国会の前タクシーで通ったら凄いことになってる！

Activists in Tokyo protested Japan’s National Information Council bill, condemning it as a step toward a "war state."

Thousands joined the rally, warning that the law creates a mass surveillance system.

[ハチ @yama3619]

これ冗談でもなんでもなく「法律を守っていれば死ぬ時代」になってしまったという事だな。

政治家や官僚にとっては国民なんて「赤の他人」なので、とにかく違反切符を切りまくって金を徴収するだけの金ヅルとしか見てない。

その為なら子供が死のうがどうなろうが関係ない。

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Notice how quickly all that bullshit about liberating Iranians disappeared, and now it's all about bombing them back to the Stone Age, destroying their bridges and universities, poisoning their air and water, and stealing their oil.

Japanese anti-fascists.

@OffGuardian0 @LischGary Sure. Of course it is. But in the interim between it solidifying itself into another form (right now China or the UN or whoever do not have 800 bases to project power etc.) there is a chance for real resistance. To suggest otherwise is just preemptive defeatism.

今日の国会前行動に、な、なんと24000人が集まりました。
平和を守れ！
改憲反対！
国会議員は憲法を守れ！
私達は雨にも負けず、家事や仕事にクタクタでも電車を乗り継ぎ集まった。
更に大きな集まりにして絶対に戦争は許さない！

Word of the day: (Gomasuri)
Gomasuri（ごますり / 胡麻擂り）means brown-nosing, sucking up, or flattering someone to gain favor.
Literally, it means “grinding sesame.”

A term used to describe someone who hovers around a superior, saying whatever they want to hear:
Takaichi Sanae

Israel just attempted to assassinate the great Steve Sweeney while he was reporting from Southern Lebanon

Relieved to hear Steve is recovering

The terrorist regime that has murdered hundreds of journalists over 2-3 years will never recover from this

[Kerry Burgess @KerryBurgess]

What an evil piece of shit. Do Americans realise how this sounds to the rest of the world?

Scenes outside the Prime Minister's Residence as Takaichi is about to depart for the United States.

[Jeffrey J. Hall 🇯🇵🇺🇸 @mrjeffu]

A timeline of Prime Minister Takaichi's statements about the possible dispatch of Japan's Self-Defense Forces to the Strait of Hormuz:

▪March 12 - “We cannot envision deploying the Self-Defense Forces nearby to remove mines.”

▪March 13 - “Nothing has been decided regarding dispatching the Self-Defense Forces.”

▪March 16 - “The Japanese government is currently considering how to take the necessary measures...We have not been asked by the U.S., so it is difficult to answer hypothetical questions.”

▪March 16 (later) - “No decision whatsoever has been made about dispatching escort ships.”

▪March 17 (today) ➜ “We are actively examining within the government what can be done within the bounds of what is legally possible. Depending on the mission, Diet approval may also be required.”

Takaichi will meet with Donald Trump in Washington on March 19.

@OffGuardian0 @deepfriedWA @MaxRParry @_InThisTogether This could be the case, but whatever this new power structure might eventually be it doesn't yet have 800 military bases around the world to enforce its control. Focus on getting rid of the existing empire even if we have to exploit imperialist ("globalist") rivalries to do so.

@atrupar And finally a president dumb enough to waste American dollars and manpower….

[樺島万里子 Mariko Kabashima＠海外ニュース翻訳情報局 @KNHjyohokyoku]

これが今、海外で拡散されている日本のイメージ。

海外では長い間
日本＝平和国家というブランドがあった。

原爆を経験し、
平和憲法を掲げてきた国。

だからこそ日本は
世界で一定の信頼を持たれてきた。

しかし今、海外では

「日本もアメリカの戦争に参加した」

という形で語られ始めている。

平和国家という
日本の最大のソフトパワーを

日本自身の政治が
壊している。

本当に残念でならない。

[aqua @aqua52043525]

The top comments are full of Japanese people frustrated that their media won't report on this.
Why aren't they covering it? Considering that the Japanese people don't usually protest, this is a pretty big deal.

3月10日、冷え込みの中での #平和憲法を守る0310 アクションのほぼ全景です。

今日も若い世代がたくさん参加し、ベテラン世代中心の憲法改悪反対アクションから一変しています✨

国際法違反の虐殺を容認し、殺傷武器輸出を全面解禁し、隣国攻撃ミサイルを配備する #死の商人国家 を止めましょう📢

[ポッピンココ @Coco2Poppin]

日本政府が高市自民主導で🇺🇸パランティア社と契約。CIA資金の軍事監視AIに国家機密と国民データを預け、マイナンバー+スパイ防止法で完全監視社会と高額サブスク支払いへ。欧米では人権侵害批判で導入禁止が相次ぐ企業なのに…ヤバくね⁉️

After @realDonaldTrump repeatedly threatened to annex so-called "Canada," his faithful poodle Governor @MarkJCarney wags his tail while giving full support to the American-"Israeli" war of aggression against Iran.
