Natalie has a bad case of logorrhea.
The article argues that mainstream media is deliberately downplaying or ignoring shooter Cole Tomas Allen’s reported ties to “The Wide Awakes,” a left-wing activist tactic used by the Sunrise Movement (a progressive youth climate group with deep Democratic Party connections).
Key Claims:
- Allen’s sister reportedly told law enforcement he was linked to The Wide Awakes and attended “No Kings” marches. The group has denied affiliation, but media scrutiny has been suspiciously light.
- Sunrise Movement has long used “Wide Awakes” as the name for direct-action protests (inspired by Civil War-era abolitionist youth groups) involving loud nighttime demonstrations outside politicians’ homes.
- They previously had a now-deleted “Summer 2020 — Wide Awake Actions” webpage documenting these tactics.
- Sunrise’s current “ICE Out for Good” campaign explicitly calls for “Wide Awakes” protests outside Hilton hotels. The White House Correspondents’ Dinner (site of the shooting) was held at the Washington Hilton.
- Sunrise has significant influence in Democratic politics, funding from progressive donors (including Soros-linked sources), and uses militant rhetoric like “Our generation is done asking nicely.”
The post frames this as a left-wing protest trail being scrubbed and ignored to protect narratives around the incident. It questions why the cultural/arts “Wide Awakes” angle is emphasized instead of the activist one.
Overall tone: Investigative exposé accusing media and Dem-aligned groups of a cover-up.
