Olá a todos do Brasil 🇧🇷 🎀
Sou um cartunista de esquerda do Japão.
Por favor, assistam a este vídeo. Toda semana, faço uma manifestação sozinho na estação!
Quero proteger as pessoas e o meio ambiente da destruição, ocupação e tirania capitalista, em solidariedade com os esquerdistas de todo o mundo. Por favor, solidarizem-se comigo 🌏🌏
Please help me!
To all left-wing artists around the world, and to everyone on the left worldwide: I need your help!
This Saturday, October 31, we are organizing a large-scale anti-racist street demonstration at the Southeast Exit of Shinjuku Station in Tokyo, Japan.
I want to display your anti-racist and anti-fascist artwork on the streets of Tokyo!
Japan is now dangerously moving back toward the kind of fascist state it was before World War II. The situation is extremely alarming.
I am a Japanese left-wing artist, and every single day, I take to the streets to fight racism and fascism through art and public expression.
I believe one of the biggest reasons fascism is gaining ground in Japan is that this country remains deeply isolated, both physically and in terms of information.
Japan needs to hear voices from outside. Japan needs to see artistic expressions from around the world. Japan must be seen and judged for what it really is, through the eyes of people beyond its borders.
That is why I want to bring your artwork into the streets of Japan!
Feel free to criticize, ridicule, or absolutely tear apart Japanese racism and the Japanese far-right internet trolls known as netouyo.
I have only one condition:
Please do not use atomic bombs as a joke or a way to mock Japan in your artwork.
Apart from that, I welcome virtually any kind of artwork, and I want to display as many submissions as possible on the streets!
Please use these hashtags:
#NETOUYOAHO #NETOUYOART
For those unfamiliar with the term, netouyo refers to Japanese far-right internet trolls, a particularly nasty breed of online reactionaries.
Let's take on the racism.
Artists of the world, let your voices be heard in Tokyo!
Solidarity across borders!

SIR PATRICK STEWART (1940-2026)
Before everything else, Patrick was defined by being born and bred in Yorkshire, the proud county in the north of England which he loved to the end. You could hear it in his accented voice and in the stern honesty with which he told you what he thought and felt. Yorkshiremen have no truck with half-truths or avoidance of big issues. He wore his heart on his sleeve, which made him a man to rely on, to admire and in my case, love.
We first met as ambitious young actors with the Royal Shakespeare Company half a century ago but we weren’t in the same productions. My first strong memory was a few years later, meeting him in the street in central London when he told me about an offer to take over a leading part in 'Star Trek'. “But Patrick think of your stage career in the UK. Do you really want to risk—getting lost in Hollywood for years and years?”. Well, he took the risk and thank goodness for us all that he did for not just his devoted Trekkies but film and theatre audiences, who marvelled at his using international celebrity to star in a string of cinema successes ('X-Men' of course) and in great classical plays by Shakespeare, Ibsen, Arthur Miller, Peter Shaffer, Pinter and Beckett at Stratford-upon-Avon, in London’s West End and on Broadway.
America was his adopted home, where he met his adored Sunny who has cared for him through sickness and health, through thick and thin. But he never forsook his origins: and the proudest achievement of the most respected and beloved actor of his generation on either side of the Atlantic, was his appointment as Chancellor of Huddersfield University in Yorkshire.
His farewell performance in 'Avengers: Doomsday' is yet to be seen.
