Read our latest investigation. For those not steeped in the far-right, it's hard to over-emphasize how Bad some of these groups are. Their members have murdered people, sexually extorted children, and inspired mass shootings.

So the story about Ghislaine Maxwell flying a Blackhawk helicopter in Colombia and firing a rocket into a terrorist camp might be real?

The Epstein Files: My Observations (Free) jkbjournalist.substack.com/p/the-epstei...

I have used my now functioning riso to create a zine I call “random Epstein files I clicked on”

Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI. After finding the document in the trove, I called her. She broke down in tears. “I’ve waited 30 years. I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files: Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996. The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

Only one employee at Epstein's Little Saint James island has their name redacted, a housekeeper www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

Well...

It is incredibly grim how quickly you get used to seeing the "CSAM not scanned" image – each one documenting 51, 81, 100, or some other number of abusive images of children that (thankfully) haven't been digitised.

Some of these redactions are almost like modern art

Covering images with post-it notes is an interesting redaction strategy

The DOJ needs to fire the web developer who made the Epstein Library search interface

Using the DOJ's Epstein Library search interface, no results for "Donald Trump".

my read is it's an alarm bell to the donor class to fund programs to channel the anti-establishment energy in less (GOP) toxic ways

Star Wars Revenge of the Sith: authoritarian takeover and state-directed mass executions

A pedophile Groyper running as a Republican? I'm shocked.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out www.statesman.com/news/article...

Yesterday, from @francescadnunz.bsky.social: “If I’m in my backyard, if I’m on my deck, do I expect that I have to encounter a law enforcement camera? I shouldn’t have to. Should I have to deal with a cop zipping by all of the time? I don’t think so.”

Living in Texas for several years has left me with no illusions about the kind of society that conservatives want to impose

absolutely wild move by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov to allow comments on the dropbox folder with the epstein photos

True Life: I Accidentally Clicked The Heart React Button On The Public Epstein Files Dropbox

Whether it's Epstein or 764, pedophiles seem to love having their victims mark themselves

Well that helps to explain this Brooks column from last month. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/o...

House Dems have released more photos provided to the oversight committee from Jeffrey Epstein's estate. More images of Woody Allen, Noam Chomsky, Steve Bannon, Bill Gates in this batch. New to this batch: David Brooks and David Blaine.

I would absolutely watch Spider-Man smoking a cigar while torturing the Green Goblin

Fifteen years ago today, on December 17, 2010, Tunisian fruit vendor Mohamed Bouazizi stood in the middle of traffic, shouted “How do you expect me to make a living?” and set himself on fire, sparking popular protests in Tunisia and across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).

The insult that got hurled at Caesar most consistently, per the sources, was the allegation that he had bottomed for the king of Bithynia

Jason Lee Van Dyke is not a member of PF. He just trains PF members in BJJ at PF's private gym, hosted a dozen PF members for Thanksgiving, tattooed PF's slogan on his arm, uses a well-known alias inside PF, and participated in PF's private online chatroom. www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

HOW TO GET A TAXPAYER-FUNDED XMAS DINNER: White supremacist Sean Kauffmann was being taken into custody until he could post a higher bond on a DV charge. Then he shot a bird at NC5’s cam, landing himself 10 days in jail for contempt and getting his bond revoked. 🎥: Bryan Staples

Snapshot of US Air Force and Navy activity in the Caribbean at this moment: - 1 x Stratotanker (63-8003/ae0139) out of the Dominican Republic - 1 x C-130J-30 (10-5700 / ae4bdd) out of PR tracking towards Trinidad & Tobago - 2 x E-18G Growlers running a familiar pattern north of Gran Roque

CNN has suddenly discovered Tennessee's Patriot Front compound that was a subject of an extensive NewsChannel 5 investigation back in March. Here is my report: 1/ www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...

In 2019 Van Dyke tried to join The Base, a neo-Nazi paramilitary group that the European Union has designated as a terrorist organization. Quoting him as if he's a normal lawyer is ridiculous. www.vice.com/en/article/a...

This article quotes Jason Lee Van Dyke, a self-described fascist who I found participated in a Patriot Front private chat room, to say he is not a member of Patriot Front and to defend Patriot Front's reputation. The article does not mention his fascist beliefs or his participation in the chat room.

In short this sounds like your typical pack of dipshits who may have set themselves on fire testing the explosives and whose ability to create real bombs is in doubt

Jared Taylor, a prominent white nationalist whose annual American Renaissance conference serves as a "who's who" for the international white supremacist movement, was among those who attended the New York Young Republican Club gathering this weekend. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

New from me! After we reached out to the owner of these deepfake porn sites, they were removed offline and he deleted his socials. Each time a site goes down, it's a win for me. Hopefully this guy never tries to get them up and running again. Check out our investigation!

In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention facilities to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many sites. He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him. www.wsj.com/world/china/...

Well, there's a photo I never expected to see in my life. Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon.

This weekend @attackerman.bsky.social has a great, strange one for you: A letter written by the FBI in 1964 as part of COINTELPRO's efforts to provoke the murders of Black Panthers. It begins, "Dear Mr. Kahane,"

Greg Bovino took a photo yesterday with known Proud Boys, in Slidell, Louisiana, including one wearing a Proud Boys hat.

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...

🧵1/6 In collaboration with @socalresearchclub.osky.social we are identifying neo-nazi Maxwell "Max" Marks, age 22, from San Diego, CA, a SoCal Active Club affiliate working with white nationalists Ryan Sanchez, Nick Taurus, and Richie Black to pummel Orange County GOP politics further into fascism.
