One person has been shot and the national guard has been called as protestors run riot. Thousands of Donald Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol building while lawmakers were inside - leading to violence, leaving one person shot. After a group of protestors pushed through fencing surrounding the building, debate was halted and the US Capitol was forced to lock down. Protestors, some of whom made it into the Senate chamber, are now being held at gunpoint by police inside the Capitol building. As well as the one person in critical condition after being shot, Washington DC emergency services also confirmed that at least five people have been transported to hospital.

The Harvard Graduate School of Design (Harvard GSD) will no longer refer to a private residence at 9 Ash Street in Cambridge as the “Philip Johnson Thesis House.” Moving forward, the home, designed by and inhabited by Johnson while enrolled at the Harvard GSD in the 1940s, will now be known solely by its physical street address.
The move, announced by Harvard GSD dean Sarah M. Whiting in a December 5 letter, comes days after the Johnston Study Group, a largely anonymous collective dedicated to examining Johnson’s known racism and collaborative efforts with the Nazi Party, issued a public letter to both Harvard and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), two institutions with deep ties to Johnson. The November 27 letter, which was initially signed by over 30 architects, designs, artists, and educators, called upon both MoMA and Harvard to strike Johnson’s name from all titles and spaces due to the architect’s “widely documented white supremacist views and activities.”
