Hi, I’m Marcela: I’m a comedian, I live in Brooklyn, and I really like to tell people how to feel about the news.

My newsletter has evolved into this beautiful news column for shado which also covers international news. I hope the newsletter keeps you informed and makes you laugh a little.

In March 2021, a prosecutor trying a 10-person conspiracy to murder case at Manchester Crown Court read out some rap lyrics. They had been scrawled on a piece of paper police seized from one of the defendants’ houses when he was arrested: “I move gassed up when I got my ’chete, aimed straight for the heady, trying to put a pagan boy on tele.” These lyrics, the prosecutor said, not only helped prove the defendant’s guilt, but the guilt of all 10 boys on trial.

But in the hands of authoritarian governments, this increasing efficiency is being weaponised against vulnerable populations.
