Israel-Palestine Conflict
Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:
UNRWA daily-ish reports on Israel's destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.
English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.
English-language twitter account that collates news (and has automated posting when the person running it goes to sleep).
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis. - Telegram is @EyesOnSouth.
English-language Twitter account in the same group as the previous two. - Telegram here.
English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.
More telegram channels here for those interested.
Various sources that are covering the Ukraine conflict are also covering the one in Palestine, like Rybar.
Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Sources:
Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.
Pro-Russian Telegram Channels:
Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.
https://t.me/aleksandr_skif ~ DPR's former Defense Minister and Colonel in the DPR's forces. Russian language.
https://t.me/Slavyangrad ~ A few different pro-Russian people gather frequent content for this channel (~100 posts per day), some socialist, but all socially reactionary. If you can only tolerate using one Russian telegram channel, I would recommend this one.
https://t.me/s/levigodman ~ Does daily update posts.
https://t.me/patricklancasternewstoday ~ Patrick Lancaster's telegram channel.
https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.
https://t.me/rybar ~ One of, if not the, biggest Russian telegram channels focussing on the war out there. Actually quite balanced, maybe even pessimistic about Russia. Produces interesting and useful maps.
https://t.me/epoddubny ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a 'propaganda tax', if you don't believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.
https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses ~ Pro-Russian, documents abuses that Ukraine commits.
Pro-Ukraine Telegram Channels:
Almost every Western media outlet.
https://discord.gg/projectowl ~ Pro-Ukrainian OSINT Discord.
https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.

Ancap Update:
Javier Milei will no longer fly commercially.
According to the Argentine government, the decision was taken for security reasons. "There's no money, but we have to take care of the president," said the presidential spokesman.
The president of Argentina, Javier Milei, will stop flying on commercial airlines as he did in his first four months in office, a practice with which he sought to cut spending, his spokesman said on Tuesday (16).
"The president can no longer travel on commercial flights and the Ministry of Security has sent all parties a confidential report on the reason for this suggestion," spokesman Manuel Adorni told a press conference.
On Monday, Security Minister Patricia Bullrich told LN+: "There's no money, but we have to take care of the president."
Milei and his team are expected to start using the Boeing 757-256 "Tango 01" as early as Friday, on a trip to Bariloche, in the south of the country, where the ultra-liberal president will take part in a meeting with businesspeople.
After taking office in December, Milei undertook a draconian spending cut to try to pull Argentina out of the economic crisis and, among other measures, announced that he and his team would no longer travel on the three planes in his air fleet.
Since then, he has boarded commercial planes with a reduced entourage and published videos on his social networks in which he appears greeting and taking "selfies" with the other passengers.
So he went to the seaside resort of Mar del Plata to visit his then girlfriend, actress Fátima Florez; and then to Davos, his international debut as president, where he intrigued the world's economic elite by warning: "The West is in danger."
On that occasion, the president celebrated on the X network that his decision had allowed him to save almost 400,000 dollars (R$2.1 million) which came "out of the efforts of Argentinians".
His last trip was last week, when he flew to the United States on Aerolíneas Argentinas and met with tycoon Elon Musk in Texas.
The trip was due to continue to Copenhagen, Denmark, on Saturday, but Milei canceled the remaining leg and returned to his country to set up a "crisis committee" for the for the Iranian attack on Israel that same day.
Milei then expressed his "solidarity and unwavering commitment to the State of Israel"
he should only be flying in helicopters
No, he should only be flying in a Basque modified Dodge Dart.
Well at least it's a Boeing plane so there's some hope
If Boric wasn't a lib, he could give the Mapuche some AA launchers so they can do some trolling
On Monday, Security Minister Patricia Bullrich told LN+: "There's no money, but we have to take care of the president."
Got to cut spending, but alas, the president must be taken care of. No expense is too great to make the president happy. Pay increase to assuage his personal financial concerns, done! Going back to using the presidential air fleet, done! I'm sure all of the Argentines will cry tears of joy knowing their dear president is well taken care of and their sacrifice is well worth it
There is no money.
This is awesome because if he crashes we can just post "Tango Down" and some crabs.
