Catching up on the #PandoraPapers? In the week since our 600+ journalism partners began publishing revelations from history's biggest offshore data leak, we’ve seen fallout all around the world.
Here’s a quick walk-through of key findings. #SundayRead 🧵

First of all, what do we mean by “offshore”?
The #PandoraPapers kick the door open on a secretive financial system that allows the wealthy and well-connected to set up covert companies across borders in tax havens, where the ownership of money and assets can be easily hidden.

While there has been a lot of attention in recent years devoted to white nationalist and fake news websites, their audiences are dwarfed by Christian fundamentalist media companies.
Almost all of them are linked to a secretive group called the Council for National Policy

My favorite: @SidrahMay wrote about being a visibly Muslim woman in Canada as a "stereotype-busting-Muslim-girl PR job" she's taken on since childhood. The exhaustion she so beautifully describes feels familiar. In @thismagazine
