I wrote a thread about the insurrection in South Korea, which received significant attention. However, with so much news pouring in and the situation changing by the minute, I decided to stop updating that thread. Instead, I am starting new threads on a few specific topics.

Was asked to interview for a western media outlet and they were like "and has the impeachment vote awakened the women into political consciousness" and I was like ???

Went to sleep at 7 am, woke up at noon, here's what I missed:

—Cho Kuk's party has presented impeachment bill. Main opposition party also plan to do so before EOD
—Chief of Staff and other senior secretaries have resigned. Cabinet itself still in talks about resigning
