This is a thread about fact checking. It's a list. Nothing more. Some of the tweets you see are so bonkers it's hard to understand them, let alone argue them. But do bonk with confidence and these sites will help, but use more than one as some of these sites also have some bias.

@MrsPatmore2022 @SlavaUkrHeroyam 👋

The best way to break Musk's algorithm against pro Ukranian accounts is to reply all tweets from Fellas. Even with a 👏💪🙏🇺🇦😘 He wont win us. Never.

@smoggy1536445 Never look back is a good mantra

@frogwillwalk This is the day after, and ill never show the full selfie of me and my "artwork"

Me trying to take a drunk selfie. Whilst someone explains to me why everyone else is annoyed at me. They all have valid points.

Until now, Vladimir Putin’s government is thought to have provided intelligence that enabled Iran to target American forces in the Middle East. Our exclusive reporting shows it also offered to send fibre-optic drones of the sort used in the Ukraine war economist.com/europe/2026/05…

@Simon_Froggatt can you follow me back please. I have a question about working things.

This matters, this isn’t a piece to vilify Palestinian supporters or vindicate Israel. But the actors and characters and funding behind PA hides something much more sinister than Pro Palestinian support. It is heavily funded by Communist and pro russian ideologues who expressly wish to watch the west fall. This isn’t a humanitarian organisation as much as a front, to bring russian rhetoric into the mainstream.

So Leicestershire police have been forced to reveal their contract with Palantir, and this is a real image from the release. Completely REDACTED 😑

The Nigel Farage Guide to Being a Working-Class Hero Step 1: Be born to a City stockbroker. Step 2: Attend Dulwich College, fees currently £53,000 a year. Step 3: Skip university. Become a City commodities trader instead. Step 4: Run one of your metal broking firms into insolvency. Step 5: Get elected to the European Parliament. Spend the next 21 years drawing a salary from the institution you're paid to dismantle. Step 6: Claim £15,500 a year in expenses for an office your party was given rent-free. Step 7: Put your wife on the EU parliamentary payroll. Take her off only when the rules force you to. Step 8: Get investigated by the EU's anti-fraud office. Eventually have half your MEP salary docked to repay misused public funds. Step 9: Throw a Brexit victory party at the Ritz. Decry the "professional political class" to a room of millionaires. Step 10: Take £450,000 in personal gifts from Arron Banks. House. Car. Lifestyle. Step 11: Take £5 million, undisclosed, from a Bangkok-based crypto billionaire. Days later, announce you're standing for parliament after all. Step 12: Win Clacton. Take the £93,904 MP salary. Add £1.2 million a year from GB News at £2,300 an hour. Become the highest-earning MP in the House of Commons. Step 13: Speak in parliament fewer times than any other party leader. Fly to America at least nine times in your first year. Refuse to hold in-person constituency surgeries. Holiday in France while parliament is sitting. Step 14: Tell the working class you're one of them. Tell them to vote against their own interests, over and over again. Pint, mate?

Russian soldiers confess to war crimes in calls to families.

That's what white phosphorus looks like. It glows orange, produces a lot of smoke, and falls quickly. Thermite glows bright white, produces almost no visible smoke, and falls much slower, almost like snow. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Tens of thousands chant “Russians, go home!” at tonight’s anti-Orbán concert in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square ahead of Sunday’s Hungarian election.

Russians have used chemical substances against the Ukrainian Armed Forces more than 13,000 times since the start of the large-scale war, — Command of the Support Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Reported figures: Approximately 400 incidents were recorded in March 2026 alone. The peak was reached in 2025 – with over 800 incidents per month. The most frequently used chemical weapons are K-51 and RG-Bo gas grenades, as well as homemade devices containing CS and CN. The drops are usually carried out from drones targeting Ukrainian Armed Forces positions to force soldiers to abandon their shelters.

Labour says an 11,000-mile round trip on a private jet linked to billionaire donor Christopher Harborne - worth over £195,000 at market rates - was declared at just £25,000. The Electoral Commission rules say donations must be valued at a "comparable market rate." Should regulators step in?

Let me explain something to the MAGA crowd, because clearly someone needs to. They seem to think NATO is cosmic room service. You pick up the phone, say “hello, we’re having a bit of a war here,” and thirty-one countries march to your rescue. A continental Uber for military adventures. That is not how it works. Article 5 is a mutual defense clause. The clue is in the word mutual. And it has been triggered exactly once in NATO’s entire history. After September 11. When America was attacked. Not Europe. America. Every NATO member showed up. They went to Afghanistan. They fought. They bled. They died. In America’s war. On America’s behalf. Now imagine they hadn’t. Over 1,100 allied soldiers died in Afghanistan. British, Canadian, German, Danish, Polish. And yes, even Ukrainian soldiers, who had no NATO obligation whatsoever. Gone. Without them, those are American names on those graves. Sons from Ohio. Fathers from Georgia. Kids from Nebraska who never came home. Then there is the money. NATO allies spent over 100 billion dollars on a war that started on American soil. Without that, Washington pays every cent. On top of the 2 to 3 trillion the war already cost. And without allied bases across Europe and Central Asia, American supply lines collapse entirely. Without British forces in Helmand and Canadians in Kandahar, the Taliban reconstitutes in three years instead of ten. The gaps get filled one way. More American deployments. More American coffins arriving at Dover. Afghanistan was bloody. But NATO took the hit. Without them, every single one of those casualties would have had an American name. Trump called allies like these losers. Suckers. If you are a certain kind of broken person, that probably makes sense to you. But for the rest of us, what those soldiers did has a different name. Honor. The bond between men who have been in the same dirt, under the same fire. Between Brits and Americans, Frenchmen and Norwegians, Canadians and Danes. Not a diplomatic relationship. A blood bond. Brotherhood forged in places most people will never see and cannot imagine. In that culture, you do not mock a fallen ally. You do not sneer at the dead. It is the lowest thing a human being can do. Trump did it to a standing ovation. If you are a MAGA supporter travelling to NATO countries, understand this. There are no friendly pats on the back waiting for you. No one will buy you a beer. The governments who share your worldview sit in Minsk, Moscow and Pyongyang. Brutal dictatorships where journalists disappear, elections are theatre and dissent is a medical condition treated in basements. Not London. Not Paris. Not Rome, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin or Ottawa. You have abandoned the open societies, the free press, the rule of law, the places where people actually want to live. You traded the best of civilization for a very small, very dark room. Frankly, it serves you right.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@katten260764 Whoops. May not have had my glasses on. On looking, it's a bit obvious with that looping Georgian script.

@frogwillwalk You have assembled fantastic sources for fact checking, thank you so very much. 😻 Comes very handy, bookmarked and shared. One tiny detail: this site is from Georgia (.ge), not Germany (.de) 😉 Doesn't change anything in the content, though.

This is a thread about fact checking. It's a list. Nothing more. Some of the tweets you see are so bonkers it's hard to understand them, let alone argue them. But do bonk with confidence and these sites will help, but use more than one as some of these sites also have some bias.

Pussy Riot occupies headquarters of American tech company Ubiquiti which powers Russian war crimes Since the disabling of Starlink, Russian soldiers been panicking: “All we’ve got left now are radios, cables and pigeons.” But Ubiquiti’s hardware has emerged as the favorite replacement.  We demand that Ubiquiti: - Obey U.S. sanctions - Acknowledge Russian military use - Work with Ukraine to stop it

Nigel Farage took £585,000 from GB News. His MPs declared another £770,000. Four billionaires have spent £170 million building the media machine putting Reform in your living room every night. Today the Guardian exposed them and what they expect in return. This is a political project funded from the top. #ReformUK #NigelFarage #GBNews
