NEW: Audio of militia members narrating the Capitol invasion:
“We have a good group: 30 to 40 of us. We’re sticking together and sticking to the plan."
“We are in the main dome right now."
"Keep going.”
"...Everything we fucking trained for.” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/13/zello-app-us-capitol-attack-far-right

Militia members used walkie-talkie app Zello:
This fall, an employee said, @Zello CEO Bill Moore "said essentially that because the platform was not legally responsible for harm caused by those far right groups, it would not kick them off the site." https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/segments/how-zello-became-recruitment-organizing-app-far-right

Excellent work from @HamptonStall and @onthemedia’s @MicahLoewinger, investigating how extremists operate on audio channels. Audio is more laborious to track, and this get less scrutiny, than text-focused social media platforms: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/13/zello-app-us-capitol-attack-far-right
