BREAKING: South Korean court unanimously removes Yoon from office — a huge win for the Korean peoples’ democracy movement! We look now to lasting changes: ending the 75+ year war and “permanent emergency state.”

Read more context from Executive Director Cathi Choi below ⬇️⬇️
South Korea's impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol has been indicted for insurrection.

@cathichoi.bsky.social explains the lead-up to Yoon's charges—and the role of the U.S. in "Korea’s dark history of authoritarian crackdowns."
After Failed Coup, South Korea's President Could Be Impeached Tomorrow
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law earlier this week. In response, a mass movement of South Koreans took to the streets to call for his resignation.

Really important piece on the link between MAGA and the attempted coup in South Korea. We need to watch what’s happening in South Korea; a lot of linkages to oligarchs here and the MAGA playbook.

While Yoon was barricaded inside his home, his supporters waved U.S. flags and adopted Trump’s “Stop the Steal” slogan to protest his impeachment.
