My friend @philipobaji.bsky.social and I have started a GoFundMe to help him raise funds for his important work on uncovering Russian atrocities across Africa.

Philip does incredible work in a region that doesn't get the coverage it deserves.

De wreedheid waartoe we in dit land in staat zijn benoemd mij soms de adem. Uit dit eerste onderzoek van onze nieuwe generatie onderzoeksjournalisten blijkt dat dit 'vrijwel uitsluitend moeders van kleur' treft. Ombudsmannen herkennen het en hebben gemeenten aangesproken, toch gaat het door

I've waited nearly ten years to tell this story: In 2016, I developed a source in Iranian intelligence named Mohammad Hossein Tajik. He told me he came from a politically connected family. That he had led Iran's cyber army. And that he had secretly worked for the CIA. 🧵

Kleine maar schokkende scoop:

Marit de Roij, ambtenaar BZ, die geen kans naliet om haar liefde en steun voor genocidaal Israël uit te dragen en collega's die zich wél uitspraken tegen de genocide te shamen.

Haar nieuwe job vanaf de zomer 2026: landenmedewerker Israël op Buitenlandse Zaken. 🤡🎪

Nightmare blunt rotation.
U weet wel, de vertegenwoordigers van de gewone man. Maar weet waarvandaan zij hun ‘onafhankelijke’ blik vandaan halen.

I'll be attending #gijc25 in Kuala Lumpur this year. In case anybody wants to meet and discuss investigative journalism, pitching to Al Jazeera or anything related (or just say 'hi'), hit me up on Signal: onray.96

To see what happened, watch our investigation '36 Days in July', which features audio by Hassina ordering to shoot unarmed protesters. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt2-...

"Uit Nederland is uitgeverij De Blauwe Tijger vertegenwoordigd, specialist in complotdenken."

Oh, dezelfde Blauwe Tijger waarvan de oprichter - Tom Zwitser - op de emaillijst van Anders Breivik stond? Wow, wat een toeval.

On the “defeat” of the far right in the Netherlands 🇳🇱

The total number of far-right seats in the Tweede Kamer:

2021: 28
2023: 41
2025: 42 👈

And I don’t even count BBB here, which has radicalized significantly in the last year.

Twee walgelijke racistische losers hebben maandenlang, met instemming van hun politieke baas, in hun zolderkamer, met schuim op de mond, anti-Timmermans- en nazi-propaganda gefabriceerd en verspreid. Zonder enige consequentie. De PVV krijgt 25 zetels en Timmermans vertrekt.

Dit is Nederland.

Hey maar er is ook goed nieuws, want huisjesmelker Wybren van Haga haalt weer geen zetel.

Het zijn de kleine dingen die soms een beetje troost geven.

As a scholar I rarely offer electoral guidance. But today I do:

DO NOT USE AI CHATBOTS AS YOUR VOTE ADVICE APPLICATION AHEAD OF (THE DUTCH) ELECTIONS

Full of errors, bias and lack of transparency.

I think the proliferation of online betting apps and ads for them is a danger to society and requires much tighter regulation

The US has been executing people with impunity, alleging they are drug smugglers. Now this.

Honestly, from a human rights perspective this should raise some questions about the 2026 World Cup, right? Right?
