Since already June, 2019 we pointed out
that it appears Kamala Harris is establishment's most preferable
candidate because she has all the characteristics that could revive
identity politics and drive the electorate away from the substance of
politics and towards the neoliberal center. Although she appeared to be
rather an unpopular candidate
with no chance to beat the most popular Democrats during the race for
party's leadership, Harris has those features that could help the
establishment take identity politics to the next level. In short, she is
a woman of color.
Democracy Now! Eleven peace activists and one journalist on board the Gaza Freedom Flotilla ship, the "Madleen," were detained by Israeli soldiers as their ship carrying vital humanitarian aid for starving Palestinians approached Gaza. The ship was intercepted by Israeli forces in the middle of the night in international waters. Its supplies were seized and communications jammed. The unarmed activists will likely be transported to Israeli detention or "immediately deported," says Ann Wright, a U.S. military veteran who has participated in four Freedom Flotilla journeys and now serves on the steering committee of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. She calls on citizens of countries around the world to push for the activists' release and an end to Israel's war on Gaza.
