    I love how they’re talking out of one side of their mouth with “Charlie Kirk was just trying to protect free speech uwu” and out of the other side of their mouth with “also if you criticize Israel even in the slightest we will come down on you like the hammer of Thor” like how fucking dumb are burgerlanders for putting up with this shit

      it’s the same as the state anti-bds laws so it won’t be challenged

      and it’s hard to imagine it even being applied, imagine a firm that does contracts for the fucking Pentagon which supports BDS? that can’t be a real company.

    Obviously bad but god I’m sick of bullshit headlines. Makes it sound like we’re one Senate vote away from banning it entirely, get scared enough to click in, turns out it’s actually just that federal contractors can’t protest Israel now

      1/3 of the USA economy depends on the contracts; including the majority of USA colleges and universities. Over half the population indirectly provides services to these contractors.

      It is not impossible to make it later a condition that defense contractors cannot do business with boycotting companies. That would effectively end the movement in the USA

    Your honor, It was not politically motivated when I was boycotting Israel, I just don’t like Sabra hummus. It was entirely coincidental that did not purchase any Israeli products over a long period of time.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

– PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE –

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like ‘Raid: Shadow Legends’ in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
