Yes, It’s a Coup and Yes, It’s Targeting You

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.

When the Confederacy lost the Civil War, it took control of the narrative to make its supporters seem like heroes and patriots. The January 6 coup participants did the same. There must be someone writing on this.

As we approach Jan 6, I had a discussion with officers Michael Fanone, and Harry Dunn, about that day, the conspiracies that won’t die, and the way forward. Although my audio is horrible, theirs is great. Take a listen and click to watch:

It's okay if your only real goal for 2025 is getting through. I hope you can reach for more, but if not, you don't have to feel guilty or unworthy.
