Charlotte Driftwood, Jen Seggio, and our friend dNd to check out the first "episode" of The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones... it's uh... it's something.

By which I mean, painfully based in stereotypes, even by George Lucas standards.

Ep. 53: Young Indiana Jones: My First Cancellation - Six Degrees of Star Wars

We start off our "Oops! All TV" episodes with a look at that time George Lucas made a prequel to one of his beloved franchises with a child actor yelling things like "yippee" and a lot of really racis...

Like I know there are edgelord leftists out there who look down their noses at shit like No Kings but sorry you guys, the more mass protest looks fun and family-friendly, the bigger it gets and the better its chances of being broadly effective

Watch live so they're less incentivised to murder these peace activists. Even just putting the stream on in the background is helpful.

To answer your question — most major American news outlets are not reporting on this, with their focus being largely monopolized by the US federal government shutdown.

Which is salt in the egregious wound that these unjust and illicit arrests are.

American friends, how come you're not commenting on this...?? 40+ boats and ships taking humanitarian aid to Palestine have been intercepted by the Israelis. Greta Thunberg and others have been arrested illegally.

Israel blocks Gaza aid flotilla and intercepts mission’s lead vessels

Members of the flotilla, which includes an EL PAÍS journalist, had spotted around 20 vessels nearby. The flotilla had already entered the exclusion zone established by the Israeli military

Republicans pitch a bad bill designed to harm people and/or make Democrats look weak if it passes, and gives them an excuse to blame Democrats for the #shutdown because they are incapable of self reflection or accountability.

Fixed it for you.

you cannot dismantle oppression in this country without first dismantling racism in this country. you cannot dismantle racism in this country without first dismantling this country's core white supremacy foundation itself.

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

World Central Kitchen got fired on in Gaza by Israel, had members killed, and went back anyway because people shouldn't have to starve to death. This is an amazing humble bundle.

Heads up: ICE took a Brazilian trans woman in DC.

Her name is Alice Correia Barbosa.

No one has been able to find her.
