I dedicated years of my life to reporting on January 6 and exposing what happened. I was there that day, co-wrote a book, and published a series of major stories on my own, for Rolling Stone, and for TPM.

I hope it mattered. I hope history will remember and understand what happened.

It is hard not to feel isolated as a left-leaning man in lifting and fitness communities being surrounded by a lot of other men with radically right ideologies. It makes me wonder if they are just the loudest voices in the room or if these spaces are truly over-abundant with them.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently
