    "Seattle police arrested one demonstrator after a crowd of dozens tried to push into the #Seattle Convention Center, where hundreds had gathered for #Microsoft Build. Several demonstrators were doused with pepper spray.

    Demonstrators ultimately left the convention center at 1:30 p.m., returning to downtown Seattle’s Westlake Park where they had rallied earlier in the day."

    "Over 14,500 children have been killed since October 2023, according to the health ministry. Of the 1.9 million people β€” 9 out of 10 residents in Gaza β€” who have been internally displaced, half of them are children... Many of the children who survived, belong to a new generation of Palestinian orphans."

  3. Israel Loosened Its Rules to Bomb #Hamas Fighters, Killing Many More Civilians

    Surprised by Oct. 7 and fearful of another attack, #Israel weakened safeguards meant to protect noncombatants, allowing officers to endanger up to 20 people in each airstrike. One of the deadliest bombardments of the 21st century followed.

    U.A.W. Holds Off on Endorsing #Harris

    Unlike other prominent unions, the auto workers are taking their time to ensure that the vice president is aligned with them on key policy questions.

    "A person familiar with the board’s discussions said that the #UAW was likely to endorse Ms. Harris but that it wanted indications that she understood the importance to the union of two key issues: continuing Mr. #Biden’s agenda of investing in US manufacturing jobs, and being more outspoken on the need to end the war in #Gaza and attach strings to #US aid to #Israel."
