"The river flows, flows to the sea. Where ever that river goes that's where I want to be. All she wanted was just to be free. And that's the way it turned out to be. Flow, river flow, let your waters wash down. Take me from this road to some other town."💔youtube.com/watch?v=ICe9zb…

Hey friends in Japan - you might be interested in this NHK documentary about my best friend from Tokyo Alan Gleason and the "Project Gen" he helped start to translate the fantastic manga tale about a family in Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, "Barefoot Gen." nhk.jp/p/ts/P1124VMJ6…
Good morning from the mighty, mighty nurses at @SaintAgnesMD who are on strike — the first-ever nurse hospital strike in Baltimore! We out here today to tell management: Stop prioritizing your bottom line over our patients and community.
Really excellent reporting here from More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS.
Union Pacific railroad is in talks with Norfolk Southern for a mega merger to make one massive company. The two are already giants worth about $200 billion combined. Rail consolidation has already led to more accidents, more payout to investors, and worse working conditions.
Shame on @nknewsorg for running this smear & hit piece on this week's "People's Summit" on Korea w/o seeking comment from the organizers or its many speakers. It's blatant: not long ago, NKNews interviewed speaker Cathi Choi of @WomenCrossDMZ. Unavailable? nknews.org/2025/07/a-new-…
Oh god. Same old imperialist stuff, for years and years, they just can't get over themselves, these think-tankies.

The American adviser to the new Japanese party of xenophobia and racism.
A foreigner served as an advisor for the "Japan First" party: Matt Braynard, an former Trump campaign staffer who founded Look Back America, an organization that supported the January 6 defendants, appeared on OAN as a "Sanseito party advisor."
You are a pathetic coward @GordonGChang and fully exposed as the premiere American supporter of the would-be martial law dictator Yoon Suk-yeol, who was removed by the largest democratic movement you have ever seen and will soon be in jail for treason. Congratulations, FashG!
.@thehill @AEI Do you support this McCarthyite smears by your associates @GordonGChang and Lawrence Peck on Korean Americans participating in First Amendment protected activities? @thehill, Chang's charges that they are "supporters of terrorism" are libelous - will you run them?
A vicious, scurrilous attack by the fascist and cowardly @GordonGChang on the Korean American organizations involved in this weekend's "People Summit" on Korea in NYC. I know several people on X who work with Chang - you know who you are. You should urge him to stop his lies. 👇
'Is Your Neighbor a Kluxer?' — American anti-KKK pamphlet published in 1923 by the American Unity League.
In 1969, during Park Chung-hee’s regime, a stationery company executive was indicted under the Anti-Communist Law for naming crayons 'Picasso 피카소.' The Anti-Communist Law was later absorbed into the National Security Law in 1980.
Park Jung-geun's nightmare began when he jokingly retweeted a N. Korean propaganda post. The 24-year-old was arrested under the National Security Law for "praising North Korea". 2 yr later,the Supreme Court confirmed his acquittal, clearing him of National Security Law charges.

The casual racism of Japan’s #Sanseito party isn’t heart-warming—but their push to revive 1925 “Peace Preservation Laws”: downright bone-chilling If you think it's just about good-old fashioned nationalism, you're not paying attention @UnseenJapanSite substack.com/home/post/p-16…

South Korea has a communist sympathizer as a president, who is fast purging institutions of opposition to his rule. Conservatives are taking to the streets to save their society. Who will help them preserve freedom?
Global harassment is exactly what aggressive Zionists abroad deserve. 👍
