide testimony that will incriminate them in a crime. He pled the 5th to avoid giving the prosecution evidence that would be used against him in criminal prosecutions that could lead to Patel's conviction. This is who republicans put in to OUR FBI!
Why did Kash Patel invoke the 5th amendment privilege?
