1/ Yesterday's attempted coup was driven by far-right media personalities like Nick Fuentes, the Holocaust-denying leader of the Groyper movement.
On @OfficialDLive, he earns a six-figure salary, and receives those payments via @amazonpay and @skrill.

2/ Fuentes' American First followers were among the most enthusiastic who stormed the Capitol Building, and they were egged on by their leader, who livestreamed encouragement throughout the day. 
3/ Fuentes himself was on the scene, but I don't have any evidence that he actually entered the Capitol Building himself.

4/ But his America First followers absolutely did.
Here, an America First fan drapes a statue with an American First flag, advertising Fuentes' stream, inside the Capitol Building yesterday.

5/ And the whole enterprise is being supported by @OfficialDLive, where Fuentes earns a six-figure salary from streaming donations, and receives those payments via @amazonpay and @skrill.
6/ So what can you do to fight fascism today?
Tell @amazonpay and @skrill not to process payments for @OfficialDLive, where Nick Fuentes spreads hatred and Holocaust denial, and incites his followers to violent action.

7/ As we saw yesterday in DC, the police won't protect us.
It's up to us to handle the oncoming wave of fascist coups.
