“War is just wrong." A friend from my youth in Japan sent me this note after she saw my article on the US firebombing of Tokyo. I wish the world had learned never to repeat the devastation of World War II, but the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza shows the exact opposite. substack.com/@timshorrock...

THIS COUNTRY ISN'T SAFE ANYMORE.

White "men" with guns

Our heroine.

Our hero.

Did Imperial Japan attack Portland, Oregon, like they once tried to with balloon bombs? What is the Nazi chief talking about?

This is basically what reactionary Japanese politicians say about the so-called "comfort women" they kidnapped in World War II for forced prostitution at military "comfort stations" throughout the China-SE Asia front and the Pacific. Fascists are big on sex trafficking.

President Lee said bluntly that 350 billion dollars would destroy the country, so Lutnik wants 380 billion now.

Now fire his ass.

At Substack, I disagree with Code Pink about the origins of the US "war on China." I argue that Obama's "Pivot to Asia" was not its beginning but merely continued the US militarization of South Korea, Okinawa, and Japan that began in 1950. It's the empire, leftists! substack.com/@timshorrock...

The presidency has been very good for Trump's finances. From Axios:

It's Drunk Uncle (Sam) time at the UN. Almost as warm and forgiving as his Nazi speech at Charlie Kirk's funeral rally.

First full day of fall, September 22, 2025, in Rock Creek Park DC. Blessings to all!

Is this the same fake feminist who praised the late, disgraced Shinzo Abe, Japan's loudest denialist of the "comfort women" enslaved for sex by the Japanese Empire during WWII, as a "champion" of women's rights? Yes. Yes it is.

This is a declaration of independence and amazing to hear from a South Korean leader. "President Lee criticizes 'submissive mindset' of people who believe Korea needs foreign troops." The DPRK hasn't had foreign troops on its soil since the early 1950s. koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/2025-09...

Absolutely!

Wow, Spooner Oldham on the organ with Neil Young - and three nurses. Spooner played with Dylan on his gospel tours, some of the best music Bob ever made.

NEIL YOUNG ON CNN JUST NOW: "There's a crime in DC at the White House." An anti-fascist anthem.

Loving this TO RAMONA, just as I heard it the other night in Columbia, MD. From "Another Side of Bob Dylan." An absolute gem; magnificent. Now HIGHWAY 61.

Absolutely sinful for CNN to break away from Bob Dylan's first live set on network TV in over a decade. Assholes. No respect. This music is fab! True Americana.

If you can, watch and listen to Farm Aid on its own feed. The sound is clear (especially through a speaker) and they don't break off in the middle of sets like they did with Mellencamp for bullshit commercials. Bob Dylan coming up any minute. www.youtube.com/live/CJbXWbd...

True.

Wiping out the memory of the Japanese-AMERICAN concentration camps. Forgot already, @washingtonpost?

Margo Price and Billy Strings ripping through a great version of Maggie's Farm just now on Farm Aid - their tribute to Bob Dylan, who played this at the first Farm Aid way back when! 🎵

This is STATE-LED CAPITALISM, not "socialism" or "communism." Trump is more like South Korea's Park Chung Hee than North Korea's Kim Jong Un. 👉 "Trump officials used 'golden share' to block U.S. Steel from stopping work at plant." www.japantimes.co.jp/business/202...

NEW: In a little noticed action, South Korea negotiated for the release from ICE custody of all workers, including Japanese, Chinese, Indonesians, and Koreans. Guest author Simone Chun says this may mark a new phase of Asian solidarity in ROK diplomacy. 🌺 timshorrock.substack.com/p/a-bridge-o...

CBS headline: "Hyundai to continue with $2.7 billion expansion of Georgia plant raided by ICE."

An incredible development. Since the 1970s, South Korea has been the target of dozens of US human rights investigations carried out by administrations of both parties. I covered many of them. Now the tables are turned. www.koreatimes.co.kr/foreignaffai...
