It matters that scientists speak out against what is being done to US science. Staying silent is neither "objective" nor "staying out of politics". Silence now *is* political - it supports the status quo, says "nothing to worry about". We need to sound the alarm. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The DOGE website is reportedly hosted on non-government servers, not secured against database attacks and can be easily defaced, 404 reports www.404media.co/anyone-can-p...

Treasury has frozen National Endowment for Democracy funds, putting North Korean human groups under threat. NGOs warn they’ll be forced to shut down within months, cutting off vital support for defectors and human rights advocacy.

This is why political scientists are beyond worried…

Maybe there is something to learn from other states where people continue to resist and push back against authoritarianism, even if authoritarian gvts keep coming back. In 2021 I published a book about a comparison of Skorea, Peru, and Uruguay and transitional justice.

For the first time in sk history, a president in office is arrested. President Yoon waited out too long and the bad optics are unfortunately on him. Now the "fake elections" and "unfair elections" rhetoric about past congressional elections is being brought fwd once again by Yoon. Crisis.

Meanwhile in Sk, a mess takinf place with arrest warrants issued... by Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials. Originally, the case was w the police. Then, COI takes it from the police.

Sk's airplane accident has multiple issues to take into consideration. 1. Muan international airport was not all functional for intl flights 2. Jeju air is a small company, not a bad track record but it seems the pilot was desperate 3. Runway at the airport was significantly shorter than others

올해 나라가 삼제구나... 삼가 고인의 명복을 빕니다. Hay un dicho en coreano que dice que estamos en un tiempo de mala suerte (de 3 magnitudes). Parece que Corea del Sur está en ese momento. Bad things come in 3s. At a whole different magnitude, Korea faces a difficult moment this winter...

With impeachment through, Minister of Economics Choi Sang Mok assumes acting role as president of SK. Should the trend for impeachment continue, governance will be quite tumultuous until the Const Tribunal makes their decisions (which they said they can do even w 6 justices, but still debated)

As Han DS PM serving as president of SK announces that he will not recognize the 3 nominations put fwd in the national assembly for the constitutional tribunal, the opposition party presents another impeachment proposal, now against Han DS. More political turmoil in the SK.

Our independent review of UNRWA earlier this year found that it can be improved but is 'indispensable' to Palestinians. UNRWA operate not only in Gaza but also across the region. Denied humanitarian access in Gaza is a major concern but suspending funding is no solution. news.un.org/en/story/202...

‘Several hundred’ North Korean troops killed fighting Ukraine, says US official

Const Tribunal makes exception and agrees that they can deliberate without having the 7th justice. So, 6 justices will start deliberation about the impeachment.

Impeached! Yoon's presidential power immediately halted. PM Han DS takes power. 12 from Yoon's party vote in favor of impeachment. Cons. Tribunal has 180 days to make a decision. Due to the lack of voting members, it looks like a rushed appointment process of a judge will take place w/in a month.
