A view from above at night of an overpass close to the dock in Genoa packed with 10s of thousands of people

Incredible scenes in Genoa, Italy as 50,000 people join a procession to bid farewell to the boats joining the Global Sumud Flotilla to Gaza.

Over 50 boats from 44 countries, loaded with 100s of tons of food aid, have set sail to Gaza to attempt to break the Israeli siege.

I didn't read it as such! I'm just sorry it isn't a good fit for you.

I don't disagree with you about the state of the sector.

A fundraiser has been launched to help pay for the legal expenses of the philosophy major taken by ICE earlier this week, and the Columbia Department of Philosophy has issued a statement about the situation and calling for the university to help him.

Today I am writing something else about an example involved in the book, and I realised I don't have to navigate around my googledocs to find the discussion - I can just flick to the page of the book! #philsky
