Sanseito, once a fringe movement, is now the fastest-growing far-right force in Japanese politics. In 2022, it shocked observers by winning a seat in the Upper House. With Japan heading to the polls in two weeks, the party could double or triple its support, both in the proportional vote and in districts around the country.

Poll numbers showing 65% of Native Americans voted for Trump was based on flawed data. Tiny sample size, only focused on voters in urban & suburban areas. Research for Indigenous Social Action & Equity surveyed 11,000 people from 401 tribes over 2 years, majority were liberal.
Replying to @rebeccanagle
Because we are a smaller and unique subset of the US population getting good date requires more resources @Edison research didn’t invest this cycle. Read more from the amazing Dr Stephanie Fryberg at @nativenews_net nativenewsonline.net/opinion…

This is a great essay that addresses a lot of what I have been struggling with, in terms of whether I vote for Harris or not.
Kamala Harris has failed to differentiate her policies from Joe Biden’s blank-check support for genocide, write @nationinterns. As such, they argue she should not have received The Nation's endorsement. bit.ly/3Aon8Dv

This was a surprisingly forthright interview for MSNBC
WATCH: Drop Site co-founder @jeremyscahill joins @AymanM on MSNBC to deliver one message: the genocide needs to stop.

This was an absolutely fantastic read, a really clear breakdown of the racist nonsense surrounding the trailer of Assassin’s Creed: Shadows.
Thrilled to share this new piece in @CriticAsianStds! I had the opportunity to collaborate with two brilliant scholars—@AkilFletcher and John G. Russell—on a commentary that addresses the controversy surrounding Assassin's Creed: Shadows.

I don’t know what more can be said to move people who still think Israel’s assault is justified.

Here is all the equipment UCPD will be requesting from the regents on the 19th. Full doc available here: regents.universityofcaliforn…
ucla is scheduled to ask the regents for kinetic energy weapons and munitions on 9/19. One of ucla’s asks is 100 rounds of def-tec 40mm munitions (#6320), which “combines blunt trauma with the effects of an irritant powder, maximizing the potential for incapacitation.”

In 1982, the poet June Jordan wrote an open letter denouncing the Zionism of her peers—especially Adrienne Rich. Rescued from the archives of Audre Lorde, who, along with a number of her peers, conspired to silence Jordan, the letter can finally be read in its entirety here.
“I claim responsibility for the Israeli crimes against humanity because I am an American & American monies made these atrocities possible,” wrote poet June Jordan in a 1982 letter to Adrienne Rich. Never before published, the full letter is now on our site newyorkwarcrimes.com/june-jo…

Danny Jin is a talented generation Z singer and a grandson of Nakba survivor. The 19-year-old Japanese-Palestinian raises awareness among the young people in Japan about Palestine under the Israeli occupation by rapping and leading protests.

Nothing to see here, just Doctors Without Borders telling you Israel is obstructing healthcare and targeting ambulances in the WEST BANK. This is part of what’s happening in Gaza because it’s an assault on Palestinian life.
The scale and intensity of Israel's four-day incursion in Jenin is very alarming. Israeli forces keep obstructing access to health facilities blocking and even targeting ambulances, delaying people’s access to care.

This is obscene
When I sometimes talk about the academic 'caste' system and the sharp line separating tenure-track and non-tenure track, this is what I mean. The TT faculty of a department met and reportedly decided, in secret, to fire all 23 of their NTT colleagues. medium.com/@tom.kealey/overv…

UK school librarians told to remove LGBTQ books, including titles like Heartstopper. This is Section 28 by the back door. You can’t teach children to be gay but you can teach them that it’s ok if they are. attitude.co.uk/culture/heart…

This is a properly deep investigation of AP3, a large right-wing militia in the U.S. It’s really worth a read, gives a measured look at how real the threat is. propublica.org/article/insid…

In other words, Israel rejects ceasefire deal, because they refuse to cease firing
