as posted by the channelGratitude, Grief, and Getting Through It - Hawk Hits 1 Million and Reflects on the Cost
In this candid and deeply personal update, Hawk discusses the surreal roller coaster of a week that brought celebration, reflection, and frustration in equal measure. After unexpectedly hitting one million followers, Hawk shares his conflicting emotions—from gratitude to trauma triggers—highlighting the psychological aftermath of public scrutiny and online harassment.
He revisits the experience of being doxxed and fired, the backlash from political commentary, and the strange dichotomy of receiving immense support while also contending with intense vitriol. Hawk also talks about reconnecting with friends, enjoying punk bars in San Francisco, and the grounding presence of his dogs—all while navigating the shutdown of The Bulwark’s TikTok account and the complicated news surrounding the release of Venezuelan immigrants detained by the Trump administration.
Throughout the episode, Hawk focuses on the lasting emotional damage inflicted by Trump’s rise and expresses frustration with those who still support him. With humor, candor, and a touch of rage, Hawk invites viewers into a week that mirrors the chaos of current events.
