This is becoming one of the hardest things I have ever done

There is no doubt in my mind I must turn in my brother, who was one of the seditionists. I love my brother but I love my country too, and frankly the sooner he is talking to the FBI the less likely he will be party to an attack on inauguration day.

The thing is, I know him. He is a sad and lonely guy with a substance abuse problem, who got involved in all this because he found some white supremacist "friends" at a bar. They've been nothing but a problem for him for several years, but to him they are the only thing standing in the way of a life empty of people.

That is, except for me.

And here I am, in what by all rights looks like an act of supreme betrayal, typing my tip into the FBI tips form, then pulling back, then starting again, but not quite being able to finish the deed.

Yet. Because I know I have to. And I will. And it is tearing my heart apart.
