MW Monthly: Jan 26


Greetings, MW reader, and warm wishes for your start to 2026.

There’s a lot of news happening right now, mostly to do with state violence. This post includes very little reference to those news items, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t important.

That being said, there are a few important stories from the militia world this past month that are covered briefly in this news round-up, notably:

  • VCDL held another Lobby Day in Richmond, and Boogaloo adherents present donned Hawaiian shirts again
  • Stewart Rhodes’s relaunch continues to flop, despite what you might read
  • Green Bay III% fanboy joins police force, chief defends his extremist tattoo
