Well, not so bad.
Small but constant acceleration, aided and abetted by Israel making a mockery of international law and democracy, and even of its international friends, day after day.
Danny Glover is doing his bit.
Good on him.

Black Americans still remember what racial apartheid was like, and even experience reduced forms of it, now.
The film, American Revolutionary: the Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs, is due to be screened at the DocAviv festival, which is running through May 17.
In a statement, Glover and nine others featured in the film, along with Boggs, the 98-year-old philosopher and activist whose life is chronicled in the documentary, said: We stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine, and support their call for cultural and academic boycott of Israel we were shocked to find the film slated to be screened at the DocAviv festival in Israel on May 13th and 15th. This was scheduled without our knowledge.
They said they attempted to have the screenings canceled, but the festival organizers and film producers informed us that this was not possible and they would move forward with the screening, over our objections.
Boggs has explicitly stated her support of the boycott and believes this screening is in direct contradiction to her legacy and ongoing work as a revolutionary, the statement said.
