Exactly right… It’s enraging.

And about to be much more important. As the piece also reminds us,
Federal prosecutors have convicted more than 1,000 people for their role in Jan. 6. Key militia captains were sent to prison for a decade or more. But that did not quash the allure that militias hold for a broad swath of Americans.
Now President-elect Donald Trump has promised to pardon Jan. 6 rioters when he returns to the White House. Experts warn that such a move could trigger a renaissance for militant extremists, sending them an unprecedented message of protection and support — and making it all the more urgent to understand them.

Yeah… that tracks. They see Trump’s re-election as a signal that they are right and should continue building their movement.
But far too many Americans, even those who aren’t right wingers will only see “terrorism” as violence carried out by scary brown Muslims…

The article is worth reading. Fingers crossed this mole’s release of insider info will slow the movement down a lot, or at least some.

Can you explain this 3 year blank spot on your resume?
I hope they’re broke and can’t financially afford to get involved violence for the rest of their lives.

My emphasis.
Something about that health insurance outfit?

It certainly has been in the news a lot lately. Something about um, especially heinous, well-nigh murderous, business practices?

When I read that article the first damn thing that came to mind is: “this should be published on bigger, wider-distribution platforms–it should be headline news” and similar.
I was and still am amazed at the courage of Williams and his depth of commitment. Ye gods. Please let the sunshine of journalistic disinfection quickly illuminate this massive story.
It’s January 6th, today, as I write this in the U.S.
Maybe I’m just a bit jumpy.
Or.
Just aware and alert that history is a helluva thing.

A point in favor of Ben Wikler for DNC chair: this thread on how Jan 6 was rehabilitated due to Democrats not having the media infrastructure or strategy to win the information war. Plus a detailed plan on what to do about it. Contrast with the other DNC chair frontrunner: one brief post
Here’s the thread referenced above:
