The Presbyterian Church (USA) voted 454–15 to recognize Israel's actions in Gaza as a genocide, divest from Palantir and GE Aerospace, lobby Congress for an arms embargo, and boycott certain products. They also say that criticism of the Israeli government is not inherently antisemitic.
They're the first major Christian denomination in the USA to formally label Israel's actions in Gaza a genocide.
This is a huge development and a critical escalation in how mainstream US religious institutions perceive Israel, so where's the news coverage? It happened last week, and I've barely seen anything about it in US mainstream media.
NEW: The morning after the socialists swept, the establishment had its excuse ready: Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier only won because of gentrification.

Katie Miller has a master's degree and a career. It appears that she has consistently worked since she was 20. She can open a bank account, own property, and have a credit card in her name. She has access to no-fault divorce and would be entitled to child support for her baby if she and Stephen Miller divorce. She has laws protecting her against physical abuse and rape by her spouse.

She is very much not living the life that the "propaganda. . . convinced" women was oppressive. She is living the life that feminism made possible.
Of course, she knows this. She's just a liar.

Just found out the Knicks team is a Gemini. They were charted June 6 1946.
I was born June 6 1991.
They won their second game in the finals hours before my birthday.
They won the championship during Gemini season 🤪.
What a time to be a Gemini from NYC
This tweet isn't just about the Knicks. Zohran is hacking the culture to send a bat signal: after decades of alienation, the revolutionary subject is now re-entering History. It's a call to develop a historical materialist analysis capable of blasting open the present conjuncture
