The word friends used to describe convenience store worker and part-time DJ Matthew Allison: Goofy. This @ProPublica report explains how he was also a key figure in Terrorgram, a network of white supremacist chat groups and channels. He was arrested last year; prosecutors say he used the Telegram platform to solicit attacks on government infrastructure, encourage the assassination of politicians and distribute instructions for making bombs.
