In Colombia, a candidate in recent elections for right-wing Centro Democrático featured a man with heavy blurring in a campaign video — but I still ID’d this blurry guy as leader of the Hitler-loving, B&H/C18-linked Active Club Bogotá. My @bellingcat.com latest www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/05...

Ćalciland this morning. That's the former goon squad camp in front of the National Assembly in Belgrade. Masked men in black arrived at 7.30pm last night - then legged it when Vučić conceded. The Student List supporters cleared out the camp. For the first time in 18 months, it's safe to walk here.

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva came from behind to win Brazil’s runoff election, halting a right-wing wave sweeping Latin America and defying predictions that the 80-year-old political veteran had finally reached the end of his extraordinary career. bloom.bg/4BsvV24 📷: Maira Erlich/Bloomberg

Meanwhile in Novi Sad, a giant banner featuring the face of far-right politician and convicted war criminal Vojislav Šešelj — Vučić’s 1990s-era mentor and current ally — has been torn down from the building in the city that houses the Serbian Radical Party’s office before/after

Ah, someone’s already updated the Ćacilend Wikipedia page - “was” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%86a...

“Aleksandar Vučić announced the end of his 12-year reign as the most powerful man in Serbia on Sunday following a pivotal election that swept the Student List protest movement to victory” = a lede I never imagined @unawrites.bsky.social writing but 2026 gonna 2026 www.politico.eu/article/serb...

Ich habe heute Abend wirklich mit dem schlimmsten gerechnet heute Nacht. Stattdessen gibt es jetzt den Sturz einer Autokratie an der Wahlurne und das Land erwartet eine riesengroße Party.

Serbia: Polling stations across the country have now closed in today's national parliament elections. There will be no exit polls. Non-governmental organisations will provide a parallel count. #Serbia #Srbija #Izbori2026

“In email after email, [AfD] supporters use racist slurs and share antisemitic theories of Jewish world domination; there are jokes about turning refugees into handbags and boots, discussions of whether refugees should be shot at the border, a Christmas card sent with a swastika and “Heil Hitler…””

Police in Split arrested several people after members of Torcida Split marched through the city chanting antisemitic slogans, including “Trample, trample the Jews,” “Auschwitz, Auschwitz,” and “Rise, Adolf” before Hajduk's match against Ajax balkaninsight.com/2026/10/16/c...

When Ukraine hit Russian data centers earlier this month, some suspected it disrupted Russian bot networks on social media. A review of our data found no evidence that's actually the case. We spoke to @thedispatchmedia.bsky.social about what we're (not) seeing: thedispatch.com/article/ukra...

From 2 weeks ago: Authorities searched premises across Germany, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Italy and Poland in an investigation into a suspected criminal organization accused of producing and distributing music with Nazi, antisemitic and racist content www.occrp.org/en/news/raid...

what makes this strange(r) is that there don’t appear to have been any media reports (yet?) about this reported murder (happy to be corrected) nor is there much at all in the way of public posting from neo-Nazis about this — some, yes, but certainly not an amount befitting of an apparent ‘martyr’

For the record: Several #neo-Nazi channels are reporting that last Friday, the neo-Nazi Daniel Gomez was stabbed to death whilst on his way home from a neo-Nazi concert in Bogotá, #Colombia. Yet they remain undecided as to whether it was ‘the Antifa’ or ‘SHARP-Skins’ or ‘anti-fascist SHARP-Skins’ 🤷

likewise far-right discourse online has not magically disappeared all of a sudden. everybody come back down to earth please, as awful as earth may be sometimes

The Dutch far right “uses euphemistic terms such as 'remigration' to normalize their racist views. This is a deliberate strategy, according to the AIVD and NCTV”, ie something that has bleedingly obvious to some of us for a long, long time (still, worth repeating and repeating again)

Extreemrechts weet racistische ideeën te normaliseren met verhullende taal, waarschuwen AIVD en NCTV
