Senegal, Malawi, and Ghana are freezing mineral contracts and expelling legacy European mining companies. Ghana just led a UN resolution naming the slave trade as the gravest crime against humanity. Zimbabwe rejected $367M in U.S. health funding because the strings attached touched data sovereignty. Africa is practicing sovereignty while the West is distracted.
Meanwhile at home — Mamdani might actually save New York from this Iran war (we said what we said), Ozempic studies are showing 75% of the weight comes back within a year, Delta cut its luxury division for Congress members until TSA gets paid, and ICE is being weaponized against roofers who already finished the job. We close with how we’re prioritizing health and headspace through all of it.
