text: THAILAND PRIME MINISTER SUSPENDED BY CONSTITUTIONAL COURT: Thailand’s constitutional court suspended Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha from official duties pending review of the legality of his eight-year term in office. A group of opposition lawmakers filed a petition to the court saying that Prayut, an increasingly unpopular pro-China Prime Minister, had exceeded his eight-year term limit. A spokesperson for the court said, “The court has considered the petition and relevant documents and sees that the facts from the complaint show cause for concern.” (AC: Under Prayut, Thailand, a formerly strong ally of the U.S., recently declared itself neutral in the U.S.-China competition in the Indo-Pacific and entered into a $369 million submarine deal with China. Prayut was elected to the position of Prime Minister in 2014, however, lawmakers passed a strict term limit law in 2017 that imposed an eight-year limit on prime ministers. Prayut claims that the law cannot be retroactively applied to his case. The constitutional court appears to think otherwise, given the immediate suspension imposed. Whether Prayut survives this challenge or not, he is now “on-notice” and may end up tempering some of his unpopular policies through the remainder of his term… whatever that may be. – M.M.)LOW INTENSITY CONFLICT INTSUMMTG SWATTED OVER POLITICAL VIEWS: Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) had officers sent to her home over a false emergency at 1AM local time yesterday morning. According to police, the caller later called back and took credit, claiming that the false report was over Greene’s statements on transgender youth. (AC: This method of harassment is generally nothing more than an inconvenience for the victim, but it places victims in potentially extreme danger as the officers are led to believe the situation could require lethal force. – J.V.)Berkeley, CASize: TBDActivity: Riseup4Abortion, a far left pro abortion subsidiary of RevCom, organizes counter protest of anti-abortion rally at UC Berkeley.Location: 1 Cross-Sproul Path, Berkeley, CA 94720Time: 1000; Friday, 26 AUGLos Angeles, CASize: TBDActivity: Far Left Activists plan a rally for Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) protestors prior to their arraignment.
