Spain and Italy are stepping up to safeguard the Global Sumud Flotilla
A Spanish naval vessel will join the Global Sumud Flotilla to provide assistance and, if necessary, conduct rescues, says Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez.
Italy earlier announced it was dispatching a frigate after a night of drone attacks on the flotilla opposed by the Israeli gov't.

It was like 2 scandals ago now, but some folks might recall that the US government "designated" antifa as a "domestic terrorist organization" yesterday.
Traveling, so a few quick thoughts:
Is it now a crime to be a "member" of antifa?
Can the govt seize antifa funds? (lol)
Are there sanctions?

For no particular reason, I’ve been thinking about the guy who obsessed about killing racial justice protesters, searched online about killing racial justice protesters, & told friends he may kill a racial justice protester.
Then he killed a racial justice protester.
And Gregg Abbott pardoned him.
