On the 80th anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing, tributes are pouring in to those who died in the tragic event, as well as the survivors.
But on this solemn occasion, one group remains largely forgotten - North Korean survivors.

A few thoughts on queer participation in the current pro-democracy rallies in South Korea: Queer visibility isn’t new in Korean social justice movements. LGBTQ communities have long been key players, challenging norms while demanding justice, equality, and accountability: 🧵

After Yoon's attempt to enact martial law, South Korea's National Union of Media Workers says it will stop referring to him as "president."

"We can no longer recognize him as a president to whom the people have entrusted sovereignty."

It has been a turbulent day in South Korea since President Yoon Suk-yeol imposed martial law, citing alleged "anti-state forces."
In my latest for @nknewsorg.bsky.social, I examined Yoon's frequent attempts to target political opponents by labelling them "pro-North."
