It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with John Carl Baker, director of programs at Ploughshares, to discuss the ongoing political unrest in South Korea. Then, she speaks with Giorgio Cafiero, CEO of Gulf State Analytics & adjunct assistant professor at Georgetown University, to discuss the recent developments in Syria after rebel forces entered Aleppo. First, Emma runs through updates on the search for the UnitedHealthcare CEO's killer, SCOTUS' oral arguments on Tennessee's ban on trans care for minors, Memphis Police discrimination, Trump's elite-led cabinet, questions about Tulsi Gabbard's loyalties, Pete Hegseth's myriad embarrassments, Israel's genocide in Gaza, Trump's legal woes, and the future of Democratic leadership, before parsing a little deeper through yesterday's oral arguments for US v. Skrmetti in front of the Supreme Court, and the fear that they might uphold Tennessee's violently transphobic policy. John Carl Baker then joins, diving right into a step-by-step breakdown of how South Korean President Yoon's attempt (and failure) to declare and enforce martial law last Tuesday developed, beginning with his declaration and assembling of soldiers and police around the National Assembly, through the rampant protests to allow legislatures to enter the assembly to vote down Yoon's attempted coup, and to the overwhelming 190-0 (in an assembly of 300) veto of the President's martial law. After briefly touching on the limited vocal support for Yoon from among his conservative allies, Baker steps back to explore the history of South Korea's conservative ties to dictatorship, beginning with Japan's brutal 30-year occupation of Korea through the end of the Second World War – an occupation bolstered by cooperation and support from conservative, capitalist, and right-wing Koreans – and through the sequential regimes of Chon Doo-hwan and Park Chung-hee from the 1960s-80s, with Park Geun-hye (daughter of Chung-hee) even rising to the Presidency just a decade ago only to be impeached over her corrupt practices, also unpacking the continued prevalence of authoritarian strains within the South Korean right over the last century. He and Emma then look at the non-coup-related failures of Yoon's regime that created both his overwhelming unpopularity and the strong opposition he sought to undermine via coup, wrapping up the interview by unpacking the role of the US in backing Yoon's regime, and what the ideal future of US-Korean relations would look like to the Korean electorate. Professor Giorgio Cafiero then joins, first running through updates on the recent sweeping offensives by Syrian rebels, successfully taking both Aleppo and Hama from the Assad regime, before taking a sharp step back as he walks us through the evolution of the 13-year Civil War, beginning with the Arab spring and spurring the intervention of myriad regional and international actors, through the 2015 intensification of conflict at the hand of increased Russian support for Assad and Iranian-backed groups, and to the lull in tensions that started in 2020, only to break this past week. After parsing through the more specific history of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and the deep and complex ties between the Syrian and Iranian regimes, Emma and Professor Cafiero tackle the prevalent role of external conflicts in how the impact of these Syrian Rebel conquests will unfold, with Iran's involvement in Hezbollah's conflict with Israel and Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine giving two major parties conflicting interests. Cafiero expands on the precarious state of the Syrian state at this moment, looking both at what that means for a potential (however brief) lull in conflict and for the future of the Syrian government, before wrapping up with the ongoing role of Israeli relations in shaping Middle Eastern politics. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they listen to Eddie from Fort Worth's Stetson Kennedy recommendations, talk with Gary from North Carolina about the divide between Trump voters and down-ballot GOP voters, and admire Jane Fonda's performance on Bill Maher. Meg from Seattle unpacks the harrowing and life-threatening impacts of repressive reproductive care, and Megyn Kelly aids in the attempted resuscitation of Pete Hegseth's potential career, plus, your calls and IM!

But recent Pentagon leaks indicating the US eavesdropped on Yoon's presidential office has rattled his cabinet, and could complicate the meeting. And, the World Food Program's regional director for the Middle East, Eastern Europe and North Africa says these countries are facing food shortages brought on by military conflicts, and by natural and manmade disasters. Also, people continue to flee Sudan as more fighting continues on Wednesday on the outskirts of the capital, Khartoum. Residents from the capital region are also having to make tough decisions about leaving. Plus, a look at legendary Harry Belafonte's role in the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa.

A beauty brand that’s not only going to give you the recipes for its best products — but show you how you can make them yourself, down to where to buy all the ingredients? That’s what I’m doing at Sabbatical Beauty, and that’s how I’m starting the Sabbatical Beauty Craft Skincare Revolution. The controversy In 2016, I got a lot of crap from the US Korean beauty bloggers who accused Sabbatical Beauty of stealing a recipe. It’s obviously completely false, as the ingredient lists for the two products are completely different, but that fake news has been dogging me ever since. It won’t stop following Sabbatical Beauty around, and it’s gotten on my nerves. So I’m doing something about it. Complete transparency I’m going to show all these people how wrong they are because I’m developing my new Sabbatical Beauty product in public. You are going to have the recipe for my brand new product and know exactly how to make it. Why?  I want to empower you. I want you to know what works on your skin, why ingredients are chosen, and whether a product is worth its price. Revolutionizing the beauty industry together I don’t want the beauty industry to be another industry where everything is a secret and we’re suspicious of one another. I want to empower you to start your own skincare company if you want to, and I’ll support you! To get started, sign up for my free webinar training series called “Luxury Skincare: Is It Worth The Cost?” You’ll learn how to read an ingredients list like a professor so you no longer feel lost in Sephora, trying to figure out if the rep is trying to hard sell you. You’ll know for yourself if the product is worth it or not, and whether they’re taking you for a ride! If you want to make your own products for your hypersensitive and reactive skin that nothing has worked on before, then you’re in the right place at the right time. After the webinar series, I’m releasing the product with product kits to make the products, and videos so you can follow along. It’s going to be amazing, and you and I are going to be the ones to change the beauty industry together.

For anyone with an interest in Korean studies, the study of diaspora and globalization, and indeed in broader questions around transnational identities and encounters in East Asia and beyond, Homing will prove an invaluable text. In it Ji-Yeon Jo, Associate Professor of Korean language and culture at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, weaves together an array of fascinating and often moving personal accounts from members of the longstanding Korean communities in China, the former-Soviet Union and the United States who have moved ‘back’ (a complicated term as she explains in this podcast) to South Korea, mostly since the 1990s. Basing her work largely on personal interviews, Professor Jo also offers rich background on how the Chinese, Soviet and US Korean diaspora communities became established in the first place, and how and why it was that many of them elected to return to the Korean peninsula in recent decades. But this book is much more than just a historical summary or collection of interview findings, for it develops a sophisticated set of arguments which highlight, in the author’s own words, “diasporic diversities and specificities” among each of the Chinese, Soviet, and American groups (p. 3). It is via professor Jo’s tracing of parallels and divergences between returnee diaspora experiences, and the theoretical optic through which she considers these, that the book’s wider theoretical questions emerge to the fore and we are encouraged, again in professor Jo’s words, to “rethink legacy migration through the lens of trans-border belongings” (p. 21).
