Federal officials claimed protesters had shields with nails in them, but they actually just had cardboard. They claimed a protester threw a bike at them, but they actually threw the bike. And they claimed that a protester ripped a man’s beard off but … no proof

When I shared this artice on Facebook, the thumbnail doesn't show the colorful map like here on Bluesky. It shows some dark picture of a woman walking inside the Capitol. For such a great article, it seems like you should have the best thumbnail show when people share it (the colorful map pic).
