BuzzFeed’s Zoe Tillman reports on the messages sent from Ronald Tillman, a MAGA terrorist charged in the Capitol riot, to his mom via a monitored tablet inmates are permitted to have inside the lockup. The DOJ is presenting it as evidence to keep Sandlin in custody pending trial:

“I’m doing OK. ups and downs I’m in a cell block with all Capitol people I’m proud to call them my friends. We my stood up for what we believed in and sacrificed. I’m looking forward to being a free man again and hopping my motorcycle and riding off into the sunset far away from people and their machinations. I’ve learned a lot about myself in here. Solitary confinement is very intense. Reading books is about the most stimulation I get and most of the time it’s just me in my head. I’ve learned to be OK just being OK with myself and my own thoughts and for that lesson I’m grateful because I certainly wouldn’t have gotten that on my own. I’m writing a book on my journey and I hope to turn it into a movie. I plan on having Leonardo DiCaprio play me :-). I have so many stories to tell.”

“I got a cock marble in prison lol (google it haha) I’m at peace now and I’ve accepted that I’m here for reason…it may sound self serving but I truly believe I have a divine destiny to fulfill and I/we made history that day and the full implications of our actions his yet to be realized. My bind hearing is in 2 weeks and I expect it to be on the news because I will be making an explosive statement…I won’t ruin the surprise. My charges are pretty serious including 2 assault charges so I expect them to make an example out of me and to be in prison for a few years. I’ve come to peace with my actions and consequences. Josiah ratted/lied on me to save his own ass.”
