  1. I'm happy to have reached the 100-page mark for the AP3 second draft. Been working on it for over a month now. Let's hope I can hit 200 pages soon!

  2. Anti-government militia movements have been continuing to use Facebook to recruit, coordinate training, promote ballot box stake outs, and prepare for a civil war that many militants believe will break out after election day. And in some cases, the movement is attracting people who don’t appear to have any prior background in a militia. Meta is even doing the work for extremist movements by auto-generating some group pages on their behalf.

    Data shared exclusively with WIRED by the Tech Transparency Project shows that these groups have only continued to grow on Facebook, despite WIRED previously flagging this lapse in Meta’s moderation.

    The brazen proliferation of paramilitary activity on the social media platform days before the election highlights Meta’s lackadaisical approach to enforcing its own bans against groups it has labeled dangerous extremists. Militias require platforms like Facebook to grow: It’s a tool for the paramilitary movement to strengthen and radicalize its network. It also helps them facilitate local organizing, state by state and county by county, and boost their membership.

  5. "Some far-right figures and conspiracy theorists celebrated news of the new policy in a manner that aligns with a growing online trend, particularly among certain far-right personalities, of praising Russian society and comparing it positively with the US and other Western nations."

  9. "members were debating, with ever more intensity, whether they should engage in mass-scale #political #violence.

    American Patriots 3%, a #militia that has long been one of the largest in the #UnitedStates...

    “The next #election won’t be decided at a Ballot Box,” an #AP3 leader wrote several months ago in a private Telegram chat. “It’ll be decided at the ammo box.” He has said he is ready to force his way into #voting centers...or “whatever it takes.”"

  10. Good, thorough look at the AP3 militia, particularly looking at their ties with law enforcement around the US, their really dangerous (for migrants) work at the Tex-Mex border, and their paranoid and violent vision for November.

    From the article's summary:

    - Militias After Jan. 6: Internal messages reveal how AP3, one of the largest U.S. militias, rose even as prosecutors pursued other paramilitary groups after the assault on the Capitol.

    - Organized Vigilantism: AP3 has already sought to shape American life through armed vigilante operations — at the Texas border, outside ballot boxes and during Black Lives Matter protests.

    - Close Ties With Police: AP3 leaders have forged alliances with law enforcement around the U.S. Internal files reveal their strategies for building these ties and where they’ve claimed success.

  11. They assembled regularly
    — sometimes wearing night-vision goggles in the dark
    — to practice storming buildings together with semiautomatic rifles.

    Their drills included using sniper rifles to shoot targets from distances of half a mile.

    They belonged to a shadowy organization whose members were debating, with ever more intensity, whether they should engage in mass-scale political violence.

    They were among the thousands of members of #American #Patriots #Three #Percent,
    a militia that has long been one of the largest in the United States and has mostly managed to avoid scrutiny.

    Its ranks included cops and convicted criminals, active-duty U.S. soldiers and small-business owners, truck drivers and health care professionals.

    Like other militias, #AP3 has a vague but militant right-wing ideology, a pronounced sense of grievance and a commitment to armed action.

    It has already sought to shape American life through vigilante operations:
    AP3 members have “rounded up” immigrants at the Texas border,
    assaulted Black Lives Matter protesters and
    attempted to crack down on people casting absentee ballots.
