Ishiba will hold a press conference at 6pm

Some say he’s going to resign and retire, others that he will resign but also make a bid for re-election in a leadership election

We won’t know for sure until 6pm

Apparently the rebels have sufficient numbers to call an early leadership election

Ishiba just met with Suga and Koizumi

Now the options are 1) resign before the 8th; 2) call a snap general election; 3) make a bid for leadership re-election but if he loses call a snap; 4) not run but back Koizumi

i can at least explain the africa > homepill bit

these ppl believe its no accident the hometown initiative announcement and the approval of over-the-counter sale of morning after pill happened around the same time

they believe the govt did the latter to manage increased rape by hometown immigrants

Contrary to the image of Korea as a largely self-contained country until its economy became global during the 1990s, this book shows that transnationalism has firmly been part of modern Korea’s nation...

Sanseito is experiencing growing pains as they don’t have enough aides for their 14 new diet members

According to Gendai, the candidate pool — ex-aides to LDP candidates who lost — are reluctant to apply because they fear having to draft insane diet questions www.nikkan-gendai.com/articles/vie...

ICE detains a violinist who has played with the Utah Symphony and is involved with the Chamber Music Society of Salt Lake. Apparently this is what Trump means when he's saying countries aren't sending their best:
Loved ones shocked, worried after beloved Utah violinist detained by ICE
Friends and family are reacting after Utah violinist John Shin was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Monday.

even at the jcp matsuri event the video was filmed at, a lot of the invited guest speakers were not party members but rather allies

and the ppl who came to the event were not all jcp members either, esp young ppl were from other left parties or unaffiliated

becoming a duepaying member is a big ask

its true the jcp has in recent years given gender equality a very prominent position their policy platform and basically run as a women's party, but key party roles are still filled by mostly men and they rely a lot on free labour which makes it a stifling environment for young members

so okay! first piece out from me at Common Wealth

"Beyond Bidenomics: On what is living and what is dead in economic policy"

the argument is that progressives should take credit for the successful parts of the pandemic policy response and build the next Thing

「戦没者の命は尊い」
→命は尊いという意味では正しい。ただし、無謀な戦争のための犠牲となった戦没者の「死」は、決して尊いものではない

「先人の礎の上に今の平和がある」
→これも正しい。ただし、ここの「先人」は戦没者ではなく、焼け野原から新たな礎を築き、復興に努めた生存者たちである

Ishiba is similar to Abe in that his cabinet’s approval rating consistently stays above that of his party www.nikkei.com/article/DGXZ...

Another similarity, of course, is that Abe also tried to stay on as PM after the Upper House election loss in 2007

An interview with Nikkei Asia on Sanseito. Full discolure: I didn’t actually realize this was going to be a long-form video and was mostly trying to hit sound bites. But good experience to be thrown into the deep end these past few weeks of Sanseito coverage. youtu.be/s3K1lzia4eM?...
