“I recommend a film by Nick Quested who spent months before January 6 embedded with the fascist paramilitary Proud Boys, recording significant evidence that the coup was planned for months in advance with the involvement of the White House. (His material was so damning he was called to testify before the House committee.)

The documentary, 64 Days: The Insurrection Playbook didn’t get wide release and isn’t being promoted by big streamers. But you can watch it here 64daysfilm.com - At the premiere in Manhattan, Quested said the experience of January 6, 2021, left him so shaken he was ill for weeks after. “Most shocking was that these groups said exactly what they would do and then they did it,” Quested concluded.

I also recommend some of the writing published today: John Ganz here on the decisiveness of Trump’s success and David Frum on the silencing and memory hole into which the Washington establishment wants to drop the coup now that it must do business with Trump 2.0.” -Nina Burleigh
