Lots of slathering to saudis. I yipped about inclusion. I observed that half the IQ In world was possessed by women without mentioning they are more than 51 percent of population....

I'm trying to figure why American elite think if u murder your baby by beating and abandonment it must be irrelevant to your admission to Harvard, but hit on a few women 10 years ago and can't work at a network or think tank.

Reposting this SCOTUS order (from after midnight Eastern!) with alt text.

Last page! (Honestly IMHO the most helpful one with the connections between Proposition 1, CARE Court, and SB 43.)

I’m planning to go to this march on DC this Saturday, and I’d love to find other folks there. I hope that it will be huge. More info at peoplesforum.org/events/natio....
Poster for the Free Palestine March on Washington taking place on Saturday, November 4 at 2:00 p.m. at Freedom Plaza in Washington, DC. The headlines read, "BIDEN, NO MORE U.S. AID TO ISRAEL!", "LIFT THE SIEGE ON GAZA NOW!", and "THE PEOPLE DEMAND A CEASEFIRE!" The body of text reads, "Now is the the time to stand with the besieged people of Palestine! Gaza is being bombed by the hour. Its people are denied food, water and electricity by Israel. Tens of thousands on more people are likely to die. We must ACT! People are in the streets everyday in their local cities and towns. Now we must UNITE! Join the tens of thousands people, from every corner of the United States, who are converging for a truly massive National March on Washington D.C. on Saturday, November 4 at 2:00 p.m. at Freedom Plaza".

Thousands out in San Francisco for Palestine.
Mass of thousands of people holding signs and Palestinian flags in San Francisco.

Some media coverage of these thousands-big free-Palestine/ceasefire/anti-weapons-to-Israel/stop-the-genocide protests by the outlets politicians actually read would be REALLY GREAT.
A Twitter/X post from user @p_pod_ reading “several thousand rallied and marched on Ohlone land / Oakland today calling for an end to the US-backed zionist genocide and a free Palestine with the right of return” above a photo of a crowd of several thousand, many with flags of Palestine and signs, rallying in Oscar Grant Plaza

Really feeling this protest sign right now.

Genocide. The plan is genocide.
Twitter post from The Jerusalem post stating: “Defense Minister @yoavgallant stressed that this war needs to be the ‘last campaign in #Gaza, for the simple reason that after this #Hamas will not exist.’” Words above a photo with the text “The Jerusalem Post BREAKING NEWS” and a link to jpost.com.

I'd love to see folks today at noon in Oakland at Oscar Grant Plaza at 14th and Broadway if anyone is free! All (including non-Muslims) are welcome (in caps!) per the organizers at the Arab Resource and Organizing Center.

The use of the passive was also poised to escalate. I'm impressed, @nytimes.com. Save an autonomous crisis, not an acting subject to be found.
Black text on a white background from the New York Times front webpage that reads: Israel-Hamas War First Shipment of Aid to Gaza Seen as Insufficient as Crisis Worsens It remained unclear whether more aid would be allowed in. There were increasing signs that the fighting was poised to escalate, stirring fears of a wider war.

The White House seems to have closed their "Contact Us" form for a while this evening. Hmmm. (I know that BlueSky doesn't do hashtags, but they would be: No more deaths. No more genocide. End the occupation. Free Palestine. No US arms for Israel. Ceasefire now.)
Firefox website open to https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/ showing a white webpage with the words "Contact Us" in blue above a pink box containing a red "X" in a circle below red text stating, "THIS FORM WILL REOPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS AT 11:00PM ET". A timestamp in the lower left corner reads "7:34 PM 10/20/2023".
