＜経済安保保護法案 与党部会が了承 何が機密かあいまい 漏えいなら最高5年拘禁＞東京新聞

#特定秘密保護法 の「経済安保版」。
#大川原化工機 の冤罪事件でも露呈したが、何が罪か、は捜査当局が示威的に判断しがち。
自公両党は法案をわずか「1時間」の審査で素通し・・・。

Before jumping over the security barricade & being detained by police, to slow construction of the monstrous US military Henoko base, she yelled to our boat in English: “Together we protect the ocean!”

It's no wonder that Blinken backs up Japan here; it was the US that pushed nuclear power on Japan back in the 50's, in order to prettify "nuclear" after US H-bomb testing that harmed Japanese fishermen led to an uproar.

To celebrate Jan 22, the day the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) enters into effect, people who believe Nuclear Free world will deliver roses to missions to the UN of the 51 state parties that ratified the Treaty in order to show our appreciation to them.

Julian #Assange has been discharged by the judge at the Old Bailey on grounds that he was too great a suicide risk if extradited to the US. This is wonderful! It's a face-saving cover for the British to justify their disgraceful political trial of #Assange on America's behalf.

Trump committed a crime under Georgia law -- criminal solicitation of election fraud. As the Supreme Court held in Trump v. Vance (2020), a sitting president is subject to criminal process. So when he enters Georgia, he can be arrested and charged.

たった数日間のスポーツ興行イベントが、あたかも「アスリートの聖なる祝祭」であるかのように勘違いし、感染症で医療現場が過酷な状況にある中で、国民の税金を兆単位で注ぎ込む行為のおかしさに気づかない国民は、正常な判断力を失っている。

命と五輪、どっちが大事かと頭を冷やさ��いといけない。

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Pardoning war criminals, needlessly executing people on death row, and pardoning people convicted of crimes that protected him? I’ve never seen such a morally depraved perversion of presidential pardoning powers.

I’m sick to my stomach.

While Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans refused to provide adequate relief for working families facing economic desperation, they had no problem giving a $5 billion, 100% tax deduction to CEOs for a 3-martini lunch. You got it. The GOP loves corporate socialism for the rich.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Providing a measly $600 check to survive the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression while doling out more than $1,000,000 per minute to the Pentagon is the real looting in America.

My mom was admitted to the hospital tonight. Two days ago she tested positive for COVID. After a couple days of mild symptoms, her oxygen levels fell dangerously low. She’s getting treatment and am optimistic.

If you’re the spiritual type, please keep her in your prayers.
