Randahl Fink4 hours ago, Yoon Suk Yeol — the very unpopular president of South Korea — declared martial law, which would prevent the people from protesting his rule.
Luckily, the South Korean people responded by flooding the streets, and now the South Korean parliament has voted to declare the martial law illegal, and as a result military forces are pulling back.
Since 2022, Yoon Suk Yeol’s approval rating has dropped from over 50 percent to around 25 percent.
Update: President has also called it off.
myrmepropagandistI have reduced the time I spend following politics to an extreme degree and I feel much better. I have more time for my own projects and I feel like the ways that I’m engaging in political actions, however small, are just as well informed.
So much news is just six guys who keep repeating “It could be A or B or even Q. Who knows. Stay tuned.” over and over. You think they will do an analysis and give you a prediction but they are so bad at doing that. Huge waste of time.

Ricki Yasha TarrThis is my message to women, minorities, LGBTQ+, Disabled people, ect. Ruin their lives, tell on them, show them actions have consequences.

evacideI have said this before, but it's worth repeating: in times of crisis it is easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer number of outrages that call for your attention. Pick your issue. Pick the corner of the world that you are going to defend and fight for that. If you try to fight everything all the time, you will burn out real fast.
Kata good read today, from @charliejane: “escapist fiction is about liberation, and imagining a happier, more just world is a direct assault on the forces that are trying to break your heart.”

Matthew HaugheyThis is the most unhinged thing I’ll see today.
California voted to keep slavery in their prisons. In 2024. This happened.
