Totally thrilled and humbled to have won the Maria Moors Cabot Prize for journalism. It's been a rocky road of 21 years, 1000+ stories, three books, stress, adrenaline, and covering too much bloodshed, tears, beauty and heroism. This recognition means a million dollars to me.

Gang Murder in the UK I talk to gangs in London, who stab way more than they shoot. “With the gun it’s a press of a trigger. With a knife you literally have to go up to someone and indulge your knife inside them. And to do so you have to be a savage.”↓ crashoutmedia.com/p/gang-murder-…


Most will agree with slashing government waste. But having the world's richest man as a major gov't contractor, controling this crucial social network and in a position as government anti waste tsar is clearly a dangerous concentration of power that leads the way to chumocracy.

Great point. The idea that Latinos are more sexist so moved away from Kamala is nuts. Mexico just overwhelmingly elected a female president - and just the latest in Latin América.

Racial stereotypes is not a strategy, its an excuse. Elected female Latin American presidents: 🇦🇷Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (2007–2015) 🇧🇷Dilma Rousseff (2011–2016) 🇨🇱Michelle Bachelet (2006–2010, 2014–2018) 🇨🇷Laura Chinchilla (2010–2014) 🇭🇳Xiomara Castro (2022–present)…

Se confirman 10 personas asesinadas y por lo menos 9 heridas en pleno centro de Querétaro, en el Bar Los Cantaritos. No recuerdo una masacre así en este estado, creo que jamás había sucedido algo semejante. Gobierno estatal y federal... en silencio, no dicen nada. ¿Vamos bien?

What Trump 2.0 Means For Mexico: He will pressure Sheinbaum on migrants; could there be military strikes on cartels? - by ⁦@ioangrillocrashoutmedia.com/p/what-trump-2…


I think U.S. stars are going to quickly realize that the UK is not a great place to escape to. I love Britain but it's in quite a pesimistic place right now...

Additional videos of the Mexican Air Force intercepting a Cessna aircraft yesterday in Durango. This follows Los Chapitos bombing Tamazula with such aircraft within the last couple of weeks.

What Trump 2.0 means for Mexico. Trump's victory owed much to concerns over "The Border." He'll pressure Claudia Sheinbaum to use the Mexican army more consistently against migrants. And US military strikes against cartels are a real possibilty. Read: crashoutmedia.com/p/what-trump-2…


Ioan Grillo Reposted

Claudia Sheinbaum said she would wait for the U.S. vote count to congratulate Trump and it wouldn't be today. But a few hours later, she congratulated him. Feeling the pressure?

Aquí va el reportaje en español. Trump presionaré a Claudia Sheinbaum para que utilice de manera más con consistente el ejército mexicano contra los migrantes. Y los ataques militares estadounidenses contra los carteles son una posibilidad real. Léelo: crashoutmedia.com/p/lo-que-trump…
