My uncle, Nam Si Uk, died today. He was the editor in chief of the Dong A Il Bo in 1987 when they exclusively reported the death of the student activist Park Jong Chul. That was a badass decision on his part, considering he'd been arrested for doing much less as a young reporter during the Park Chung Hee regime in the 1960s. He was a real journalist when it counted.

I was proud to be his niece, and I'm going to remember his example as we #fightfascism in the United States today. #southkorea

March 31, 2020 – Trump said his impeachment “probably” diverted his attention from dealing with the crisis more swiftly, a claim first made by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. “Did it divert my attention?” Trump said. “I think I’m getting A-pluses for the way I handled myself during a phony impeachment. Okay? It was a hoax. But certainly, I guess, I thought of it.”

You know you live in a democracy when the head of the far-right and would-be presidential candidate is convicted along with a few henchmen for misappropriation of public funds.

The party was also fined €2 million, including a €1 million fine.
