Friday was quite a busy one, unfortunately the news led by another Terrorist Attack by #Russia.

But there was also the surprise of seeing Prigozhin call for an end to the war, and lots more interesting stuff.

This concurs with most experts' views as the invaders continue to build defences in the Occupied Territories. Image

#BREAKING: The neo-nazi group American Identity Movement, formerly known as Identity Evropa, announced today that it has officially disbanded: unicornriot.ninja/2020/neo-nazi-…
In March 2019, we released over a year of leaked records from inside Identity Evropa (IE) as part of our reporting: unicornriot.ninja/2019/neo-nazi-…

Shortly after we published, IE's leader claimed to have disbanded the organization and announced the 'new' American Identity Movement.
Leaked chats from Identity Evropa's Slack channel (since banned by the company) revealed granular details of IE's activities - their yearly conference, meeting locations, and members' claims to be networking with various figures in the Republican Party.
