Trump supporters assaulting a black studentĀ on Tuesday looks eerily similar toĀ white students protesting the integration of Central High School in 1957.
This fucking bullshit. That girl is so brave.
this scares me so bad. Please please please vote people. I am more scared of what Trumpās election would do to empower racist and sexist Americans than what Trump himself can do. Washington might be able to to keep Trump in check but what about his followers?

The South Korean govt. is trying to gather and control private information of the citizens, much like how the FBI tried to make Apple gather iPhone usersā private information.
the ģėė¦¬ė¹ (a political party in south korea) passed the law so currently the politicians from the ėė¶ģ“ėÆ¼ģ£¼ė¹ (another political party in south korea) are doing a filibuster to stop the law from being passed, so please go watch the live stream or at least have it play in the background if you can.
Guys, PLEASE spare just a few minutes to have a good read through this post. People have been speaking non-stop for more than 25 hours and will be for hundreds more for awareness.
I am honestly sorry for this non-fandom and strictly political post but this is related to my home country and is what seriously needs some awareness.
The Korean government is attempting to pass an anti-terrorism law. Doesnāt seem so bad, right? This will allow the National Intelligence Service to track and control the citizensā private informationāwithout consent.
This means that they can legally scroll through my emails, read my texts and see what I go through on Tumblr. They can legally wiretap my calls, gather my credit card information, eavesdrop on my Skype calls and browse my chat historyāwithout my consent.
Why allow them access to such personal information (possibility of misuse: *holds shining neon placard and screams in your face*)?Ā The Intelligence Service will filter for content that is anti-governmental in order to delete them and threaten me with, letās say, my AO3 browsing history. Or in other adultsā case, their bank accounts and credit information. Because, like, speaking against the government? That is just outrageous! How dare someone criticise what the government is doing?
To hell with that. This isnāt an anti-terrorism law. This is permission to carry out a legal public inspection. Oppressing opinions by deleting articles and threatening individuals will weaken the publicsā sense of impartiality. The government will reign with power no different from dictatorship.
Adding on, no information is stated on when and under what circumstances will the Intelligence Agency be allowed to go through the citizensā private information. To me and many others, this seems like extremely fishy business.
Whatās worse is that the political party currently in office has been attempting to pass this lawāwithout consent.
This cannot pass. This is not for the publicās safetyānot when the true intention looms before our eyes. This is just legalising privacy infringement and the oppression of public opinion.
Apparently the parties out of office think the same. Because they are carrying out a filibuster as I type.
filibuster |ĖfÉŖlÉŖbŹstÉ|
noun
1 an action such as prolonged speaking which obstructs progress in a legislative assembly in a way that does not technically contravene the required procedures.
Through a filibuster, one can legally prevent the majority from having their own way with the law by stalling the session. March 10th is when the National Assemblyās term of office expires, which means that no new laws can be passed after that date.Ā
The opposed partyās plan is to keep speaking non-stop until March 10th. This makes about roughly 300 hours. There are less than 130 representatives who are not in the party in office, which means that each person needs to speak non-stop for at least three and a half hours. Even a minute of break or going off topic during the speech is prohibited. Not even a bathroom break. Once a speaker gets off the podium, he or she cannot take the floor again.
Representative Su Mi Eun has so far broken the national record for the longest speech made in a session by speaking non-stop for 10 hours and 18 minutes from 2:30AM to 12:48PM on the 24th. At this moment, representative Won Seok Park is speaking as the fourth speaker.
President Park has shown no will to make any changes to the anti-terrorism law itself, but has instead shownĀ ādeep lamentā regarding this ongoing filibuster and said thatĀ āthis appalling situation has never been shown in other countriesā whilst repeatedly slamming her desk.
Amusingly, (this may cost me a trip to jail and back bye in advance, guys) in S2EP17 of West Wing, there is a line with a rather contrary point of view.Ā
āGuys. Iām sorry. But you know what?
Listen, Seriously. Youāre looking at democracy at work.
Itās a beautiful thing.ā
āC.J. Cregg
Thanks, C.J.
The moment the members stop speaking, this law will go into vote. The party in officeāthe majorityāwill vote for this and the law will pass.
Most of you who are reading this probably wonāt even be Korean citizens. You might wonder, āWait, the key is that the representatives keep on talking. Why are you even concerned in the first place?ā Wrong. They are making speeches not only to dispel this law, but also to raise public awareness on it.
Please, please do. I know many of you may have scrolled past this post without reading it. I also know that many of you may not reblog this because it goes against your blog. But itās okay. Just the fact that you ran into this issue can contribute. Because out of all that has happened so far in Korea, this must not go unnoticed.Ā All I want is to raise awareness. To give some attention to this outrage, and to those who are trying their best to combat it.
I sincerely thank you for reading this, whoever you are.
And lastly,
Keep speaking, Korea.
please reblog if you can and help raise awareness.
Minjoo Party lawmaker Eun Soo-mi is greeted by her colleagues after she spoke for 10 hours and 18 minutes in the National Assembly as part of a filibuster to block the passage of anti-terror legislation, Feb. 24, 2016. Eun has lingering health problems from her arrest and torture in 1992 by the KCIA. She also later contracted tuberculosis.

Right now in Korean politics:
The Korean senate is about to pass the Terrorism Prevention Act, a bill basically written from the model of the US Patriot Act and the minority liberal party has decided to filibuster.
They started February 23rd 7:05 PM (KST) and they have to maintain the filibuster till March 10th.
Thatās over 15 days of filibustering. The first speaker just finished after 5and a half hoursā¦
The law includes causes for the NIS (the equivalent of the Korean CIA or NSA) to be allowed to, if they āsuspect someone of being a terroristā, tap phones, intercept text and kakaotalk etc messages, freeze all of their financial activity and assets in Korea, and place them on a no fly list to prevent them from entering or exiting the country.
Thereās no discussion of what evidence or requirements needed for labeling someone a suspect and considering that the NIS has been implicated in election fraud in order to get Park Geunhye elected alongside Park saying protestors shouldnāt wear masks because only terrorists wear masks with regards to the 민ģ¤ģ“ź¶źø° ėķ protests late last year, speculation that the vagueness of this law, if passed, will be used to target political opposition to the Park administration.
Updates and clarification: Currently speaking is senator Eun Sumi. She took the floor at 2:30 AM this morning and is currently still speaking, having gone over slightly longer than 9 and a half hours.
The Korean senate rules state that all filibustering must be on topic with the law being debated.
While the liberal party says they have enough speakers lined up to filibuster till March 10th, with 50 days left till the senate elections the actual agreed date of voting is the 26th of February.
The current speaker, Eun Sumi has broken 10 hours of speaking.
Eun Sumi was arrested and held as a political prisoner for 6 years in 1992. She also was tortured by the NIS during her time as a political prisoner, which she states is one of her reasons for opposing the expansion of power the Terrorism Prevention Act will grant the NIS.
please God do not let them pass this. Send strength, perseverance and thanks to the speakers
