Now, for any person with a shred of moral dignity, there's some time during US history where you would have to admit that an insurrection or rebellion was necessary. Only complete scum bag fascists would try to argue that a slave revolt wasn't an absolute good, and that it was a bad thing when those revolts were crushed. Anyone with a shred of moral decency has to admit that there is at least one point in US history where the nation was doing something so incredibly evil, that it would have been good if people would have rose up and stopped it.
Today we're talking about the displacement and genocide of people in Gaza. We can look at any number of genocide on US soil carried out by the US government. Who, with any moral clarity, wouldn't point to those and want to believe that they would have resisted, violently if necessary, against those slaughters. Who, that today condemns slavery, could look at John Brown and not wish to have the moral integrity to fight and die along side of him?
Every liberal who actually believes in justice, who isn't just virtue signaling out of guilt, should be able to point to a time in history where they would absolutely agree with the most militant resistance. For those folks, I always wonder, when did that evil end? Where is your line? Have you thought about that?

'while the British government “may not agree with the flotilla’s mission, they have a responsibility to their citizens.'
“They have not said a single word in public,” she said. “It’s inexcusable. They are meant to care about international law.”

physics_collab: Multilayer physicist collaborations (2015)
Two multiplex networks of coauthorships among the Pierre Auger Collaboration of physicists (2010-2012) and among researchers who have posted preprints on arXiv.org (all papers up to May 2014). Layers represent different categories of publication, and an edge's weight indicates the number of reports written by the authors. These layers are one-mode projections from the underlying author-paper bipartite network.

I've installed #Aqara "smart" switch, and it turned out to be useless: it doesn't work when my wifi is down.
The whole point of a physical switch was to have a backup for the flaky connectivity, but nope. Aqara switch locks up and stops responding, just like the rest of the not-actually-smart devices ;(

Here's a challenge: find an adult Black man that has spent any significant time in New York as a teenager, that *hasn't* ever been detained by a cop with a gun.
This isn't rhetorical, and it's not a trick question.
It is possible to find!
A decent percent of Black men in New York have avoided this!
About 10%!
