So, just for the historical record, here are some shots of the Patriot Fronters as they were having their masks removed in Coeur d'Alene on June 11 2022. I mostly have a lot of before-and-after shots.

Weird how this video of a few dozen Muslims praying became 'hundreds of students convert to Islam.' Nobody try to confirm the facts in a video, it could slow you down and diminish your ad revenue share

This is pure speculation. Local media make no mention of the perpetrator being an “African migrant”.
In fact, they say that the alleged perpetrator, who’s been detained, has been previously involved in a range of public disorder incidents (see Google translated screenshots)

Last year we investigated a large network of Russian fake accounts pushing disinfo about Ukraine on TikTok (bbc.co.uk/news/world-eur…)
Looks like they are still at it. I’ve been served these two accounts recently - in Polish and Italian

For context, this image is from the ongoing anti-government protests in Tbilisi, Georgia, and unrelated to pro-Palestinian rallies at US college campuses.

Pro Kremlin/CCP Twitter confusing the nation of Georgia with the US state of Georgia is a funny way to start off the new month.

Documentary out today on the BBC. We spent time in the West Bank, where violence has been escalating…

And found evidence of potential breaches of international law by the Israel military — including the death of an 8 year-old boy.

For the last few years, was almost as though 'militia' became a dirty word...but that seems to be changing.

I have a story in WIRED today about how militias, after laying low since Jan 6, have been quietly re-organizing and rebuilding on Facebook.

❌This altered photo of Trump is making the rounds with claims the former president is looking poorly in court.

Except it's altered. The real photo (R) was taken in Jan this year.
