NEW: I wrote for @FastCompany about how we shouldn't let politicians respond to white supremacist violence by expanding policing, surveillance, and government censorship––policies that uphold white supremacy https://t.co/oW4QGX5vM5

"It was not lack of intel that led to this massive security breach—it was a systemic cultural and political unwillingness to take the threat of white supremacist violence seriously." - @evan_greer @fightfortheftr https://t.co/eZqUSh8cuh#BanFacialRecognition

You can't fight fascism with authoritarianism. You can't fight white supremacist violence with policies that uphold white supremacy. We wrote about the dangers of responding to this crisis with domestic terrorism laws or expanding surveillance and policinghttps://t.co/AQbE89kpcy

“We won’t reverse the damage done by Trumpism—like the attack on the Capitol—by doubling down on authoritarian policies like #surveillance, policing, and censorship. We need to address systemic injustice at its root.” https://t.co/lH2D5ck0y0

This is exactly right. If lawmakers give cops more power right now they are empowering fascist sympathizers. Full stop. https://t.co/iQaUhFbibe

"It’s because law enforcement as an institution in the US exists primarily to uphold the social, economic & racial power structure. They’re on the same side." by @evan_greer https://t.co/0rIX4zta0D

White Nationalist Trump fan Nick Fuentes has pulled in over $40K through DLive since Stop the Steal began.

I want to know who funds the organizations that financially support the fist of hate. I want to know who funds their media platforms. These are the accessories to murder that should be investigated. https://t.co/3vZ2ZBGXCZ

1/ Yesterday's attempted coup was driven by far-right media personalities like Nick Fuentes, the Holocaust-denying leader of the Groyper movement.

On @OfficialDLive, he earns a six-figure salary, and receives those payments via @amazonpay and @skrill.https://t.co/BOQbHdRo1f
Far-right-affiliated Dlive channels streamed to tens of thousands on Wedss, as did "Murder the Media" a Dlive account affiliated w/ the Proud Boys, a far-right, neofascist organization.
— Taylor Lorenz (@TaylorLorenz) January 8, 2021
The words “Murder the Media” were scrawled on a Capitol doorway https://t.co/gMiHv4r97t
As the pro-Trump mob broke into the Capitol, many were streaming on a platform called Dlive, which has become a haven to far-right extremists.
— Taylor Lorenz (@TaylorLorenz) January 8, 2021
Some even monetized, earning thousands of $$$ as they broke into lawmakers' offices.

Great piece by @TaylorLorenz and @Kellen_Browning about Dlive, the platform white nationalist Baked Alaska used to livestream and monetize himself from inside the Capitol https://t.co/ggTiYNvMbK
— Kat Tenbarge (@kattenbarge) January 8, 2021
Baked Alaska made more than $2,000 while streaming himself breaking into lawmaker's offices at the Capitol on Dlive, the far right's favorite livestreaming platform https://t.co/gMiHv4r97t

As fascists stormed the US Capitol building, some of them were livestreaming their actions — and making money in the process.@Kellen_Browning and @TaylorLorenz explain the far-right influencers on DLive. One likely made $2,000 on Wednesday alone. https://t.co/F16p1WprfL

Some even made $ from fans who tipped them as they broke into lawmakers' offices.

During a livestream, one rioter’s fans sent him messages telling him where to go to avoid capture by the police. They also tipped him ... more than $2,000, according to online estimates. Just wow, from @Kellen_Browning and @TaylorLorenz ?? https://t.co/lLJZOzLLvK

Streaming sites that allow people to earn money have become an extremist revenue source in recent years. This article quotes a Time piece reporting that eight of the top 10 learners on DLive were extremists or conspiracy theorists.https://t.co/EsSXWcCITU

Dlive was founded in 2017 as a video game streaming site, but soon discovered they got most of their traffic from far-right figures who flocked to the site b/c of its lax content moderation and loose enforcement of hate speech rules. https://t.co/gMiHv4r97t
— Taylor Lorenz (@TaylorLorenz) January 8, 2021
A Game Livestreaming Site Has Become an Extremist Haven. DC rioters used DLive to stream from the Capitol to thousands of people on Wednesday—and to get donations from them, too. https://t.co/3692S8WQUn
