The IMF and the Limits of Sovereigntism
The Sahelian juntas have separated themselves from much of the Western establishment, with one glaring exception. A different story is playing out in civilian-ruled Senegal.

This was a lot of fun, and I'm grateful to
@dwdavison.bsky.social
and
@dbessner.bsky.social
for having me on. It helped me develop my thoughts a bit further, which was really valuable. There are a few things I wish I'd mentioned about the "liberal international order" as an analytical framework. đź§µ

Trump calling the pope "weak on crime" is unfortunately a great bit, but we'll see better as the feud progresses. Trump only really has so many rhetorical moves at this point and is rapidly regressing into fey Broadway insults, but we could see "he's losing his 'look'" and "his 'hat' doesn't play."

If the Israeli Knesset members' lapel pins shaped as little nooses isn't where you say peace-out to that fascist state, you're just carrying residual nostalgia for some fantasy version of Israel that exists only in your head.

Trump is trying to say the Strait of Hormuz isn't the US' problem because the outcome of this war is no longer in doubt. It's past time to say that straightforwardly, since we're in for a tidal wave of obfuscation to portray defeat as victory.

I’ve been a journalist for 27 years. I’ve reported major stories about mass surveillance, torture, war, the military-industrial complex, police black sites, etc. But this is the most important story I’ve ever had the horror/honor to work on. For it is a story about the current phase of a genocide.

Months into a supposed ceasefire in Gaza, doctors still have to smuggle in basic medical supplies—and treat new casualties of war.
