On March 4, @theintercept published a story about how Kibbutz Be’eri denied a report in the NYT regarding the sexual assault of two girls on October 7. The NYT told us they stood by the reporting. Our story is here:
theintercept.com/2024/03/04/…
Now, the NYT reports on a new video filmed by an Israeli soldier who discovered the girls that completely undermines the NYT report. And the NYT now quotes kibbutz residents as saying it was false.
Yet the NYT has not retracted it on the original Screams Without Words story, which has won a Polk Award and is constantly cited as the definitive account of systematic sexual violence by Hamas on October 7. The NYT has serious questions to answer about how this false story made its way into the “paper of record.” The new story about the video is here:

.@ChinaAmbUN: "Security Council resolutions are binding. We call on the parties concerned to fulfill their obligations under the United Nations Charter and to take due action as required by the resolution. We expect the state with significant influence to play a positive role on the party concerned, including by using all necessary and effective means at their disposal to support the implementation of the resolution. To this end, all harm against civilians must cease immediately, and the offensive against #Gaza must be stopped at once. A ceasefire during the month of #Ramadan is only the first step that must serve as a basis leading to a permanent sustainable ceasefire and the early return of the people of Gaza who are forced to flee their homes." @Chinamission2un

Despite the “play nice” public persona,@UPS has ignored our demands at the table. They want to keep screwing our members while making billions off their backs. Not f*cking happening. We’re putting an end to the disrespect. You have 48 hours to provide the last, best, final offer.

TEAMSTERS: NATIONWIDE UPS STRIKE IS IMMINENT
Today, the International Brotherhood of #Teamsters walked away from the national bargaining table and officially demanded @UPS exchange its last, best, and final offer no later than June 30. #1u

Like somebody said—SCOTUS got rid of race considerations not affirmative action, because legacy, and a parent’s occupation at a school, for example, are still very much legal. This is an attack on the most marginalized, not some attempt at fairness or restoring “merit.”

Today union organizers, teachers, nurses, students, artists, and hundreds of everyday working people marched in DC to demand that the US government take Cuba off the List of State Sponsors of Terrorism.
We asked some of them what is 1 reason why Cuba should be #OffTheList!

The politicians don’t care about the people. They don’t work for the people. They work for corporations, the developers, and the police. The Atl City Council ignored the largest mass mobilization ever because the corporate-funded Atlanta Police Foundation controls them.
