Michael Fanone, a police officer in Washington, DC, said he was attacked by a pro-Trump mob during the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol. Fanone, who suffered a mild heart attack, told The Washington Post that he was dragged down the Capitol steps, shot with a stun gun, and struggled to retain consciousness. The pro-Trump mob that attacked the US Capitol on January 6 killed one police officer, with another committing suicide soon after. But the death toll could have been higher, with one cop telling The Washington Post that the rioters wanted to kill him, too. According to The Post, Fanone barely survived that battle.

After the violent pro-Trump mob that included white supremacists attacked the Capitol last week, Black and brown people had to clean up the mess. It was "degrading," one Black employee said, days after the riots. "If it was black people, we never would have made it, but I think we know better not to attack the Capitol," a 28-year veteran of the Capitol told Insider. "We're all Black in our labor shop," he told Insider in the basement level of the House hallways shortly after getting his lunch. "I was all by myself," he told Insider as he pushed a cart of cleaning materials.

“He should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding.” “These facts require immediate actions by President Trump,” he continued. A few Republicans defended him, but most others simply argued that a rush to impeach Mr. Trump without a hearing or an investigation raised constitutional questions. With Democrats controlling the House, Mr. Trump is expected to become the first American president to be impeached twice. Mayor Muriel Bowser of Washington sent a letter to Mr. Trump on Sunday asking for an emergency declaration to obtain additional funding for inauguration security. On Tuesday, a federal inspector general questioned an order to deliver the estimates before Mr. Trump leaves office, after whistle-blowers warned that the rush would imperil their accuracy.

In August 1814, British troops occupied Washington DC for two days and set about destroying the city's public buildings, including the Capitol and the White House. British troops during the burning of Washington, DC, in 1814. So many American militiamen fled the field of battle that British troops called the affair the Bladensburg Races, and from that point they met only scattered resistance. So hasty was the evacuation that when British troops arrived, they found dinner waiting. This was not done by British troops, however, but by American forces on the Navy secretary's orders to prevent the enemy from capturing important supplies.

“We are witnessing absolute banana republic crap in the U.S. Capitol right now,” Rep. Mike Gallagher, a Republican of Wisconsin, tweeted to his followers, in one of many examples. This “banana republic crap” is a duplicitous narrative used to distract from the grotesque mess colonialism, imperialism and capitalism sows in countries where U.S. companies have abused workers, displaced millions from their lands and pilfered resources for gain — the real banana republic activity. The list of “banana republic” behavior perpetrated and paid for by the U.S. taxpayers is long, not just in Latin America, but around the globe. While running from the law, he wrote a book in 1904 called “Cabbages and Kings,” in which he describes Anchuria, aka Honduras, as a “banana republic.” The term stuck. It is time we retire the use of the racist term “banana republic” to describe what happens in places where the U.S. has worked to deny citizens democracy.
