Memes aren’t just visual jokes. They’re containers for meaning. When used intentionally, they build counter-narratives—challenging propaganda by offering different values, identities, and visions of reality. #NarrativeWarfare #MemeticWarfare #DigitalPsychology

In the aftermath of 9/11, Ukraine, a non-NATO ally, sent troops to Afghanistan and Iraq—not because we had to, but because we stood with our US partners and allies in a moment of need. There was no question.

Very good and long overdue idea! Open source investigations have revolutionised journalism and universities need to teach these skills

Israel and Hamas have agreed to a ceasefire, subject to Israeli cabinet approval. At Bellingcat we've covered the 15-month conflict by sharing resources for monitoring land change as well as producing our own, in-depth investigations. Find our coverage here: www.bellingcat.com?s=gaza
