Investigative journalist writes fiction as current events, calls it journalism

How to Survive the Broligarchy The Threat from America America is not our enemy, but it's a danger to itself and the world Carole Cadwalladr Jan 03, 2026 A note on who I am and what I’m doing: I’m an investigative journalist who exposed the 2018 Cambridge Analytica scandal for the Guardian and New York Times and I believe that we are in the grip of a new form of power: Broligarchy. The alliance of Silicon Valley, the US state and a global axis of autocracy is a threat that I’m committed to exposing. I woke up this morning with a clear idea of something I wanted to write before ‘back to school’ Monday. But then I opened my phone and saw that the USA has gone full rogue state. And since I started writing this, President Trump has claimed responsibility for a series of explosions on military bases across Venezuela. Even more extraordinarily, he announced via his social media platform, Truth Social, that he’s captured President Maduro and his wife and exfiltrated them to the US.
