The Oath Keepers are an anti-government extremist group whose members have been arrested for a wide range of criminal activities, including the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. This analysis is a wake-up call that extremists are threatening our democracy.

Based on analysis of leaked data, we believe hundreds of people who signed up or expressed support for the Oath Keepers hold elected office or are members of law enforcement, first responders or military. We break down the numbers in a new report ⤵️ https://t.co/S217Bk5nnD https://t.co/1TMS8CVfwT

Okay, so it seems like Ukraine goaded Russia into slowly pouring men and equipment over the Dnipro into the Kherson region via barge and pontoon, where they cannot be easily redeployed, and is now... attacking near Kharkiv

Things are changing. I'd like to think the same way Sparrows used Iran to defined & present new norms of responsible destruction and offense, NATO is also using Albania to showcase & set new norms for response and escalation. Albania might not be significant, but is still a NATO.

Last time the needle was moved notably, was when Israel bombed Hamas hackers as kinetic response to a cyber attack. The follow up to that was US popping IRGC's command center responsible for downing their drone. Now we're watching the new proportionate political response forming.
