Non-committal statement by @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social in alt text:
Image is mostly white text on a blue background, with a thin gold frame and a header with the name "Hakeem Jeffries" and title "Democratic Leader" capped by a stylized picture of the US Capitol. Text is as follows: Four years ago, a violent mob attacked the Capitol as part of a concerted effort to halt the peaceful transfer of power for the first time in American history. More than 140 heroic police officers were seriously injured. Several lost their lives as a result of the traumatic events of that day. The thugs who were part of the violent mob on January 6 desecrated the Capitol, threatened to hang the Vice President, assassinate the Speaker of the House and hunt down Members of Congress. They were not peace-loving individuals. The American people must never be allowed to forget the events of January 6, 2021, the lives that were lost and the heroism of the law enforcement community. History will always remember the attempted insurrection and we will never allow the violence that unfolded in plain sight to be whitewashed.

White text on a black background, which reads as follows: The court concludes, based on its findings of fact and the applicable law detailed above, that Trump incited an insurrection on January 6, 2021 and therefore "engaged" in insurrection within the meaning of Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment.

A map of a portion of Washington DC around the US Capitol. A marker labeled "January 3 gathering location" points to Lower Senate Park, across Massachusetts Avenue from Union Station. A second marker labeled "January 4/5 gathering location" points to a stretch of 1st Street Northeast, which runs between the Capitol and the Supreme Court building.

A photograph from the insurrection of January 6, 2021. The picture is dominated by a mob waving various US and pro-Trump flags. The mob is pushing against a portable barricade while a half-dozen police officers attempt to hold it together. The mob would eventually push through such barricades and storm the Capitol itself. Overlaid on the photograph is the following text: When they wrote section 3 of the 14th Amendment, even they never imagined anything like this.

Text on a white background. The text is mostly black, with some highlighted in red or blue. It reads as follows: Donald J. Trump , an adjudicated insurrectionist, remains constitutionally DISQUALIFIED from assuming the presidency under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment. Congress must honor their oaths by objecting to his electoral votes on January 6. Peacefully, WE THE PEOPLE demand that they do. #14thNOW nowmarch.org

Black text on white background, which reads as follows: Call (202) 224-3121. Hello, my names is [NAME] and I'm a constiuent from [TOWN or POSTAL CODE]. I am calling to demand [SENATOR or REPRESENTATIVE NAME] do their constitutional duty and take a stand with their colleagues by signing and submitting a written objection during the count of the electoral votes on January 6th, 2025. This objection can be made on the grounds that electors for Donald J. Trump were 'Not Regularly Given' as he stands disqualified to hold office in accordance with Amendment 14, Section 3. The evidence of Donald Trump's engaging in an insurrection against the Constitution is overwhelming. Donald Trump was impeached for "Incitement of Insurrection," the Colorado Supreme Court affirmed a Colorado judicial due process hearing where the court "found clear and convincing evidence that President Trump engaged in insurrection as those terms were used in Section Three," and the bipartisan inquiry of the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol provided evidence and testimony that Trump engaged in insurrection.

A text-based call to action that reads as follows: Trump is disqualified to be president! Call today: 202-224-3841 Hello, I'm [your name], a concerned [citizen/constituent] who wants Congress to act on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment with regard to Donald Trump. Trump has been disqualified from holding office under Section 3 for his actions on January 6, 2021, and I would like Senator Schiff and Democrats on the committee to acknowledge that disqualification by drafting an Amnesty Act. Congress and the American people deserve an apology for January 6th and an Amnesty Act can compel one. Please use the power of Congress under the Constitution to hold Trump accountable. Thank you.

A photograph of the mob attacking the Capitol on January 6, 2021. US and a pro-secession flags are prominent on opposite sides of the photo. Above the heads in the crowd, on top of what appears to be a cloud of tear gas, is the following text: Deluded by Trump, they plotted to 'kill.' Insurrection was stoked by false claims of election fraud and promises of violent restoration.

A photograph of Donald Trump in profile with the following text next to it: He knew he had unleashed an armed mob against the Capitol and he egged them on, directed their anger at Pence, and stopped others from intervening. It was not a choice not to act. It was a clear, deadly decision to betray his country and unleash mayhem. --David Rothkopf

The 14th Amendment was enacted after over 300,00 loyal patriots gave their lives for the United States.

Will Congress take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion?

Will Congress resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain?
