In 1924, Hachiko, an Akita Inu, came to Tokyo with his owner, Professor Hidesaburo Ueno of the University of Tokyo. Every morning, Hachiko walked with him to Shibuya Station, and every afternoon he returned to meet him after work.
But in May 1925, Professor Ueno died suddenly and never came home.
Hachiko was taken in by another family, but he continued returning to Shibuya Station, waiting for the man he loved. For almost 10 years, he came back again and again — through rain, snow, and countless ordinary days.
Hachiko died in 1935. By then, his story had become known throughout Japan, and a bronze statue was erected at Shibuya Station in 1934, while Hachiko was still alive.
Today, the statue remains one of Tokyo’s most recognizable landmarks — a quiet reminder of a dog who simply kept waiting for the person he loved. ❤️

Almost 20 years after he sent me to Iraq, I disrupted George W. Bush’s speech tonight. I tried to read a list of names, mostly of Iraqis killed, as well as my friends who became anti-war activists after Iraq who then died of suicide or other war wounds. (They ripped up my list)
Bombing a school is a war crime. Bombing a hospital is a war crime. Bombing news outlets is a war crime. Firing rockets at civilians is *also* a war crime.
If we believe in human rights, we should hold anyone who commits war crimes fully accountable.
