From New York and Baltimore, this is Democracy Now.

This morning early, just after midnight, two drones struck our Gaza freedom ship called the conscience that was in international waters off Malta.

Palestinian solidarity activists are accusing Israel of bombing an aid flotilla, which was preparing to sail to Gaza.

We'll hear from retired U.S. Colonel Anne Wright and Greta Toonberg.

They were both planning to join the Freedom Flotilla in Malta to break Israel's devastating

two-month blockade of Gaza.

Plus, we'll speak to Professor Angela Davis, who gave the keynote address last night

at a Jewish Voice for Peace

Conference in Baltimore.

Palestine is now the very center of the world.

The infinite hope of people everywhere who want to see a better world.

And we'll hear from some of the hundreds of thousands who marched in May Day protests

across the United States to demand worker rights, freedom for Palestine, and protection for immigrants.

May Day, it represents a very united struggle, one of intersectional solidarity.

All that and more coming up.

I'm Narmine Sheikh.

The United States here is that we are breaking the bodies and the minds of the children of Gaza.
