Walk Away founder @BrandonStraka described his January 6 experience. He was initially charged with two felonies and a misdemeanor, but ultimately pled down to a misdemeanor.
He describes being evicted from his apartment and deplatformed from digital services in the aftermath. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Sarah McAbee @TheRealJ6Bae testified about her husband Ronald Colton McAbee, a sheriff's deputy charged with fighting police on January 6.
She says he's been moved several times from jail to jail, and has had week-long stretches of solitary confinement.
Former underwear model @TheJohnStrand, who is soon to begin a 32 month prison sentence for January 6, says he was there only as security for Simone Gold, who herself has served 60 days.
Following his conviction at trial, the judge apparently condemned him over public comments he… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
A point of difference between some participants in the J6 Field Hearing was over whether the full January 6 footage should be released to the public.
(In full disclosure, as a primary source documentarian, I have openly advocated the full release.)
Congresswoman @RepMTG says "January 6 tapes, if they were to get out - and I support releasing them - I've said it all along. But if they do get out, Sedition Hunters will come."
"I know that everybody can look at it and say 'we all know who everyone is now' but at the same… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Rep Greene invited @TaylerUSA Hansen to speak, who describes confusion as riot munitions hurt people further back in the crowd from the frontline on January 6.
Hansen says he recognized a woman there from Portland "affiliated with Antifa."
On the full release of the J6 tapes, Congressman @DrPaulGosar says "A picture is worth a thousand words."
"They're all going to come after us regardless, so it seems to me like we aught to be making this big push and maybe turn the tide."
"The videotapes gotta come out."
As the J6 Field Hearing ended, @BrandonStraka testified to another grievance:
He describes that he believes J6 defendants should have their case jurisdiction released from DC, but also sentencing jurisdiction, meaning probation is overseen by DC judges rather than home state.
"We're trying to correct history" @mattgaetz said in a brief press gaggle afterwards.
I asked about whether Rep Gaetz and @RepMTG would push @SpeakerMcCarthy to release the J6 tapes to the public as promised.
VIDEO THREAD: "Queers love Palestine! HRC loves the war machine!"
Protesters rallied against the Human Rights Campaign dinner tonight featuring Tim Walz in DC to condemn their relationship with weapons manufacturers, which they say enable genocide.
"We're not interupting!" they chanted. "Pink washing is disgusting!"
2) Protesters put red paint on their hands to symbolize what they say is the Human Rights Campaign's support for the killing of Palestinians.
"HRC is using our name to pinkwash an administration committing genocide, burning children under rubble but those children are not human enough for the Human Rights campaign, shame!"
3) "We are here, we are queer! Zionists not welcome here!"
Protesters banged on the windows overlooking the escalator and lobby that HRC guests went through to get to the gala with Tim Walz.
Police stepped in, forcing them away from the glass.
This is my 4K footage of how the violence outside the United States Capitol began today.
You can see the first mace deployed (over the heads of officers, toward the activists) which angers the pro-Palestine crowd, who begins throwing water bottles as officers continue using mace.
A little over a minute into the clip is a flash grenade, one of only a couple I saw used today.
My understanding is this occurred after Netanyahu arrived but before he spoke to Congress.
2) As police engaged the crowd, a man scolded police and was maced as well.
The crowd continued marching, taking a wider route around the Capitol and avoiding most confrontations during the march itself.
3) "Smack Netanyahu in the head with that billy club!"
Activists continued a wide march around the United States Capitol from the West side to the East side clockwise.
Some pro-Israel, anti-Netanyahu activists stood along the path and were mostly ignored. Police blocked off streets heading close to the Capitol complex.
VIDEO THREAD: Protesters gathered Tuesday night in front of the Watergate Hotel (the second night in a row) for a noise demonstration against Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, who is staying inside.
"From DC to Palestine, Netanyahu's out of time!" chanted protesters using red and green smoke bombs. "Shut, shut, shut it down, no Zionism in this town!"
2) "Allahu Akbar! Hamas!" yelled one man through the fencer outside the Watergate at Israel supporters counter-protesting them from inside.
"Jewish motherf***ers!" he yelled. "We're gonna kill all of you!"
"We're gonna burn you!"
It should be noted that it was one lone individual, not the wider protest, using this specific rhetoric.
3) One man dawning an Israeli flag confronted the pro-Palestine protesters directly outside the Watergate.
"You're a coward, you should join the IDF and kill kids yourself, because you're a p***y," he was told.
The man says he's from Jerusalem, but he donates, rather than being in the IDF.
VIDEO THREAD: Police clashed with pro-Palestine protesters Friday night in New York City as President Biden visited Stonewall for an "LGBTQ+ Gala" and protesters demanded "No war criminals at pride!"
All video in thread by @olgafe_images for @N2Sreports
2) NYPD's Strategic Response Group forcefully pushed back pro-Palestine activists and made several arrests throughout the evening both attempting to keep protesters away from the event featuring President Biden and off of the streets.
3) Pro-Palestine protesters trying to reach the Biden event ran through the James A. Farley Building, but encountered both police and Israel supporters when they exited.
THREAD: The FBI, relying on the work of a paid Confidential Human Source "CHS" who surveilles from his own vendor booth at gun shows, and an additional undercover agent, have arrested Mark Adams Prieto, who they charge with trafficking firearms and say planned a mass shooting.
2) The feds say Prieto came to their attention in October 2023, when a paid CHS who had talked to Prieto 15 times in the past, "began making suspicious and alarming comments, including advocating for a mass shooting, and specifically targeting “blacks, Jews, or Muslims.”
3) At a January 20-21, 2024 gun show, the feds say Prieto was introduced to an undercover agent at the CHS's vendor booth.
By the second day, Prieto was allegedly sharing details about a planned mass shooting attack against a rap concert to kill Black people.
