Shots have been fired at the Rafah crossing where Palestinians have been demanding that the crossing into Egypt be opened to ease the blockade imposed on the territory by Israel. Several police were injured in the skirmishes, as well as protesters. Gaza has been under lockdown for five days now, although the blockade was eased earlier when Israel allowed a fuel shipment through.

i saw people on the metro today carrying pro-choice signs–why? It is the 35th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the January 22, 1973 supreme court decision giving women the right to choose.

there were also bus-loads of anti-choice evangelicals with “their obese kids” dumping onto the mall this morning. speaking via remote from the white house, bush addressed the tens of thousands of anti-choicers before they marched the streets.
