Belarus’s military charm offensive in Asia While all eyes are on Moscow and Jakarta, Minsk is quietly stealing a march across Asia.

Me for @lowyinstitute.bsky.social - While Australia has been focused on Russia's efforts to build influence in our region, Belarus's Asian strategy is flying under the radar. That's a mistake. We need to be watching Belarus's military-industrial complex.

This neo-Nazi is married to an elected Republican who holds local office and has “liked” some of his social media content. She claims she doesn’t share his views, but I find that hard to believe.

Donald J. Trump & @realDonald Trump Based on the highly provocative statements of the Former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that. Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances. Thank you for your attention to this matter! 479 ReTruths 1.56k Lik... 8/1/25, 11:53 AM

Screenshot of a doc that Chris Pohlhaus shared online that shows he was denied a Visa by the Australian government due to his racist activism. The document states, in part, that Pohlhaus presence in Australia "would or might be a risk to the health, safety, or good order of the Australian community or a segment of the Australian community." Pohlhaus applied for a visa on June 16, 2025 according to the document.

The Australian government denied a visa to the leader of the neo-Nazi Blood Tribe, Chris Pohlhaus, and he is spiraling out online. He had been scheduled to speak at a neo-Nazi rally in the country hosted by the National Socialist Network.

“Total remigration”: Anti-migrant narratives targeting the UK A year after the worst far-right riots in recent British history, data shows that anti-migrant language are rife online.

A year after the worst far-right riots in recent British history, ISD found that hostility towards migrants in the UK is only intensifying. The number of anti-migrant posts on X in the first half of 2025 was almost the same as all of 2024. ISD’s latest examines how this rhetoric is accelerating 👇

She still refuses to respond.

The Delirious, Violent, Impossible True Story of the Zizians A handful of gifted young tech people set out to save the world. For years, WIRED has been tracking each twist and turn of their alleged descent into mayhem and death.

WIRED also kills it with ambitious narrative storytelling. Pieces you can lean back and spend time with (in the mag, on your phone, wherever)!

Take, for example, Evan Ratliff’s dive into the world’s first AI-inflected death cult, the Zizians, and their staggering cross-country murder spree.

Just want to amplify this outside of my own replies.

To Whom It May Concern, I became aware of your recent article “Trump posts fake video of Obama in jail, declares ‘treason’ and ‘crime of the century’ in AI-driven blitz” which contains a completely fabricated quote from me. The article attributes the following to me regarding Donald Trump’s AI video depicting Obama’s arrest: “This deepfake is political disinformation at its worst,” said Nina Jankowicz, disinformation analyst and former executive director of the US Disinformation Governance Board. “It erodes public trust, damages reputations, and poses serious threats to democratic stability.” I did not say this. In fact, I have not issued any comment related to this Trump AI video to your outlet or the public. The manufactured quote is incorrect and irrelevant, and it negatively impacts my professional reputation. Please remove the false quotation and append a correction to the article, stating that a prior version of this article included a quote falsely attributed to Nina Jankowicz. Sincerely, Nina Jankowicz

Can't believe I had to issue a request like this, but apparently news outlets are printing completely fabricated quotes now

During the federal election campaign, then opposition leader Peter Dutton claimed cutting foreign student numbers would free up more housing and rental opportunities.
