I woke up this morning hoping @TeamYouTube would have responded about the video they penalized my account for and removed yesterday.

Instead, I have an email that they removed raw footage of Congressman @DrPaulGosar giving a speech.

YouTube, please reach out and talk to me.
Once again, my work is backed up on @OdyseeTeam, so you can see the exact same video that YouTube took down.

The speech was December 19.

While YouTube may disagree with Rep. @DrPaulGosar, my content is sheer raw footage, not stating agreement with it.

Historical footage of this speech is obviously needed. Indeed, @Yahoo has written about the same event here.

@TeamYouTube is actively deleting history so journalists and researchers can't investigate the lead-up to January 6.

Beyond the sheer censorship, what's horrifying here is that yesterday they similarly removed an old video, and permanently penalized my account with a warning.

They didn't do a strike this morning, but if they do it again, I can't post for a week.

If you’d like to see a cut-down compilation of the same exact footage, don’t worry!

I licensed to NowThis, so you can see the same video (this is assembled from all raw video of the event I hired a freelancer to shoot) on their YouTube channel.

AGAIN: I can't believe this keeps happening.

This morning, @TeamYouTube took down the one livestream I managed to take on January 6.

The video shows people at 9am in front of the Capitol.

My channel now has a formal warning that leads to a strike if they do it again.
You can watch the video backed up here on @OdyseeTeam. As you'll see, the video itself (and I in it) make no claims to the legitimacy of the protesters' beliefs.

This doesn't remove disinfo; it only removes a recording of what led to January 6.

The New York Times used the exact clips YouTube removed in their piece "Lie After Lie: Listen to How Trump Built His Alternate Reality"

@TeamYouTube, do you consider the NYT "spam, deceptive practices and scams?"

THREAD: On Saturday, @MaranieRae filmed for @N2Sreports as right-wing group "Patriot Prayer" protested outside the Vancouver office of Congresswoman Jamie Herrera Beutler (R) promising to vote her out of office over her vote to impeach President Trump.
One woman said her 91 year old mother donated to, "loved" and supported Congresswoman Jamie Herrera Beutler (R) but now feels "so sad, so betrayed" because of her choice to vote to impeach Trump.
"Patriot Prayer" leader Joey Gibson spoke about the future of the conservative movement following January 6, saying "God has a plan."

He says establishment Republicans who "pretend to be conservatives" are a bigger threat to their movement than Democrats.

THREAD: About a dozen armed "Boogaloo" as well as two anti-fascist activists gathered this afternoon to hold an anti-ICE "Open the Cages" protest outside the Atlanta Immigration Court.

The group particularly focused on forced hysterectomies of migrant women in ICE custody.
"When I say 'fuck' you say ICE! Fuck! ICE! When I say 'open' you say cages! Open! Cages!"

Boogaloos chanted against ICE before being taught a new chant by an anti-fascist in attendance: "When immigrant rights are under attack, rise up fight back!"
One boogaloo speaker called ICE a "xenophobic agency" and demanded "the complete and total abolishment of ICE."

He referenced Biden's new ICE guidelines, which he called "virtue signaling."

"As long as ICE exists, there will be human rights violations."

I just found out that my footage from December 12 at the second Million MAGA March was used during the impeachment, but misattributed to @Bilancieri.
This is the tweet that House Impeachment Managers apparently found:

The House Impeachment Managers credited @Bilancieri for my video, apparently because he put my clip into this tweet.

Unusual situation today following conservative rally I filmed in Olympia, WA: An armed man wearing a mask confronted other participants of being "fake Republicans" for filming people's faces, which he felt was an antifa tactic to dox people.

They believed he was an infiltrator.
"You're not a Republican" the armed man told Ted Cooke, a two-time GOP state rep nominee.

Cooke retorted that the event called for people not wearing camo and looking "militant."

The two later shook hands and agreed they both mistook eachother for "false flags."
The situation was quite unusual, and is contained in full in the two tweets above, but you can watch it (or share it!) altogether in the full video on @N2Sreports Youtube.

As always, all video available to license.

Conservatives led by activist Glen Morgan held a civil disobedience protest against newly imposed event restrictions at the state capitol building in Olympia, Washington on Saturday.

Morgan says he had to "commit an act of free speech" after others were threatened with arrest.
Morgan explained that the rally would be a perfect case if they had been arrested, given that they exercised every first amendment right.

Apparently though, yesterday they were told by gov't that the rules would be suspended ahead of their event, and for all other events.
Prominent Republican anti-tax activist @eymantim complimented Glen Morgan for the "provocative" framing of the event as "committing an act of free speech" and preparation of attorneys in case they had indeed been arrested.
