Streets have been renamed, Ukrainian monuments removed, and murals painted over. Bellingcat investigates how apartment blocks in the Ukrainian port city of Mariupol have been demolished to make way for a new Russian suburban utopia… www.bellingcat.com/uncategorize...

"I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys."

We mapped Operation Midway Blitz in Illinois with @evidentmedia.org. A federal judge will hold a hearing today (November 5th) on whether a temporary restraining order restricting crowd-control tactics in Illinois should be converted into a preliminary injunction. youtube.com/shorts/HKXEY...

A Border Patrol agent was caught on video telling another to throw tear gas “for fun,” according to a court filing. They also mocked protesters and residents who were getting gassed.

Body cams apparently show Border Patrol agents joking about tossing tear gas at a nonviolent protest, with one agent saying "Hey, throw it [tear gas] for fun." Agents then tried to drive away, but there was apparently so much tear gas they were overcome, couldn't drive, and had to leave on foot.

Teen Vogue has been putting out great pieces. The quality of journalism there is top tier. This is absolutely a disservice to the magazine.

NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.) www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/03/c...

This is one of the many incidents we cover in our latest investigation into potential breach of the TRO in place in Illinois. The footage speaks for itself.

Come watch me struggle live to geolocate based on 3D models, which is something I've never done before. No guarantees I'll be able to do it, but I can for sure say that we can figure it out together as I pretend to be a streamer.

wasn’t expecting to read tonight about a Catholic priest going by the name "skinheadlad1488" in a chatroom called Aryan Reich Killers but here we are www.bbc.com/news/article...

If you aren't paying attention to what is happening in Illinois/Chicago, you're missing out on Bovino and federal agents using tear gas, pepper balls, and force against the people. Check out our investigation alongside @evidentmedia.org

FULL STORY: Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino will not appear in court Wednesday for what was to be the first of his daily check-ins with a judge after a federal appellate court granted an emergency stay hours before he was set to appear, @bymattmasterson.bsky.social reports for @wttw.bsky.social

btw, this was the meme that Bushart posted that got him arrested and jailed for over a month and has his facing felony charges.

Surely, no thing can go wrong relying on facial recognition to ID people to arrest, even overriding birth certificates as proof of citizenship.

A good chunk of my time each week is dedicated to collecting and archiving video evidence of DHS officers arresting people. There are literally hundreds of these videos. I cannot fathom why people spend time on Sora creating their own AI videos of families being ripped apart to post online.

This is wild. Coupled with the fact that Bovino admitted that he himself does not wear a body-camera and has not been trained to use one.

the coat is giving ✨SS✨

The sweet release after basically playing two full games back-to-back

Let's gooooooooooo!!!!! And after all that, they get to do this again in 17 hours.

Will a baseball expert tell me if there ever has been a world series game that ended on the same day that the next game is scheduled? Because at 11:30 pm and going into the 17th inning, it looks like that may happen tonight/tomorrow. Tired for the longest WS game. Might as well make history.

I guess everyone at dodger stadium is getting their money's worth on their tickets.

15th inning???

This is dystopian shit. Did no one think of the ramifications of a false positive? Did no one review the footage to see that this kid was eating chips before police are called? This system can get a kid killed instead of being used to save them.

Welcome to Decoherence Media, an independent nonprofit founded by @jennefer.bsky.social and @tristanl.ee that investigates authoritarian and anti-democratic movements using open-source and data-driven methods.

Thrilled to see my former colleague @tristanl.ee launch @decoherence.media. Really excited to see the work to come, and their inaugural publication on Rope Culture! If you research the far-right movement in anyway, Tristan is one of the best resources out there. A must follow!

The White House's East Wing is now completely demolished, as seen in @planet.com SkySat imagery taken today.

New satellite images show the scale of demolition that has occurred on the East Wing of the White House in less than a month.

If this was a movie, the audience would think literally destroying a portion of the White House would be too direct of a metaphor to represent Trump's dismantling of America.

A collection of Embroidered satellite images would go hard in an OSINT art exhibition

Emotions watching game 7 tonight.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

Let's GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I'm personally thrilled to see this happen. Legal pressure is one of things needed to shut down sites like Clothoff that use AI to create non-consensual deepfake nudes of both adults and children. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/teen...

The leadership at Open AI has never taken a class on ethics, and it shows.

Easy to miss optical illusion

Yes. You read that headline correctly. ICE arrested a police officer claiming he's here illegally. www.cnn.com/2025/10/16/p...

Update: Back in May, I noticed that an AI deepfake porn site I previously reported on had its Telegram channel disappear. I'd been casually following the site since its rebrand from Anydream to Genfluence. It has been months later, no new Telegram, and no new photos on their 'discover' page.

welp. that's one I haven't heard before

"While on the phone with 911, Rinderknecht allegedly typed a question into ChatGPT: 'Are you at fault if a fire is lift because of your cigarettes'"

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

There is reading @jackjenkins.me's article where he describes a minister being hit in the head with pepper balls by agents on a roof while praying, and you hope that this is an exaggeration. But seeing it verifies that it is exactly as described.
