For all my #OSINT peeps, archive [dot] today has been DDOSing a blog and is using its visitors as unwilling participants in this attack. Read about it here (arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...) and from this blog gyrovague.com. And consider removing this archiving tool from your kit.

Donald Trump implemented the largest tax hike in decades on working families — and the Supreme Court just found it illegal. Tariffs aren’t paid for by the other country — they’re paid by you. Relief is finally coming, and it’s no thanks to this President.

One win for a constitutional republic over Trumpian authoritarianism.

Finally, SCOTUS reaffirms what we've known all along, Trump's tariffs are an unconstitutional tax on the American people. Over the last year, working people paid an average of $1,000 more because of these tariffs. And Trump has no plan to put that money back in your wallet.

Tonight, Ramadan begins for our Muslim neighbors here in Montgomery County and around the world. There are more than 30,000 Muslims in the County, making it the fourth-largest Muslim population in the U.S. To all who observe Ramadan, have an easy and meaningful fast.

I am so blessed to work with such a dedicated team of people that cares so deeply about using #OSINT to help other people. Here is a news report from the recent NCPTF Operation we ran in NY. www.cbsnews.com/newyork/vide...

Trump isn't just suing the IRS. He's waging a war on it. His regime has... -Shut down the IRS's Direct File program, a huge gift to the tax prep industry -Gutted IRS staff, leaving fewer employees to assist taxpayers -Deprioritized federal tax prosecutions, letting tax cheats off the hook

When big banks charge 24% or 30% interest on credit cards, they are not engaged in the business of "making credit available." They are involved in extortion and loan sharking. Yes, we need to cap credit card interest rates at 10% and stop Wall Street from ripping off Americans.

Black History Month is a time to celebrate the achievements of Black Americans who've shaped our nation, and to recognize there's still work to do. From the Tuskegee Airmen to engineers who helped us reach the Moon, their contributions are essential.

Where the hell is the "Board of Peace?” Over 500 Palestinians have been killed since the “ceasefire.” This comes days after the IDF itself admitted the Palestinian death toll is over 70,000.  The use of American taxpayer-funded weapons makes us complicit.  Stop the slaughter.

Donald Trump is suing the federal government for $10 billion. That is your money. Never in our history have we seen something like this. The billionaire President always has a new plan to make himself richer, but never a plan to make your bills more affordable.

Trump's FBI raided an election office in Georgia, a state central to his baseless 2020 voter fraud conspiracy theories. Meanwhile, he's continuing to let actual fraudsters and politically-connected crooks off the hook. This is what weaponizing government looks like.

EXCLSUVIE: The Trump administration has secretly rewritten nuclear safety rules and shared them with the companies they're meant to regulate, without making the new rules publicly available. We've obtained a copy of the new rules and here's what we found. www.npr.org/2026/01/28/n...

Today, we remember the 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and honor the survivors who shared their stories so we never forget. "Never again" isn't just words—it's a commitment. With antisemitism rising, we can't be silent. We have to stand against hate wherever it appears.

The 50501 Movement is mobilizing for the ICE Out of Everywhere National Day of Action on January 31st. We are also organizing the No Housing for ICE boycott, the #dontserveice movement, and the Primary Pro-ICE Dems campaign.

Synthetic doctors are outperforming real ones on social media. I found more than 25 AI health accounts with +8.5 million followers. The Canadian Medical Assoc runs a program featuring real doctors. Its prez told me: "I would say that our following is not as large." indicator.media/p/ai-generat...

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see. Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him. It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

Everything Trump is doing now (from from Portland to Minneapolis to Chicago) is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but I've been warning for months of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

Good news: Your organizing has grounded “ICE Air.”

Quick shout out to my favorite newsletter-making, disinformation hunter, journalists: @craigsilverman.bsky.social and @mantzarlis.com for bringing quality writing back into my #OSINT email mailbox. Love reading their indicator.media/p/briefing-g... newsletters and other briefings.

NEW: Data released by ICE shows that virtually the entire growth of detention in the last few months has been among people with no criminal record at all - no prior convictions (no matter how minor) and no pending criminal charges.

Today New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveiled a plan for universal child care across the state. Governor Hochul also announced that she’s “committing to fully fund the first two years” of Zohran's plan for free preschool for all 2-year-olds.

New Instagram #OSINT bookmarklet to reveal dates and times when a post was made. Details at blog.myosint.training and get it at tools.myosint.training. Here's what The Rock's IG page looked like before and after use.

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth. When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

📽️ NEW VIDEO: @booker.senate.gov joins @marcelias.bsky.social to discuss why extreme inequality and normalized corruption are dangers to democratic stability. Booker argues that democracy can only be saved by giving people something worth fighting for👇

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Does your #OSINT work take you to Instagram? Tired of "relative dates" and trying to figure out what the date 84 weeks ago was, you can use the Instagram Date Revealer bookmarklet (tools.myosint.training). It'll show local & UTC absolute dates for posts and reels and more!

Since February 2022, the Eyes on Russia project by CIR and the #OSINT community has verified and mapped footage of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The data is searchable by location, date and description. For example, you can search "drone" and see areas they are largely present in.

Trump is taking money out their housing allowances approved by Congress and giving it to them in a “bonus” so it looks like it came from him. It’s just a shell game with military pay from the ultimate con man

We are still building #OSINT bookmarklets...just not transforming them into userscripts for Tampermonkey any longer.

New on @indicator.media: I asked 53 experts of digital deception from 15 countries to rate the key figures and moments of 2025.

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. Epstein haunts him. Republicans are beginning to revolt against him. He's not all powerful. A tyrant can exercise tyranny only insofar as the objects of his tyranny continue to allow it. Remember this.
