on “Teen on Musk's DOGE team graduated from 'The Com'”I recommend Marc-André Argentino's research on the Com; he's a conspiracy researcher who got his PhD on QAnon. He leans left, if that's a factor for you. His general overview: https://www.maargentino.com/the-pillars-of-the-com-network/ That piece doesn't get specific at all about Com activities but be aware that some of the manifestos and other material he discusses is quite disturbing.

on “Teen on Musk's DOGE team graduated from 'The Com'”MKY/com groups. A very evil part of the internet: https://www.maargentino.com/nihilism-and-misanthropy-unleash...

on “FBI: Largest homemade explosives cache in agency history found in Virginia”It's loosely affiliated (or was anyway) with the 764/com groups that were in the news a little while back, and linked to MKY, a Russian terror group. M. A. Argentino has good articles about this set: https://www.maargentino.com/nihilism-and-misanthropy-unleash... 764 members have been getting arrested periodically. One was arrested earlier in December: https://cyberscoop.com/baron-martin-arrested-for-child-abuse...
