It's a busy scene in Hagerstown this morning as truck convoy activists say they're preparing to drive for two loops around the Washington, D.C. beltway. It's going to take quite a bit of time for all of these vehicles to get going.

We'll bring updates as we can on whatever unfolds.

Good morning from the convoy in Hagerstown, Maryland!

Hundreds of trucks and vehicles parked here overnight, with more rolling in currently.

We are not sure what the plan today exactly is or if the group is heading elsewhere, but will bring you updates as things develop. The caravan appears to have doubled in size since they left Indiana. More big rigs for sure, estimating around 100 of those total.

In Indiana last night, religious fervor dominated a rally for "The People's Convoy."

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita joined the lineup of far right speakers, and urged the audience to run for local school boards. Rokita's conservative activism has proven dangerous to Indiana's most vulnerable residents. Physicians have criticized his politicization of the COVID-19 pandemic.

And his office is supporting a bill that would ban trans girls and women from sports:

THREAD: Since it’s the first anniversary of the J6 capitol riot/coup attempt, we thought we’d put a spotlight on a couple of the Capitol rioters and what happened to them after J6. Special thanks to @jamesstout and @carterhues who did the work on Marnell. If you’d like to look back on some of the rioters James, @desertborder and @waterspider__ ID’d in the immediate aftermath of the coup attempt, see this article. leftcoastrightwatch.org/2021/01/heres-…

The thing about this is people who get “blackpilled” are often really fucking dangerous and you gotta watch them like hawks. The ideologues who say “there’s no political solution” wrote books advocating for blowing up infrastructure and collapsing society in on itself. Image A couple folks on the comments are saying this looks like it wasn’t written by someone sincere which...it’s 4chan. Very possible. It’s likely this was written by somebody either mocking Trump types or someone trying to push them farther into extremism.

Hi everyone—just to be clear LCRW is a news site with a staff & editors including me. We’re happy to take tips from folks who investigate things on their own and often do but we can’t just let people “join” the staff as volunteers. The stories we publish are pretty high-stakes and like any other news outlet we’re liable legally for what we write about. I have a master’s degree in journalism and know how to navigate that. I know how to make sure my writers do as well.

#THREAD #PSA Got word this morning this SF Bay Area Telegram chat was compromised by fascists who flooded it with racist shit. Example pictured below.

An activist source gave me some advice to pass along about what Telegram is useful for and what it isn't. A link posted in the channel was to a private vetting group where folks have to give the admin two of their social media accounts or contact details for an organizer to vouch for them. That might be legit or not. But if far-right trolls wanted to do a honeypot, that's how.

#THREAD: Boogaloo boys are watching the protests in Minneapolis right now from their secret chatrooms.

And they want to co-opt Black Lives Matter to start a second civil war.

Here's what they're saying on private chats just leaked to LCRW. "Boogaloo" is a slang for "Civil War 2 (Electric Boogaloo)." The very online militia-like 'boog' crowd often interchange it with similar-sounding phrases "Big Igloo" and "Big Luau." They like wearing Hawaiian shirts and plate carriers to protests to signify this.

NEW #THREAD: A few days ago I analyzed a thread on 8kun where online fascists were talking about the future of their movement.

The thread continued on. There's some interesting stuff in it I'll cover here.

Original thread here: The thread started with original poster (OP) complaining the alt-right had fizzled out after Unite the Right in 2017 that caused a backlash of fascists being de-platformed, fired, arrested, outed. The OP was mostly complaining about online censorship and less ability to outreach.

#THREAD "Fast forward three years after Unite the Right and it seems that everything that we had in 2017 and prior is gone."

INCREDIBLY revealing fascist conversation on 8kun.

It's also the 1st time I've *ever* seen chan posters explicitly mention 4th Generation Warfare. Some notes:

Slurs are blacked out.

Thread is from 8kun's /pnd/ (politics, news and debate)

Here's an archive of the thread if you want the primary source. Every kind of content warning applies obviously. archive.is/wYCRQ

#THREAD The #LobbyDay militia rally tomorrow in Richmond already had one planned terrorist attack foiled and is awash in disinfo.

It's a little late to do so, but here's my preview thread for what's going on. What the hell *is* this event that might pop off tomorrow? Here's the tl;dr from @IwriteOK's newest article for @bellingcat, which I'll be discussing and linking to later in this thread.

I’m at a talk at UC Berkeley by Andrew Marantz, author of the book in the link. The Chancellor of the school let him embed with them during 2017 and with social media companies as well. I’ll tweet if there’s anything interesting penguinrandomhouse.com/books/562022/a… People next to me are pretty impressed that he spent time with a bunch of alt-right/alt-lite types. One of the people next to me said “wow.” I don’t know why I’m writing this.
