Book excerpt: The Capitol Riots maps out the events of the January 6, 2021 insurrectionary riots at the United States Capitol building, providing context for understanding the contributing factors and ongoing implications of the uprising. This definitive text explores the rise of populism, disinformation, conspiracy theories, the alt-right, and white supremacy during the lead-up to and planning of the Stop the Steal campaign, as well as the complex interplay during the riots of political performances, costumes, objectives, communications, digital media, datafication, race, gender, and—ultimately—power. Assembling raw data from social media, selfie photos and videos, and mainstream journalism, the authors develop a timeline and data visualizations representing the events. They delve into the complex, openly shared narratives, motivations, and actions of people on the ground that day who violated the symbolic center of U.S. democracy. An analysis of visual data reveals an affective outpouring of mutually amplifying expressions of frustration, fear, hate, anger, and anomie that correspond to similar logics and counter-logics in the polarized and chaotic contemporary media environment that have only been intensified by COVID-19 lockdowns, conspiracy theories, and a call to action at the Capitol from the outgoing POTUS and his inner circle. The book will appeal to both a general audience of those curious about how and why the Capitol riots unfolded and to students and scholars of communications, political science, media studies, sociology, education, surveillance studies, digital humanities, gender studies, critical whiteness studies, and datafication studies. It will also find an audience within computer science and technology studies through its approach to big data, data visualization, AI, algorithms, data tracking, and other data sciences.

Book excerpt: "Julie Kelly is a singularly courageous journalist and indefatigable defender of truth. This is an eye-opening and breathtaking book that should be read by anyone who cares about justice, due process, and America's future." -Mark R Levin The events of January 6, 2021, are being exploited by the Democratic Party and the national news media to criminalize political protest and free speech in America. Americans were shocked and outraged to see chaos unfold at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The melee shut down plans by some Republican lawmakers to object to Congress's official certification of the 2020 presidential election results. Democrats, the news media, and many leading Republicans immediately blamed the roughly four-hour disturbance on President Trump. The president "incited an insurrection," the American pubic was told. It prompted a second impeachment trial of Donald Trump after he left office. But one year later, the original narrative of what happened that day has crumbled while hundreds of Americans have been swept up in an unprecedented investigation led by Joe Biden's Justice Department to punish them for their involvement in the January 6th protest. The public has been misled-and flat-out lied to-about a number of aspects related to that day. This book exposes them all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the months leading up to the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, there were reported efforts to organize large groups of protestors to travel to Washington, D.C. to dispute the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. Over the course of about 7 hours on January 6, the attack on the U.S. Capitol resulted in assaults on approximately 140 police officers. In addition, the events of the day led to at least seven deaths. Questions have been raised about the extent to which necessary steps were taken to adequately secure the Capitol Complex and share intelligence information. The Federal Government was unprepared for this insurrection, even though it was planned in plain sight on social media for the world to see. And despite all the military and law enforcement resources our Government can call upon in a crisis, security collapsed in the face of the mob, and reinforcements were delayed for hours as the Capitol was overrun. This book tries to understand what went wrong that day to prevent this from ever happening again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: STANDING ORDER JANUARY 6th EVENT The Capitol Riot on January 6, 2021, was a tumultuous and unprecedented event that unfolded in the heart of American democracy, the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. This historic and shocking incident marked a significant challenge to the democratic process. Here is a well-informed description of the Capitol Riot: The protest began as a rally near the White House, where Trump addressed his supporters, reiterating false claims of widespread voter fraud and urging them to march to the Capitol. As the crowd swelled, some of the attendees breached security barriers and clashed with law enforcement officers, eventually storming the U.S. Capitol building itself. Inside the Capitol, rioters vandalized offices, stole property, and interrupted the joint session of Congress that was in the process of certifying the electoral votes. Lawmakers were evacuated, and the certification process was temporarily halted. The chaos resulted in the tragic deaths of several individuals, including a Capitol Police officer. The event prompted a lockdown of the Capitol complex and the deployment of the National Guard to restore order. This book contains details on Presidential Rally and Incitement March to the Capitol Breach of Capitol Security Violence and Chaos Inside the Capitol Temporary Halt to Certification National Guard Deployment and Restoration of Order Aftermath and Consequences Impeachment and Investigations International reactions and global response Reflection on Democracy and National Unity The Capitol riot drew widespread condemnation from both political parties, as well as leaders around the world. It led to the subsequent impeachment of President Trump by the House of Representatives, charging him with "incitement of insurrection." The Senate ultimately acquitted Trump, but the events of January 6, 2021, underscored the deep political divisions within the United States and raised concerns about the fragility of democratic institutions. The aftermath also prompted increased security measures around the Capitol and a broader national conversation about the state of American democracy. The Capitol Riot of January 6, 2021, will be remembered as a pivotal moment in U.S. history, prompting a profound examination of the strengths and vulnerabilities of the nation's democratic institutions.

Book excerpt: House Resolution 503 instructed the Select Committee to "investigate and report upon the facts, circumstances, and causes relating to the January 6, 2021, domestic terrorist attack upon the United States Capitol Complex" and to "issue a final report" containing "findings, conclusions, and recommendations for corrective measures." The Select Committee has conducted nine public hearings, presenting testimony from more than 70 witnesses. In structuring our investigation and hearings, we began with President Trump's contentions that the election was stolen and took testimony from nearly all of the President's principal advisors on this topic. We focused on the rulings of more than 60 Federal and State courts rejecting President Trump's and his supporters' efforts to reverse the electoral outcome. Hundreds of participants in the January 6th attack have pleaded guilty, been convicted, or await trial for crimes related to their actions that day. Hundreds of others have acknowledged exactly what provoked them to travel to Washington, and to engage in violence. And now you can have this important, historic document in an attractive hardcover edition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The previously untold story of the violence in Congress that helped spark the Civil War In The Field of Blood, Joanne B. Freeman recovers the long-lost story of physical violence on the floor of the U.S. Congress. Drawing on an extraordinary range of sources, she shows that the Capitol was rife with conflict in the decades before the Civil War. Legislative sessions were often punctuated by mortal threats, canings, flipped desks, and all-out slugfests. When debate broke down, congressmen drew pistols and waved Bowie knives. One representative even killed another in a duel. Many were beaten and bullied in an attempt to intimidate them into compliance, particularly on the issue of slavery. These fights didn’t happen in a vacuum. Freeman’s dramatic accounts of brawls and thrashings tell a larger story of how fisticuffs and journalism, and the powerful emotions they elicited, raised tensions between North and South and led toward war. In the process, she brings the antebellum Congress to life, revealing its rough realities—the feel, sense, and sound of it—as well as its nation-shaping import. Funny, tragic, and rivetingly told, The Field of Blood offers a front-row view of congressional mayhem and sheds new light on the careers of John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay, and other luminaries, as well as introducing a host of lesser-known but no less fascinating men. The result is a fresh understanding of the workings of American democracy and the bonds of Union on the eve of their greatest peril.

Download or read book Political Violence Risk Aversion and Non Localized Disease Spread written by Dhaval M. Dave and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January 6, 2021, the U.S. Capitol was sieged by rioters protesting certification of Joseph R. Biden's election as the 46th president of the United States. The Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) quickly predicted that the Riot would be a COVID-19 "surge event." This study is the first to estimate the impact of the Capitol Riot on risk-averting behavior and community-level spread of the novel coronavirus. First, using anonymized smartphone data from SafeGraph, Inc. and an event-study approach, we document that on January 6th there was a substantial increase in non-resident smartphone pings in the census block groups including the Ellipse, the National Mall, and the U.S. Capitol Building, consistent with a large protest that day. Next, using data from the same source and a synthetic control approach, we find that the Capitol Riot increased stay-at-home behavior among District of Columbia residents, indicative of risk averting behaviors in response to violence and health risks. Finally, turning to COVID-19 case data, we find no evidence that the Capitol Riot substantially increased community spread of COVID-19 in the District of Columbia in the month-long period following the event. This may be due to increases in social distancing and a "virtual lockdown" of the Capitol prior to the inauguration of the new president. However, exploiting variation in non-resident smartphone inflows into the January 6 Capitol protest, we find that counties with the highest protester inflows experienced a significant increase in the rate of daily cumulative COVID-19 case growth in the month following the protest. We conclude that the Capitol Riot may have contributed to non-localized COVID-19 spread.
