JOIN WITH US TODAY ■ More News UK Voters Send 'Shout' for Change to Tories as Labour Sweeps in Local Elections US Rep. Henry Cuellar and Wife Indicted on Bribery Charges Jewish Americans to Lead Shabbat Protests Against US Complicity in Gaza excerpt:  Jewish organizers announced plans to hold bicoastal "solidarity Shabbat" protests Friday evening to demand a cease-fire in Gaza and an end to the violent repression of campus anti-war protests across the country. The Jewish-led organization IfNotNow announced plans to hold the protests in Los Angeles and New York, with "hundreds of American Jews" gathering "together with a multi-faith coalition to take a moral stand against U.S. complicity in the genocide in Gaza." The Shabbat actions come more than two weeks into a wave of mass protests that have spread on college campuses nationwide, with students setting up encampments and occupying school buildings to demand that universities divest from companies that work with the Israeli government, such as tech firms and weapons manufacturers. IfNotNow directed participants to wear white and not bring signs to the events, where demonstrators will "uplift the demands of the students of NYC and around the world: Divestment now. Palestinian freedom now. Power to the Students. Eyes on Gaza." Missouri Coalition Delivers Signatures to Get Abortion Rights on November Ballot excerpt:  Missouri currently has one of the strictest abortion bans in the United States, but a coalition behind a potential ballot measure is hoping to change that—and on Friday, it made major progress toward expanding reproductive freedom in the state. Ahead of a Sunday deadline, Missourians for Constitutional Freedom submitted 380,159 signatures to the Missouri Secretary of State's office, which must now certify them. The signatures were collected in just three months and are over double the number needed to get the proposed amendment on the November ballot. "Today, we turned in boxes filled with hopes and dreams of bodily autonomy," declared Tori Schafer, an ACLU attorney and coalition spokesperson, in a statement. "Our message is simple and clear: We want to make decisions about our bodies free from political interference."

By Rashid Khalidi As Biden Bets Reelection on Benjamin Netanyahu, We May All Pay the Price If the president loses the 2024 election to Trump because he chose to cater to the whims of Israel's brutal, right-wing, authoritarian leader—he will be remembered for nothing else. By Steven Day Student Reporters Offer a Lesson on World Press Freedom Day The escalating authoritarianism we’re witnessing in the crackdown on college campuses is, in part, a byproduct of a media system that fails to hold powerful interests accountable for the lies they tell.
