WATCH: What is happening at Taiwanese medtech company Taidoc, & how are women migrant workers fighting for their rights?

Good points. Last year, I highlighted that the financial and personnel stresses brought on by the attempts to use KMT membership rolls (some deceased) to pad out recall signature forms against DPP lawmakers that led to widespread arrests could impact both this year. 1/2

this book claims to document the daily life of israelis "under iranian missile fire," is written by a taiwanese zionist (who runs the page "LA jewish street blog"), and has been endorsed by puma shen (dpp taipei mayor candidate) and yang shuang-zi (author of taiwan travelogue)

i was once invited to speak at a forum on russian colonialism and stupidly didn't do my research on the other speakers before accepting. there was a japanese man on my panel whose spiel boiled down to "russian colonialism is bad, unlike our colonisation of taiwan, which was good"

Given the absolutely simpering collusion between Russian and American imperialism, presumably Tankies will have some sort of awakening. Unless the objection was only ever to the flag on the empire.

Five people were arrested in Taiwan after they were hired to attack a stand-up comedian with a car on the street. The comedian had made jokes about Xi Jinping months earlier. We must stand together to condemn the CCP’s transnational repression worldwide.

This is an alarming case that reflects the extent of China's attempt to silence dissent inside Taiwan:
"Prosecutors in Taiwan have indicted five people for allegedly trying to injure a comedian who mocks the Chinese Communist Party and President Xi Jinping as part of his act.
The five suspects in Taiwan are accused of accepting NT$450,000 ($13,900) from some Chinese people to “break arms and legs” of comedian Huang Yihao’s, Taiwan’s national news agency CNA reported Wednesday."

Very well reported story on how new Starbucks in Urumchi stands on property confiscated from a private Uyghur company during mass internment / incarceration campaign a few years ago. Taken and sold at auction to a single state company bidder. kozet.org/starbucks-urumqi-s…

Hot take: Every non-Chinese user with the🇨🇳party-state flag in their username/bio is an anti-Chinese racist until proven otherwise
Nobody forced you to stan the political entity responsible for the most Chinese civilian deaths in history (including members of my extended family)

PLEASE SHARE WIDELY. Today in Lviv military veteran Vladyslav Starodubstev (who now works in veterans' rehabilitation) was assaulted by a gang of far-right thugs. He was about to give a talk about the history of the Lviv left 🧵

Ishchenko has to be committed to smearing one of the bravest contemporary Ukrainian leftists, who actually fought back a fascist invasion, in defence of his comrades, his country & the democratic rights of his compatriots, because not doing so exposes him as the fraud he is.

As I have said, and again, do not use this word lightly, Volodymyr Ishchenko is a pro-Russian traitor who defends fascist Russians and attacks leftist Ukrainians. His entire activism is dedicated to the destruction of Ukraine as a sovereign independent nation.

A small request to foreign journalists working in Ukraine: ask the Lviv City Council and the Holos party why their former council member led a group of men in attacking a 24-year-old guy who just wanted to give a lecture
Without pressure, this case will be swept under the rug
My friend Vlad Starodubtsev, a Ukrainian veteran and historian, was beaten up in Lviv today by a group of far-right thugs for trying to give a history lecture.
According to Social Movement, a Ukrainian democratic socialist organization, about 20 of them attacked him in broad daylight, just before the talk was supposed to start at the group's office near Lviv University. The lecture was on the history of the labor and socialist movement in Galicia.
This is an attack on the freedom of speech that journalists, academics and activists depend on. It's vital that attention be drawn to this issue so that authorities take appropriate action. If you are journalist reading this, please consider covering it, and following up with authorities.
