President Trump filed a May 21st purchase of stock in Snowflake, $SNOW.

BREAKING: The Israeli army has declared the Christian village of Taybeh—the last entirely Christian village in the occupied West Bank—a closed military zone, prohibiting Israelis, foreign nationals, and journalists from entering.
In practice, this means international activists, human rights observers, and journalists will no longer be able to enter the village to document or respond to the daily attacks by Israeli settler terrorists.
This is a deeply alarming new measure and another step by the Israeli government and army toward the ethnic cleansing of the last entirely Christian village in the West Bank. They want to do it in silence—without witnesses, without journalists, and without the world noticing.
Instead of arresting the settler terrorists responsible for these attacks, the authorities are banning the journalists and activists who document them from entering the village.
If this continues, the survival of the last entirely Christian Palestinian village in the West Bank is at serious risk.
