This (late) weekly update gathers some of the content shared on this account in the last week and adds a bit more from last week's news that's sending ripples through the militia sphere:
militia.watch/updates/202101…
So the above weekly gives a summary just by some of the groups included in the DC thread from last week, and wanted to add some additional notes:
We now all know that Oath Keepers, III%ers, Proud Boys, America First/Groypers, Sons of Liberty, etc were all present at the DC protest. There were likely more who were unpatched, more incognito, or not a focal point, though.
