They also research civil society and were mentioned with other OSINT teams who were critical to the inquiries from Congress and the DOJ after January 6 th.

1624192661031878657 | I spoke with @nhk_kokusainews about the role of conspiracy theories and hateful beliefs in fueling US political violence from January 6 to the recent attack against Paul Pelosi. @ISDglobal quickly used #OSINT to discover and preserve the attacker's hate-filled digital footprint. https://t.co/uGjtKYz0qy | 4 |

1624388624396476417 | @ISDglobal @DisinfoIndex @jkingy So basically if something is on your list it means they tell the truth. I get it. | 21 |
1626228219702812672 | @ISDglobal @jkingy It's not "delayism" when energy technology isn't nearly ready for a mass transition away from fossil fuels. Wind and solar cannot reliably sustain power grids, and they still won't be able to in 10 or 15 years. This is like stepping off a cliff before the bridge is even built. | 20 |

1626222835499929604 | @ISDglobal @jkingy What’s the earth’s baseline temperature? Because in geological history, it’s been much hotter and much cooler than it is now. | 15 |
