The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists tells stories that punch through the noise, showing how the world really works, triggering positive change. We are driven by the belief that citizens have the right to be better informed, that access to independently-sourced facts is not only essential for democracy but is also a fundamental human right.
Transparency is at the center of everything we do. We are operating at a time when investigative journalism has never been more important, or more challenged.
The biggest threats to our societies, and to all of us, have gone global, stretching the capacity of traditional newsrooms. Vital public interest reporting must compete against a flood of misinformation that confuses, alienates and divides.
Founded just before the Paris Agreement in 2015, we are a global non-profit think tank leading efforts on climate and sustainability issues. Our mission is to inspire bold action by corporations and governments worldwide to tackle the climate and biodiversity crises. We do this by producing influential analysis for investors, companies, policymakers, campaigns, and other key stakeholders, while serving as a trusted and widely cited resource for the global media. Our three main programs—LobbyMap, FinanceMap, and Carbon Majors—are leading platforms that hold corporations and the financial sector accountable for their climate performance. InfluenceMap is funded through philanthropy and headquartered in London, with offices in New York, Tokyo, Seoul, Brussels, São Paulo, Toronto, and Canberra.
An interactive database of the very wealthy, what they're involved in, and who they're connected to.
Founded in 2011 to bring together the most current and comprehensive body of knowledge about human history in one place. The huge potential of this knowledge for testing theories about political and economic development has been largely untapped. Our unique Databank systematically collects what is currently known about the social and political organization of human societies and how civilizations have evolved over time. This massive collection of historical information allows us and others to rigorously test different hypotheses about the rise and fall of large-scale societies across the globe and human history.
If you are a victim of human rights abuse or have credible evidence that someone else is a victim, you can turn to the UN for help. If you wish to report a complaint, you can do so with: the Special Procedures of the Human Rights Council (independent human rights experts), the human rights Treaty Bodies (committees of independent experts); or the Human Rights Council.
The Fund for Peace (FFP) works to prevent conflict and promote sustainable security globally by building relationships and trust across diverse sectors. Founded in 1957, FFP is an independent, nonpartisan, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C. and Abuja, Nigeria.
Our objective is to create practical tools and approaches for conflict mitigation that are contextually relevant, timely, and useful to those who can help create greater stability. Our approach brings together local knowledge and expertise with innovative tools and technologies to help anticipate and alleviate the conditions that lead to conflict.
To date, FFP has worked in over 60 countries with a wide range of partners in all sectors. These include governments, regional and international organizations, the military, non-governmental organizations, academics, journalists, civil society networks, and the private sector. Our projects include supporting grassroots organizations, developing national dialogues, building the capacities of regional organizations, working to prevent gender-based violence, and taking leadership roles in international initiatives.
Combining social science techniques with information technology, we have produced the patented Conflict Assessment System Tool (CAST), a content analysis software product that provides a conceptual framework and a data gathering technique for measuring conflict risk. Annually, we produce The Fragile States Index, a ranking of 178 countries across 12 indicators of the risks and vulnerabilities faced by individual nations.
FFP specializes in building early warning networks and systems in complex environments. Working directly with local and international partners, we collect and analyze local, national and regional data and trends. This information is then made publicly available in order to foster more informed decisions and policy making, as well as better coordinated approaches to peacebuilding. In addition to our early warning work with civil society, governments, and regional bodies from around the world, we also advise companies operating in complex environments on how to ensure they operate responsibly, respecting human rights and promoting greater stability.
World news from a European perspective. Conflicts are also broken out.
Clear-eyed. Uncompromising. The Index investigates how technology reshapes power and society. Founded in 2025, The Index speaks truth to power in a digital age. Through tenacious reporting, provocative commentary, and spirited debate about technology and society, The Index empowers readers to fight for justice and equality in an era of unprecedented corporate control.
By providing a deeper understanding of the world as it is—and as it could be—we drive bold ideas into the conversation and ignite debates far beyond our pages. We expose how power really works in the age of big tech, artificial intelligence, and algorithmic control.
We believe in intellectual freedom. We value facts and transparency. We argue that dissent is patriotic and we hold the powerful to account, no matter their political persuasion. We raise up the promise of a more democratic tomorrow while we agitate for meaningful change today. Above all, we aspire to galvanize a more informed public—one equipped with a more profound understanding of how technology and power shape our world.
The Index is self funded and independent.
Documented is an investigative watchdog and journalism project committed to holding the powerful interests that undermine our democracy accountable.
We believe that hard-hitting, investigative journalism is needed now more than ever.
Corporations and wealthy donors have far too much power and influence in our political and justice systems. Profits and shareholders are too often put ahead of everyday people. The very real and urgent dangers of climate change are being downplayed or ignored. Our democracy itself is under attack.
None of us are neutral in these fights, and we don't pretend to be. Documented works to level the playing field by pulling back the curtain on those in power to expose corruption. We publish and report on documents, audio, video and other materials that lay bare corporate interests and their network of operatives’ best laid plans to rig the system.
Documented passionately believes that investigative journalism that holds the powerful accountable, serves a critical role in society. To have as large an impact as possible, we frequently partner with other journalists and media outlets with far greater reach in both formal and informal capacities. We do this either as media partners, or as issue experts. If you are a journalist or editor, we have more details on how to contact us about partnerships here. We also occasionally provide our research to non-profits, academics, policymakers or other interested groups for use in their work.
The findings of our investigations have appeared in most (if not all) major US print, online and broadcast news outlets. This has included The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Guardian, The Intercept, NPR, MSNBC and CNN. Our research and reporting has been frequently cited by policymakers, in particular during congressional oversight hearings, and has been used repeatedly by campaign groups pushing for progressive change.
This repository, created by Webz.io, provides free datasets of publicly available news articles identified as originating from fake news websites. We release new datasets weekly, each containing approximately 1,000 articles sourced from these flagged sites. These datasets provide valuable resources for researchers, analysts, and journalists studying misinformation and disinformation trends.
Updated weekly. Sites in the datasets are verified through multiple sources. Metadata, including sentiment analysis, categories, publication dates, and source trust level is included. Covers politics, health, finance, and other key domains where misinformation is prevalent.
Each dataset is a .zip archive containing multiple JSON documents.
A website that tracks all of the policy goals documented by Project 2025, how many have been accomplished, which agencies and other bodies have been damaged, and when. Goes into far more detail than is good for anybody's mental health.
DataHoarding.org is an index of resources and archives related to data hoarding, web archival and self hosting. It was inspired by the recent purge of online information by govenment agencies, corporations and others, and aims to provide easier access to tools and information. The goal is not only to hoard data, but parse and index it as well.
Among the mirrors they have:
- FEMA
- kernel.org
- Kiwix
- NOAA
- textfiles.com
- Youtube
The MIT Press is committed to re-imagining what a university press can be. Known for iconic design, rigorous scholarship, and creative technology, the Press advances knowledge by publishing significant works by pioneering international authors. The MIT Press is the only university press in the United States whose list is based in science and technology. This does not mean that science and technology are all we publish, but it does mean that we are committed to the edges and frontiers of the world—to exploring new fields and new modes of inquiry. We publish over 220 new books a year and over 30 journals. We are a major publishing presence in fields as diverse as art, architecture, economics, cognitive science, game studies and computer science to name just a few."
This is an easier-to-get archive of all of that project's texts at the Internet Archive.
If you’re looking for texts by, for, or about people who transverse or transcend western gender norms, you’re in the right place! Trans Reads is the world’s largest collection of free trans-focused literature. We offer a wide variety of books, essays, zines, chapters, articles, and more!
In the years since this site first launched as “Reporting by Matt Taibbi,” there have been significant changes in the national media landscape. The corporate press is dying, with once-prestigious TV channels losing audience at breakneck speed. As those organizations struggle, the explosive growth of independent podcasts and sites like Substack re-kindled interest in reporting generally. One of the reasons virtually all the reporters on the #TwitterFiles story came from Substack was due to our indepdent status. While corporate outlets forgot how essential the building of trust is in maintaining faithful audiences, independents on sites like Substack have no choice but to pay close attention to the problem, succeeding only through the slow process of building relationships with subscribers over periods of years.
Rest of World is a nonprofit publication that challenges expectations about whose experiences with technology matter. We connect the dots across a rapidly evolving digital world, through on-the-ground reporting in places typically overlooked and underestimated.
Why “Rest of World”? It’s a corporate catchall term used in the West to designate “everyone else.” Companies use it to lump together people and markets outside wealthy Western countries. We like the term because it encapsulates the problems we fight head-on: a casual disregard for billions of people, and a Western-centric worldview that leaves an unthinkable number of insights, opportunities, and nuances out of the global conversation.
I don't know if there's an RSS feed or an API. I need to investigate.

The cryptocurrency industry has been throwing money into politics unlike ever before, and that’s even after political donations from the industry skyrocketed in the 2022 election cycle. Despite the relatively small size of the industry, it has become one of the biggest spenders in the upcoming elections in the United States.
Cryptocurrency companies have raised hundreds of millions of dollars to put towards buying crypto-friendly politicians and ousting those who have spoken up for stricter regulations to protect consumers in an industry that is fraught with hacks, scams, and fraud. Although parts of the industry have tried to portray this as a grassroots effort, the reality is that a very small number of crypto companies, and the billionaire executives and venture capitalists behind them, are spending millions with a singular goal: to obtain favorable crypto policy, no matter the cost.
