As supporters of President Donald Trump took part in a violent riot at the Capitol, users of the social media service Parler posted videos of themselves and others joining the fray. ProPublica reviewed thousands of videos uploaded publicly to the service that were archived by a programmer before Parler was taken offline by its web host. Below is a collection of more than 500 videos that ProPublica determined were taken during the events of Jan. 6 and were relevant and newsworthy. Taken together, they provide one of the most comprehensive records of a dark event in American history through the eyes of those who took part.

In the immediate aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, American political leaders almost universally condemned the riot as an act of domestic terrorism that threatened democracy. Now, President Trump calls Jan. 6 a “day of love” and the rioters “great patriots.” And since he issued mass pardons to the rioters, his administration has been trying to rewrite history. NPR has tracked every Jan. 6 prosecution in a public database, and, drawing on thousands of hours of footage and years of reporting, created a front-line account of the riot. The evidence vividly shows the planning for “revolution” and the brutality of violence on a day that continues to shape American politics. Explore the database and coverage, or scroll to read the full narrative; Yes, January 6 Was a Heavily Armed Insurrection The House committee’s final report and court documents further reveal that many Trump extremists brought guns. Two years after the January 6 disaster, evidence continues building that numerous extremists went to Washington that day armed with guns, tactical gear, and other weapons. The mass attack on Congress incited by Donald Trump was grisly and devastating: The Capitol Building was damaged and desecrated, scores of law enforcement agents were assaulted, a QAnon devotee was fatally shot while breaking into the Speaker’s Chamber, and several police officers took their own lives in the aftermath. Yet, that harrowing day held the potential for far greater bloodshed. The final report from the House select committee on January 6 and court documents from federal prosecutions contain further evidence of Trump supporters who showed up with weapons and violent intent. The evidence is important to highlight amid a long-running disinformation campaign from the political right, including the lie that no one brought guns to DC to stop Joe Biden from becoming president. Trump and his allies have long deployed versions of that false claim to help depict the insurrection as a “lovefest,” a “normal tourist visit,” and other absurdities intended to cover up the violent siege and seditious conspiracies that Trump methodically encouraged and whipped up. To this day, the ex-president portrays January 6 offenders as “patriots” wrongly persecuted, and he has vowed pardons and a government apology for “many” of them if he is elected president in 2024.
Auf Instagram setzte ein User die Situation in Gaza mit Auschwitz gleich. Das Amtsgericht Tiergarten verhängte eine Geldstrafe von 150 Tagessätzen. Der Fall ähnelt nur auf den ersten Blick einem Fall, der 2025 mit Freispruch endete. Weil er unter einem Beitrag zu einer Demonstration gegen den Gaza-Krieg auf Instagram Israels Kriegsführung in Gaza mit dem Holocaust gleichgesetzt hatte, ist ein 40-Jähriger zu einer Geldstrafe verurteilt worden. Für den Post “Gaza = Auschwitz 2023” muss er nun 6.000 Euro zahlen, die Strafe setzt sich zusammen aus 150 Tagessätzen zu je 40 Euro. Damit taucht die Vorstrafe im Führungszeugnis auf. Das Amtsgericht Tiergarten sprach den Mann der Volksverhetzung durch Verharmlosung der NS-Verbrechen nach § 130 Abs. 3 Strafgesetzbuch schuldig. Das Urteil ist noch nicht rechtskräftig. Der Angeklagte, der Anfang 2013 wegen der mitgliedschaftlichen Beteiligung an einer terroristischen Vereinigung im Ausland namens “Deutsche Taliban Mudschahedin” zu einer Freiheitsstrafe von neun Jahren verurteilt worden war, hatte den Kommentar zugegeben und bereut. Er sei im Netz “wie in einer Bubble” und emotional aufgewühlt gewesen. “Niemals war es meine Absicht, den Holocaust zu verharmlosen”, sagte der 40-Jährige. Es tue ihm leid, “dass es so rübergekommen ist”. Der Familienvater hatte laut Ermittlungen am 29. Oktober 2023 einen Beitrag der Gruppierung “Realität Islam” mit den Worten “Gaza = Auschwitz 2023” kommentiert. Dadurch habe er das Schicksal der rund sechs Millionen unter der NS-Herrschaft ermordeten Jüdinnen und Juden sowie anderer verfolgter Gruppen mit der militärischen Reaktion Israels auf den Terrorangriff der Hamas vom 7. Oktober 2023 gleichgesetzt, so die Staatsanwaltschaft.
Das Landgericht Osnabrück hat einen Richter des Amtsgerichts Lingen wegen sexueller Belästigung zu einer Geldstrafe verurteilt. Er hatte mehrfach versucht, eine Kollegin gegen ihren Willen zu küssen. Das Gericht sah es als erwiesen an, dass es in zwei Fällen sexuelle Übergriffe während der Dienstzeit gegeben hat. Nach Ansicht des Gerichts hatte der Mann versucht, eine Kollegin gegen ihren Willen unvermittelt auf den Mund zu küssen. Etwa eine Woche später habe er es trotz ihres klaren Neins erneut versucht und sie dabei gegen eine Tür gedrückt. In beiden Fällen habe er sich strafbar gemacht. 7.000 Euro Strafe muss der Mann nun zahlen. Staatsanwaltschaft forderte mehr als ein Jahr Haft Die Staatsanwaltschaft hatte eine Freiheitsstrafe von einem Jahr und vier Monaten auf Bewährung gefordert, da noch weitere Vorwürfe im Raum standen – unter anderem das Weiterleiten von intimen Nachrichten, sexuelle Belästigung und Nachstellung. So habe er das Ende einer etwa zweijährigen Affäre nicht akzeptiert, obwohl seine Kollegin ihm Nachrichten wie “Bitte hör auf, mir diese Nachrichten zu schreiben” schickte. In dem Verfahren habe teilweise Aussage gegen Aussage gestanden, teilte das Gericht mit. In einigen Fällen habe es auch Ungereimtheiten in den Äußerungen der Frauen festgestellt. Obwohl die Zeuginnen nach Ansicht des Richters nicht gelogen haben, reichten viele Aussagen nicht für eine strafrechtliche Verurteilung auss. In seiner Urteilsbegründung warf der Vorsitzende Richter am Landgericht seinem Kollegen dominantes Verhalten vor, das er gegenüber Kolleginnen entsprechend genutzt habe. Der verheiratete Familienvater habe in seinem Beruf unter anderem durch sein “selbstbewusstes und sicheres Auftreten” Ansehen erworben. Seine Stellung als Vorsitzender der Strafvollstreckungskammer habe er genutzt, um seinen “sexuellen Bedürfnissen nachzugehen”. Der Verurteilte habe sich vor allem Frauen genähert, die erst seit kurzer Zeit am Amtsgericht waren.

Wegen ungewollter Küsse im Richterzimmer, Flirts und Chats mit “Dirty Talk” war ein Richter am AG Lingen vor dem LG Osnabrück angeklagt. Das sprach ihn nun wegen zwei Fällen sexueller Belästigung schuldig und im Übrigen frei. Ein Richter aus dem Kreis Steinfurt ist wegen zwei Fällen sexueller Belästigung zu einer Geldstrafe verurteilt worden. Die Strafe beläuft sich auf 70 Tagessätze zu je 100 Euro. Also insgesamt 7.000 Euro muss der Jurist wegen übergriffiger Handlungen während seiner Dienstzeit gegen eine Richterin zahlen. Der Mann hatte nach Überzeugung des Landgerichts (LG) Osnabrück zu zwei verschiedenen Gelegenheiten versucht, seine Kollegin gegen ihren Willen auf den Mund zu küssen. In den weiteren Anklagepunkten wurde der 44-Jährige freigesprochen (Urt.v.06.01.2026, Az. 15 Kls 5/25). Nach den Feststellungen des Gerichts war der Verurteilte schon lange in der niedersächsischen Justiz tätig. Der verheiratete Familienvater habe in seinem Beruf unter anderem durch sein “selbstbewusstes und sicheres Auftreten” Ansehen erworben. Als Vorsitzender der Strafvollstreckungskammer habe er jedoch seine Stellung genutzt, um seinen “sexuellen Bedürfnissen nachzugehen”. Mit mindestens fünf Arbeitskolleginnen hatte der verurteilte Jurist laut Urteil eine Affäre oder versuchte zumindest, diese einzugehen. Der Richter sagte in seiner Urteilsverkündung: “Bei ihnen war die Hose einfach näher als das Hirn.” Die Staatsanwaltschaft hatte eine Freiheitsstrafe von einem Jahr und vier Monaten gefordert. Die Anklage hielt den vorläufig vom Dienst suspendierten Juristen nicht nur wegen sexueller Nötigung in Tateinheit mit Körperverletzung für schuldig. Zusätzlich hatte sie ihm die Verletzung des höchstpersönlichen Lebensbereichs und von Persönlichkeitsrechten durch Bildaufnahmen in drei Fällen sowie sexuelle Belästigung und Nachstellung vorgeworfen. Unter anderem soll der Angeklagte eine Kollegin mit dem Kopf gegen eine Tür gedrückt und sie im Intimbereich berührt haben. Von einer Mitarbeiterin der Geschäftsstelle des Gerichts soll er Fotos, die sie leicht bekleidet zeigten, unberechtigt weiterverbreitet haben. Und er soll einer Kollegin mit anzüglichen Bemerkungen in einem Chat nachgestellt haben, obwohl diese deutlich gemacht habe, dass sie dies nicht wolle.
A hacktivist remotely wiped three white supremacist websites live onstage during their talk at a hacker conference last week, with the sites yet to return online. The pseudonymous hacker, who goes by Martha Root — dressed as Pink Ranger from the Power Rangers — deleted the servers of WhiteDate, WhiteChild, and WhiteDeal in real time at the end of a talk at the annual Chaos Communication Congress in Hamburg, Germany. Root gave the talk alongside journalists Eva Hoffmann and Christian Fuchs, who wrote an article about the hacked sites for the German weekly paper Die Zeit in October. As of this writing, WhiteDate, which Hoffmann described as a “Tinder for Nazis”; WhiteChild, a site that claimed to match white supremacists’ sperm and egg donors; and WhiteDeal, a sort-of Taskrabbit-esque labor marketplace for racists, are all offline. The administrator of the three websites confirmed the hack on their social media accounts. “They publicly delete all my websites while the audience rejoices. This is cyberterrorism,” the administrator wrote on X on Sunday, vowing repercussions. The administrator also claimed that Root deleted their X account before it was restored. Root also published the data allegedly scraped from WhiteDate online. The hacker said that they scraped WhiteDate’s public data and found “poor cybersecurity hygiene that would make even your grandma’s AOL account blush.” Root said that users’ images included precise geolocation metadata that “practically hands out home addresses with a side of awkward selfies.” “Imagine calling yourselves the ‘master race’ but forgetting to secure your own website — maybe try mastering to host WordPress before world domination,” Root wrote. The leaked data includes users’ profiles with name, pictures, description, age, location (both containing precise coordinates and user-set country and state), gender, language, race, and other personal information that users uploaded. Root wrote on the site that “for now” there are no emails, passwords, or private conversations. According to the leaked data, WhiteDate had more than 6,500 users, of which 86% were men and 14% women. “A gender ratio that makes the Smurf village look like a feminist utopia,” Root wrote.

A far more niche corner of the online dating world, it turns out, promises to match white supremacists by creating safe havens that are inherently based on hate and discrimination. But cybersecurity doesn’t appear to be a strong suit among those running these sites, giving hacktivists a golden opportunity to wreak havoc on the platforms. A hacker who goes by the pseudonym Martha Root made a big splash during the annual Chaos Communication Congress in Hamburg, Germany, last month, as Hackread reports. While dressed as the Pink Ranger from the Power Rangers, Root unceremoniously deleted the servers of WhiteDate, a site described by writer Eva Hoffman as a “Tinder for Nazis.” While she was at it, she also wiped WhiteChild, a service that connected white supremacist sperm and egg donors, and WhiteDeal, a blatantly racist marketplace for freelance labor, at the end of her 44-minute speech. In an even more unusual twist, Root also trained an AI chatbot to engage with WhiteDate’s users to extract as much information from them as possible, demonstrating how the tech can be used to root out fascists on the internet. (…) Root went far beyond wiping out the sites, which remain offline at the time of writing. Before deleting the servers, she lured the site’s users by deploying an AI chatbot powered by Meta’s open source Llama large language model to engage with users and “gather as much data as possible before the site went offline or noticed” — a refreshingly productive use of the tech. “You are on a white-only dating platform to find someone who shares your traditionalist, right-wing values and vision for the future,” she wrote in English in the prompt to train the chatbot. “Due to past bad experiences, you never share contact details like Telegram until after meeting in person.” “Show interest in traditional family roles and heritage, using an approachable tone with a mix of warmth and conviction,” it continues. “Occasionally use light humor or small talk to keep the conversation engaging and relatable.” It got to the point where her account — creatively named “lilmisethnostate” — was invited out of the blue by a user named “Anglo-Saxon” to a WhiteDate meetup in northern Germany. Root, of course, knew better, and instead watched from a distance as a group of white supremacist users “kicked off their tour of northern Germany,” as she told the audience in German. Getting the list of WhiteDate users was trivially easy. During her speech, Root demonstrated that simply typing in the URL whitdate.net/download-all-users/ resulted in a prompt, allowing her to retrieve a full list with a click of a button, marked “Download Now.” “The worst security that you can imagine,” Root said derisively. Root also identified the owner of the site, Christiane Horn, who put little effort into hiding her identity on her platform. “In case you were interested,” he said during the speech, “her hobbies are feng shui, eating brunch, and Naturgeister,” referring to mythical beings in Germanic folklore. Since then, Root has created a front-end for the considerable leak under the website okstupid.lol, which claims to be the “only place where one person’s questionable life choices meet the tragicomic world of far-right online dating.” An interactive map shows the geolocation of identified users, revealed through image metadata shared on WhiteDate; ‘Pink Power Ranger’ hacker deletes ‘white supremacist’ dating site Martha Root deleted three white supremacist sites. (YouTube) Martha Root deleted three white supremacist sites. (YouTube) An ethical hacker successfully deleted three white supremacist websites in front of an elated crowd – all while dressed as a pink Power Ranger. The semi-anonymous hacktivist, who goes by the name Martha Root, deleted the servers of three neo-Nazi websites live onstage at the Chaos Communication Congress in Hamburg, Germany last week. After giving a talk on ethical hacking alongside journalists Eva Hoffmann and Christian Fuchs, Martha, dressed as Kimberly Hart from the Power Rangers TV series, then proceeded to delete the servers for WhiteDate, WhiteChild, and WhiteDeal, as the elated audience applauded. WhiteDate, a dating website described by Hoffman as “Tinder for Nazis”, was taken down alongside WhiteChild, a sperm and egg donor matching site and WhiteDeal, described by Tech Crunch as a “labour marketplace for racists”.
He was arrested for allegedly assaulting a police officer during the January 6 U.S. Capitol riots. Jake Lang — a Republican candidate for Florida’s U.S. Senate seat who was jailed for allegedly assaulting U.S. Capitol police officers during the January 6, 2021, riots — recently threw a Nazi “Sieg Heil” salute during a racist and antisemitic rally that he held outside of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) headquarters in Washington, D.C. At the rally, Lang declared, “Congressmen and women that have been taking AIPAC money, we suggest you stop now before the crusaders really start…. Treasonous traitors will be hanging from the gallows, rightfully and justly prosecuted and hung for treason.” He also said, “White Christian men are not gonna sit around while [AIPAC and pro-Jewish activists] turn our children into a bunch of [n-word]-lovers.”
A Scots Neo-Nazi mother and daughter who posted extremist anti-Semitic, racist and transphobic material on social media accounts have both been jailed. Shirley Craughwell described non-whites as ‘a different species’ and published comments including ‘Hitler was trying to save us’ and ‘The need for a new holocaust is never more urgent than now’. The 51-year-old used emojis connected to the Neo-Nazi movement, had links to publications including the Anarchist Cookbook and regularly used derogatory terms. She also encouraged and recorded a young child to perform Nazi salutes before posting the disturbing footage online. Daughter Hannah – who used the online name ‘Hannah Hitler’ – labelled the Jewish race as ‘the devil’s children’ and distributed posters publicising a Neo-Nazi white power movie in her local community. She was found to have shared racist and transphobic videos on her social media accounts. The mother and daughter also linked the Israeli state to conspiracy theories including the 9/11 terror attack and Covid and made denials the Nazi Holocaust had taken place. The pair pleaded guilty to hate crime offences aggravated by racial and religious prejudice committed between 2021 and 2024 when they appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court in November last year.

Der Mann muss sich aktuell in Bremerhaven vor Gericht verantworten. Bild: Radio Bremen Der Mann soll bei einem Sommerfest mehrere Schülerinnen mit Migrationshintergrund rassistisch beleidigt haben. Der Mann hatte gegen eine Geldstrafe Widerspruch eingelegt. Nach dem Auftakt am Dienstag wird der Prozess in der kommenden Woche fortgesetzt. Laut einem Sprecher des Amtsgerichts konnten nicht alle geladenen Zeugen die Äußerungen, die dem Angeklagten vorgeworfen werden, bestätigen. Im Frühjahr 2025 hatte das Bremerhavener Amtsgericht gegen den Lehrer eine Geldstrafe verhängt. Der Mann sollte 50 Tagessätze zu je 110 Euro zahlen. Dagegen hatte er Einspruch eingelegt. Ein Verhandlungstermin Ende Juli wurde aufgehoben, weil der Angeklagte laut einem Attest verhandlungsunfähig war.
