Protesting terrible people is a great way to make friends with awesome people!
on the one-year anniversary of the 12.3 failed coup in South Korea, Hankyoreh did this nice feature of young Koreans -- including those in working class, disabled, LGBTQ+ spaces -- who joined in the mass protests and whose lives have been shaped by it since english.hani.co.kr/arti/english...
A year after martial law crisis, Koreans carry on the fight for a better tomorrow
Korea’s mass protests after the martial law crisis created new communities and bonds of solidarity across the country that continue to this day.

In the year that the Univ of California won 5 Nobel Prizes (its highest), public research has been decimated by rescission and more.
California needs to step up to maintain the research community that supports our modern way of life.

I scrolled through the @1stforall.bsky.social's gallery of print front pages for local coverage of "No Kings" protests. Here are some of the standout papers, starting with the Daily Sentinel of Grand Junction, Colorado:

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.

He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

The brave #FEMA36 spoke out about Trump and Noem's cuts debilitating emergency response.

Instead of reversing course and restoring life-saving funding, Noem is retaliating against FEMA employees, issuing suspensions and NDA-cloaked 'investigations' without counsel or union reps.

My new op-ed with @lkfazio.bsky.social:

Trump sent a 'compact' to our universities. They should reject this devil's bargain.
Any institution that yields to these broad and intrusive demands would forever be subservient to the whims of the government.

Trump to generals: "Last month, I signed an executive order to provide training for a quick reaction force that can help quell civil disturbances. This is gonna be a big thing for the people in this room, because it's the enemy from within & we have to handle it before it gets out of control"

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
