Putin sits in Moscow claiming that his armies have taken a town that the Ukrainian president is personally visiting. There are cowardly tyrants and there are courageous elected leaders and it is good to know the difference.

Quick guide to interpreting US foreign policy propaganda: if the word “deal” was used, some American made some money, and the war is still going on.

NEW: We linked up with GIFCT to examine white nationalist “youth clubs” recruiting and propagandizing to teens on Telegram. They're affiliated with “active clubs,” decentralized racist groups cropping up in Canada and the US, and recently crossed over into the UK. openmeasures.io/internationa...

What? A state sponsor of terrorism is involved in criminal activity? The nerve.

@emma-briant.co.uk Methinks this guy needs to be sued out of existence.

Trump has escalated his immigration agenda, embracing rhetoric rooted in Europe’s neo-Nazi scene and pulling it into U.S. policy. With DHS now pushing ‘remigration,’ a term built for mass expulsion, America is watching white nationalist ideology move into the center of government power. Read more:

londonlovesbusiness.com/zelenskys-el... My article for LLB. - Ukraine, not the Kremlin, decides it’s democracy.

That’s a nice oil platform you got there maritime-executive.com/article/ukra...

FYI www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

This is a lie and these jackasses are liars.

Can you say capitulating to fascist demands?

⚡️ BREAKING: Zelenskyy says the U.S. floated a plan to make the rest of the Donbas a “free economic zone,” which would mean Ukrainian troops pull back while Russia also stays out of areas it hasn’t occupied. Ukraine’s position is “we hold where we hold,” Suspilne reports.

Let them fight. unherd.com/newsroom/tim...

Yup, it always seems to play out like this. The extreme-left would rather see a fascist try to destroy another left-wing party rather than join in a united front to fight fascism.

Hey stupid, you realize that Massie is a long time John Bircher, right? jbs.org/timeline/jbs...

Invading Venezuela is a terrible idea. Regime change operations are a terrible idea. Dictators are a terrible idea. www.journalofdemocracy.org/online-exclu...

Max Blumenthal joins the surprisingly long list of post-leftists praising Matt Gaetz.

Is it because you are A)Tankies 2) Vatniks 3) Nazbols 4) Alt-imperialists 5) Campists or 6) Simply pieces of shit?

Russian enablers said Ukrainian soldiers mass murdered civilians.

For the record Michael Scheuer is insane. www.thedailybeast.com/michael-sche...

No, you idiot, there isn't a “kill list” and no, Russia isn't “winning”.

Yup, still dead. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

ChrisO_wiki: A sign of the times: the US military Southcom tweets an image of a soldier with a Jerusalem Cross—used by violent white supremacists groups—on his helmet. The symbol isn't part of any official US military insignia, but it is being promoted by Hegseth.

For some reason people still take this clown seriously. Full text of the White House missive included. www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

It's a bit of a slog but there is an alt-imperialist narrative that frames Russia’s Wagner Group’s actions in Africa as “anti-imperialist” despite their wholesale looting of extractive resources and attacks on unarmed civilians. Help me understand. www.abw.gov.pl/ftp/foto/Wyd...

Something something… Left-wing antisemitism. Right-wing antisemitism… Something something…

New map update

Bellingcat has been experimenting with story formats, trying to get away from drawing coloured boxes around important things. Our latest is below: www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/12...

WTF is wrong with you? Eisenhauer fired Patton for treating death camp survivors worse than Nazi POWs.

Pipe bomb suspect told FBI he believed 2020 election conspiracy theories (Colour me shocked!) www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Authoritarian-left figures merging with the authoritarian-right echo chamber to broadcast their persecution fantasies. The supposed ‘persecution’? Honest & factual critique of their continual parroting of Russian propaganda & their years of whitewashing Putin’s crimes in Syria & Ukraine.

Horrific beyond belief.

I wrote about Benjamin Netanyahu's attempt to call off his own corruption trial, which is really the story of how one incredibly compromised man has repeatedly sacrificed his country's national interest and its people's preferences rather than cede power. Gift link:

Interestingly and disturbingly extremists on both sides of the spectrum are openly hostile towards the concept of universal human rights.

So Nick, besides Maduro increasing the number of prisons, arresting & holding people without charges, shooting protesters & using death squads, what does your CTE-damaged brain tell you? www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/202...

Venezuelan propaganda is starting to look like Iranian propaganda. Not surprising given Maduro’s cozy relationship with Hezbollah and the theocratic dictatorship. Finally, it's not uncommon for regional dictatorships to play the antisemitic card. www.bnaibrith.org/antisemitic-...

While Trump’s actions towards Venezuela are clearly criminal, if Maduro’s fanboys want to wave the banner of moral superiority, have I got a surprise for you. www.genocidewatch.com/single-post/...

This is a really great overview about the drug trade in Venezuela including the involvement of the CIA, Hezbollah, and the Venezuelan military. Produce by two top notch crime reporters. Highly recommended. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Mooh...

Siri? Show me the definition of a useful idiot.
