Many hundreds of people were out protesting in my sleepy corner of the burbs, in fact there were four demonstrations along a roughly five mile stretch of road going through three towns you've never heard of.
So that's pretty cool. And pretty good.

Urgent: All eyes on Madleen
Israeli drones are flying above the humanitarian ship #Madleen right now.
The crew is under direct threat — drones have reportedly already dropped chemical agents on the ship.
THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
The world must act to protect them — before it’s too late.

Watching the evacuations and local air quality. I wish media wouldn't just tell people to shelter and "breathe easy" but let them know that KN95 masks offer some protections against tiny smoke particles while outdoors. Not gases (obvs!), but I understand those don't carry as far as particles do.
