The bearded guy is Alexey Levkin. We (@bellingcat) have written lot about him -- he's a neo-Nazi who left Russia years ago.

His organization, Wotanjugend, once called Timothy McVeigh and Brevik "heroes".

Worshipping McVeigh, Hitler, and Brevik is just the tip of the iceberg -- Levkin has a whole host of criminal offenses and allegations against him, ranging from vandalism of Jewish & Muslim graves to murder.

Checking out some new 50cm imagery on Planet of Belgorod now. This was likely caused one way or the other from the mini-invasion, located at 50.457124, 35.609863 (google.com/maps/place/50%…) Image
Nothing I can notice at the city administration building of Grayvoron, which was allegedly hit by a shell dropped by a Ukrainian drone.

NASA FIRMS shows heat detection near the border checkpoint at Grayvoron, near where the Russian MoD shelled alleged Ukrainian positions.

lol someone already made the Wikipedia update Image
More from Baza: reports of a Russian Mi-8 helicopter crash near Prokhorovka (a ways north of Belgorod and the border, nowhere near the incursion)
t.me/bazabazon/17851
RT "reports" that this was all part of the plan, and Russia let itself get invaded on purpose in order to catch Ukrainian troops into a "trap". Image

New court documents in the Teixeira case just dropped (courtlistener.com/docket/6718949…). Some interesting bits in here for sure.
I wanted to do screenshots to highlight parts of this document, but basically the entire PDF is worth a screenshot highlight.

Listen, I don't want to tell the Air Force how to do their jobs, but come on. ImageImageImageImage

Is this a typical thing for Twitter to do? It's "sensitive" content in that it shows that a mass shooter had two Nazi tattoos? Image
(I honestly don't know, maybe this is how it's always been, I've only seen the sensitive warning on things like violent videos/photos)
Didn't know that you can't see Quote Tweets on posts that are being limited, like this one is apparently. Twitter -- a neat site!

I've been playing around with this tool for a couple of months, and it's insanely cool once you get the hang of it. It lets you leverage OSM's data for geolocation, but without having to learn how to use Overpass-Turbo.

bellingcat.com/resources/how-…
The tool lets you search for intersecting features within a certain radius of @openstreetmap's data. You can use this for geolocation.

For example: show me all parks in NYC within a 50m radius of a one-way street with a 25mph speed limit, Catholic church, and Italian restaurant.
OSM's dataset isn't perfect or complete all over the world, so you can't always get ultra-granular. But it's pretty fantastic at letting you layer geographic details to get a list of potential geolocation candidates.

Wrote up a summary on @bellingcat that shows how the recently-unearthed Odnoklassniki account of the Allen, TX mall shooter is definitely, absolutely, certainly his.
bellingcat.com/news/2023/05/0…
As much as I'd like to actually be the greatest digital spelunker who delved deep for hours to find this obscure OK page, I literally just saw the second paragraph of an NYT article, used these search filters (male / USA / birth date), found the shooter's page.
3rd result. Tada. ImageImage
