how this point interacts with the norms of commentary on protests: if it's true that *any* destruction and disruption will attract a disproportionate amount of attention, then fingerwaggers labeling protests and protestors basedon these scenes are in effect demanding blanket, total discipline
But if a few people in masks start lighting stuff on fire? Then you have news. This creates an *enormous* attentional advantage towards the most violent and chaotic kind of protest.

2 weeks ago, France, Canada, and the UK warned Israel to take "concrete actions" to stop its genocidal war & boost aid into Gaza. Israel responded by shooting at diplomats from 2 dozen nations — including the trio.
Today, Israel intercepted a UK-flagged aid ship with 6 French people on board.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Solidarity with Chilean Starbucks workers who are continuing their strike ✊
Around half of Starbucks locations in Chile are SHUT DOWN, with others under minimal staffing as workers strike. The company has refused to respond to complaints made by the union to Chile's labor dept.
Shame on Starbucks!
