DIVEST FROM FASCISTS
Danish pension fund AkademikerPension just said it would sell off its U.S. Treasuries, worth ~$100 million, by the end of January. It attributed the move to weak U.S. government finances, but it seems hard to believe Trump‘s demented threats weren’t a factor. Will others follow?

& FTR, it was a huge public outcry that forced Canadian company Patterson Group to cancel the sale to ICE.
You know what warehouses don’t have? Adequate plumbing for large numbers of detainees.
BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.
This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people.
