Capital vs. Sanctions - После - Posle Media
Why do Western technologies continue to fuel Russia’s war machine despite sweeping sanctions? Is it a matter of loopholes — or proof that global capital itself is beyond the reach of governments? Why ...

My brother has gifted me the chevron of Arkan, the drone batallion of the 10th Mountain Assault Unite of 🇺🇦. They have been valiantly defending Hulyaipole, the birth place of Nestor Makhno, the communist anarchist who fought in the Ukrainian war of independence.
The situation in Hulyaipole is bad. 🧵

I'm excited but a bit sad to announce that I've left Bellingcat to start a nonprofit investigative outlet focused on the far-right. We're called Decoherence Media, and we're launching today.

Really scary report on the Prarieland case, the Trump regime’s intensification of its war on antifa:
"According to the government’s case, the defendants’ all-black clothing, handheld radios, and use of encrypted messaging apps serve as evidence, not of their being security-conscious protesters in a period of escalating political repression but, rather, of being members of a 'militant enterprise'."
These Dallas Residents Are on the Front Lines of Trump’s War Against “Antifa”
If convicted, people who showed up to a protest could face “decades of prison time,” the National Lawyers Guild says.

I’m not generally a fan of if-the-boot-was-on-the-other-foot counterfactuals, but can you imagine what the UK media would be doing if one of Corbyn’s closest politician allies was found to be a Russian agent? Why is Farage not being held over the coals for this?

It’s extraordinary but not shocking that it isn’t seen as a massive story that one of the most senior politicians in Farage’s party was an active Russian agent for pay, asking questions in the European Parliament on the Kremlin’s behalf, organising pro-Russian events.
