You always reach a point in the brilliant writings of @sarahkendzior.bsky.social when you realise this is what American journalism at this moment should be like, and instead it's mostly bog-standard corporate hackery. And that's the "good" stuff.
"I've written two books about the nexus of government and organized crime. As a result, I live under a double bill of apprehension: They'll catch me too early, and you'll catch on too late."

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press
4) Wait for the US president to enforce your wish list on your victim.

Massive health care cuts. Catastrophic tariffs raising the prices of everything.

A weaker economy and tougher job market for American workers.

This is unleashing the Golden Age?
🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

He may be demolishing one of the most iconic structures in American history…

But on the bright side, the billionaires he gave massive tax cuts to will have a nice ballroom to dance in.

You’re not invited, though. 🫤

And your healthcare premiums are going to skyrocket. 🤷‍♂️

According to independent investigations by Colombian media, nearly every "fact" that Hegseth reported about the Sep 15 attack was wrong. Most significantly, the attack occurred in Colombian territorial waters, meaning it is subject to the jurisdiction of the ICC whether Hegseth likes that or not.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"
