This is a story two years in the making: a punishing health and environmental crisis that is sickening an island on which America's security relies. So proud that it's finally in the world. Give it a read:

A humanitarian crisis afflicts Ebeye, a community the US created in the 1950s, and whose labor it depends on to run an army base on the island of Kwajalein that America calls a ‘vital national asset’ reut.rs/4gziuDi @PeterTMcKenzie @hollieaadams

“He placed a seedling in the parched yellow dirt, took out a bottle of Fiji Water, and sprinkled its contents over the soil. Although he was ten thousand miles from the island where he lived, this was a moment of homecoming.” —@PeterTMcKenzie harpers.org/archive/2025/0…

My bizarre journey into a Korean cult’s Fijian empire, complete with ice-cream, organic vegetables, slavery and assault. Check out this bonkers yarn in @TheEconomist — with stellar editing by @kyliexwarner and beautiful photography by @maxmashu

Since it arrived in Fiji in 2013, Grace Road has been accused by police of enslaving its 400-odd followers to work in its businesses, abusing them with violence and sleep deprivation, and kidnapping their family members. 1843 magazine investigates econ.st/4hPpFXF
