Time	Event
10:47p	The left behind Robert Reich: how Democrats' abandonment of the working class and labor unions opened the door for the bullshitter to offer the white working class a bogus sense of power. (Comment on this)
10:47p	Texas wildfire It is only March, but the Texas panhandle is so hot and try that the spreading giant wildfire is hard to control. Come June, normally 25F hotter, it may spread much faster and may be totally unstoppable. Americans, vote for climate defense! (Comment on this)
10:47p	Gaza aid *Gaza airdrops might not be necessary if Israel faced more pressure on aid.* I agree with the article, but it will be hard to make delivery of aid from Israel itself function properly. It will always be easy to make snags occur, to set up regulations that will slow the flow based on whatever pretext. Sea delivery would avoid that problem because the aid would not pass through Israel. (Comment on this)
10:47p	Global heating US ski resorts are losing money because global heating has reduced the amount of snowfall. We can live without skiing, but reduced rain on farmland will make food scarce. (Comment on this)
10:47p	Urgent: End Section 702 US citizens: phone your congresscritter to call for ending Section 702 mass surveillance. If you phone, please spread the word! Main Switchboard: +1-202-224-3121 (Comment on this)
10:47p	Thug violence London thugs knocked over a legal observer watching events at a rally for Palestine, leaving her unconscious and bleeding. There were 30 thugs in the group, and none of them attended to her injuries. This was not the only recent instance of violence by thugs toward legal observers. I can see why thugs might feel hostility towards legal observers, feeling that the observers' mission is to observe and report wrongdoing by thugs. But that is no excuse for violence against them. It should not be difficult for the department to determine from the video which thugs did what. Then we will see whether the department is sincere in saying that these actions are unacceptable.

10:47p	Beating disinformation Sefton Delmer's propaganda messages to Germany induced Germans to doubt the validity of Hitler's propaganda. Ukrainians have learned from them. I wonder if there is a chance of applying these methods to the delusion of trumpet propaganda. Delmer had more than a clever idea: he had the resources of the British government available to carry out the idea. There are surely Americans who could try to do something like that -- but what institution would give them a voice loud enough to be noticed? (Comment on this)
10:47p	Very Urgent: Support Gaza ceasefire US citizens: call on Congress to show support for a Gaza ceasefire at Biden's State of the Union speech. (Comment on this)
