What is happening at the United States Capitol at the moment will become clear at some point over the coming hours, days, and weeks. But with the country on edge and hundreds of people storming the House and Senate chambers during what is normally a boring procedural event, the best way to see the chaos on Wednesday is by watching a dozen simultaneous livestreams being piped onto a single Twitch channel.

Hundreds of “Stop the Steal” Trump supporters protested outside the Capitol Wednesday, then pushed through cops, banged on doors, and eventually made their way into the building, where protesters (or participators in the coup attempt) threatened lawmakers, took photos at the Dais, and, at least one woman was shot. This surreal and frightening series of events happened in real life, of course, but it also happened on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitch, with journalists, protesters, lawmakers, police officers, and legislative aides narrating every moment on their social media accounts.
