You can use Curl to peek at redirected URLs:

curl -I https://t.co/0BACDYaBmU

-I sends a HEAD request. Do not use -L / --location which will follow redirects. A sufficiently unique link will reveal to hosts past the redirect that youit was followed the link (spammers could use it to get an IP address or confirm that an email address is in use). Some redirectors could reveal info about visits to interested parties anyway.
