Genuine question because I know nothing about Japanese politics: was Shinzo Abe a bad person?

yes he was a right wing nationalist who wanted Japan to return to its imperial fascist glory days, and denied that a bunch of the well documented war crimes imperial japan committed in China and Korea before and during WW2 ever happened.

Don’t you know, saying Japanese fascists are bad is Chinese propaganda.

The north-east of England has the highest rate of child poverty of anywhere in the UK, for the first time overtaking London as the nation’s hotspot for hardship and deprivation, new analysis shows.

Although the latest UK-wide figures show child poverty rates overall fell slightly in the first year of the pandemic due to the temporary £20 weekly uplift to universal credit, detailed breakdown shows child poverty continued to rise in areas like Sunderland, Newcastle and Middlesbrough.

Significant considering the population difference

Just in case you missed it:   Chancery Court in Davidson County, Tennessee, has ruled that taxpayer funded establishments can place signs that say "No Jews Allowed" ... as long as there is at least one establishment where services for Jews are provided. https://t.co/WkP0KGHysZ  — Maricopa AAPI (@MaricopaAAPI) July 6, 2022ALT

what the fuck is going on

Christian Dominionists have been waiting and working on this full court press to bring about their own christofascist regime. All this shit is them pulling the trigger and relying on the 6 SCOTUS conservatives to back up their plans.

This is literally the judicial logic that lead to Jim Crow.

Just over two weeks after the Supreme Court handed a historic victory to anti-abortion Republicans by repealing Roe v. Wade, Senate Democrats are moving to protect interstate travel for abortion care.

The Freedom to Travel for Health Care Act of 2022, shared exclusively with HuffPost, aims to counteract some of these attacks by protecting the right to travel freely from state to state to seek reproductive health care services. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) introduced the bill Tuesday morning, along with nearly three dozen Democratic co-sponsors, including Sens. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.).

Last week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced that Democrats in the lower chamber will soon vote on similar legislation, aimed at “addressing the GOP’s disturbing threats to restrict Americans’ freedom to travel — reaffirming the Constitutional right to seek care freely and voluntarily throughout the country.”

The Senate legislation underscores the constitutional protections found in the 14th Amendment for patients traveling across state lines for abortion care and the physicians who provide that care in pro-choice states. The Freedom to Travel for Health Care Act also empowers the U.S. Attorney General and impacted individuals to bring civil suits against anyone who attempts to restrict a person’s right to cross state lines to receive reproductive health care services.

Reasons why it is vital to vote Democrat

Because these are the only people doing anything to protect America from the filthy Nazi disease upon the American people that is the Republican party
