In today’s letters (1/14), Christopher and Deb Michaels argue that we should “practice forgiveness” with the seditious rabble that invaded the Capitol.
No. No forgiveness. We tried this 155 years ago with the seditious traitors of the Confederacy, and the result was Jim Crow and a century of more white supremacy. This stops now. These people must be driven out of civic life and back under the rocks from which they oozed. Today’s traitors must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, as should their enablers in the Senate and the House.
These people know nothing of goodwill. Their faith is always bad faith. They cannot be trusted, and should never be trusted.

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
