I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day.

Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me.

What do Silicon Valley billionaires, religious parents of six, and eugenics-curious biotech founders have in common? They all want you to breed. A lot.

For the past several years, Matthew Boedy has been working on a book about the Christian nationalist aims of the conservative powerhouse group Turning Point USA and its late founder, Charlie Kirk.

Three weeks before its publication date, Kirk was assassinated.
His book on Charlie Kirk was about to come out. Then his subject was murdered.
Turning Point is "built to last" and "now has a martyr to honor."

Hi folks. Just to be clear, a date has not yet been announced for the next No Kings. If a PAC you’ve never heard of asks for donations to “organize” it, please block and report them
