We’re honored to collaborate with Bellingcat for another article‒this time about the recent assault on Goma.
Rwanda-backed M23 rebels are consolidating their control over Goma, a city of approximately 2 million people. Clashes dominated the streets earlier this week forcing residents to stay inside. Bellingcat has been monitoring the ongoing crisis… www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/01...

Russian state media are today alleging that a Bellingcat reporter was involved in an attempt to hijack a Russian fighter plane.
We would like to make clear that Bellingcat had absolutely no involvement in the alleged activities and the accusations towards us are entirely false.

Human rights violations don't have a geopolitical "side". They are universal and affect all alignments. Eliot discusses some of the bigger names in "but what about/now do the West" discourse, but read this, and apply it to the people pushing this brain rot wherever you see it.
The core problem is this, he doesn’t practice principled anti-imperialism. He practices inversionism: if the U.S. supports something, he reflexively takes the opposite side, no matter how brutal that side is, no matter the evidence.
What's wrong with Max Blumenthal?!

The U.S. Supreme Court has blocked Mexico’s lawsuit against American gunmakers. The June 5 decision is likely to mark the end of a yearslong legal battle in which Mexico attempted to hold American gunmakers accountable for violence committed within its borders.
