  16. I really like this idea!

    “I propose that in light of [..] Trump and his administration’s ever more destructive policies, the #BDS movement be expanded to include the US as well as #Israel. The beauty of this movement is that it can be participated in by young and old, men and women, and people of all nationalities. That is to say, participated in by everyone in the world who believes in justice and genuine freedom”

  18. The TikTok fiasco continues! In spite of the URGENT national security concerns posed, and as demanded by law, the whole TikTok thing is a giant stinking pile of poo.

    The TikTok divestiture law as passed April 24, 2024, and was originally set to take effect on January 19, 2025. We are now 16 months the law being passed and 9 months past the take effect date - and still no real progress. We continue to get smoke and mirrors.

    It is highly unlikely the current iteration of the "deal" with its highly opaque algorithmic "licensing" arrangement will genuinely address the national security risks. A "licensing" arrangement means that China may keep control over the core algorithm making true verification of how user data is used impossible. lawfaremedia.org/article/lesso #TikTok #SocialMedia #Divest #China #USGov #Algorithms #ByteDance #NationalSecurity

  19. I've recently learned that #Invisalign is a company with close ties to Israel. Much to my shame I had already paid 100s of euros to get started down the road for their use for my daughter. I regret not checking it out sooner. There are alternatives, though I would have to have fought with the dentist to get them.

    Just in case anyone else could do with that info.

    I now give a quick search for every company I'm thinking of doing a significant spend with.

    Cherchez pas, vous aurez du mal à trouver cette info dans les "médias", elle date pourtant de 36 heures et a une importance démesurée sur le sort d'Israël.

    Ce sont donc 11 entreprises israéliennes liées de près ou de loin à la fabrication d'armes ou de produits servant à commettre des crimes de guerres (comme les engins de terrassement).

    "Le fonds souverain de Norvège, le plus important au monde, annonce vendre ses parts dans 11 entreprises israéliennes.

    Le fonds souverain norvégien – également connu sous le nom de fonds pétrolier, car il est alimenté par les recettes considérables provenant des exportations de pétrole et de gaz du pays – a des actifs de quelque 1 900 milliards de dollars (1 646 milliards d’euros), avec des investissements répartis dans plus de 8 600 entreprises à travers le monde.

    Le journal norvégien « Aftenposten » a révélé en juin que ce fonds avait investi dans la société israélienne Bet Shemesh Engines Holdings, qui fabrique des pièces pour les moteurs utilisés dans les avions de chasse israéliens."

  29. BOYCOTT WORKS !

    Lawmakers in a Massachusetts city have voted to pass a historic ordinance divesting from companies that contribute to human rights violations, including Israel’s ongoing destruction of Gaza.

    The Medford City Council passed the Values-Aligned Local Investments Ordinance on Tuesday evening, making Massachusetts the third state — after Michigan and Maine — where a municipality has barred investments in companies that profit from a conflict many experts have now labeled a genocide.

    “We are in a new era where taxpayers are not just concerned with the services they receive as part of a city and town, but also how city and town resources are impacting global issues,” Council President Zac Bears, the ordinance’s sponsor, said on Monday.

  31. “Solidarity activities at the global level should be strategic and impactful. They should focus on disrupting all components of the supply chain that benefit the Israeli occupation in general and settler colonialism in particular. This means citizens around the world in different sectors of society can contribute to the struggle for Palestine as both producers and consumers by heeding the call to boycott and divest from Israel.

    Direct actions from the working class are crucial. Workers can integrate the Palestinian cause into their demands for better working conditions. For instance, public strikes in solidarity with Palestine, such as those organised by rail workers in European countries, might pressure governments to reconsider their support for Israel.

    Similarly, port workers could strike to disrupt shipping linked to Israel, pushing governments to reassess their positions. Employees in high-tech industries can play a critical role in supporting Palestinians by demanding their companies align products, services and partnerships with international law, refusing to support technologies complicit in the Israeli occupation or settler violence. If companies refuse, workers can escalate to protest action, such as disrupting supply chains and whistleblowing.”

  37. my complaints to the #OpenUniversity sent on the 23/06/25 for which, besides 2 emails saying they'll reply within 10 days, i am still waiting to get a meaningful reply:

    i am a student criminology and psychology at the #ou. i am hereby complaining about the fact that the ou spends student's tuition fees on contracts and so called partnerships with companies that are actively involved in the mass murder of fellow human beings for profit.
    the university has a legal duty to uphold domestic and international law, including by cutting ties with companies linked to ongoing #warcrimes.
    #BAE weapons have been linked to mass civilian deaths in both #Gaza and #Yemen, confirmed by #UN investigations and independent human rights organisations.

    BAE arms authoritarian regimes including #SaudiArabia, #Egypt, #UAE, and #Bahrain—all of which are known for state violence, #repression, and #torture.

    In 2024, BAE posted record #profits of over £2.5 billion, profiting from #weapons sold to governments actively involved in #MilitaryAssaults on civilian populations.

    BAE has faced multiple major #corruption scandals, including a £286 million #UK settlement and a $400 million fine in the #US over #bribery in arms deals.

    #University partnerships whitewash BAE’s image, giving it legitimacy and access to students—despite its central role in the global war machine.

    The Open University’s #collaboration with BAE helps normalise the arms trade, making #students #complicit unless we speak out.
    War is not only deadly—it is #ecocidal. BAE profits from destruction that fuels #ClimateCollapse, yet the #OU claims to value #sustainability.
    why is the ou engaging in this #criminal behaviour for years now, whilst teaching me about so called #crime?
    the university has a moral imperative to defend freedom and justice across the world, including the human rights of its academic colleagues in the #Palestinian territories.
    #Israel has destroyed all universities in Gaza, and over 300 #schools and #libraries. Education is a target in Gaza, and the OU’s academic peers are at risk.
    i demand the open university to immediately #divest our tuition fees from b.a.e. , #microsoft, #alphabet, #cisco and others involved in supporting and enabling #genocide and war across the world.
    i am currently on a year off from studying because of #MentalHealth conditions, which only have worsened because of this.
    i am seriously considering ending my studies because my #MoralIntegrity is more important than anything in my life, and i am not willing to get a huge debt that i know is being used to kill people. that makes me complicit with war crimes and genocide.
    besides , i can't take the study material seriously when the ou is #enabling, #normalising and #funding criminal conduct by the companies it contracts to deliver services and infrastructure, and then refuses to take #accountability.
    shame on you!

  38. my complaints to the #OpenUniversity sent on the 23/06/25 for which, besides 2 emails saying they'll reply within 10 days, i am still waiting to get a meaningful reply:

    i am a student criminology and psychology at the #ou. i am hereby complaining about the fact that the ou spends student's tuition fees on contracts and so called partnerships with companies that are actively involved in the mass murder of fellow human beings for profit.
    the university has a legal duty to uphold domestic and international law, including by cutting ties with companies linked to ongoing #warcrimes.
    #BAE weapons have been linked to mass civilian deaths in both #Gaza and #Yemen, confirmed by #UN investigations and independent human rights organisations.

    BAE arms authoritarian regimes including #SaudiArabia, #Egypt, #UAE, and #Bahrain—all of which are known for state violence, #repression, and #torture.

    In 2024, BAE posted record #profits of over £2.5 billion, profiting from #weapons sold to governments actively involved in #MilitaryAssaults on civilian populations.

    BAE has faced multiple major #corruption scandals, including a £286 million #UK settlement and a $400 million fine in the #US over #bribery in arms deals.

    #University partnerships whitewash BAE’s image, giving it legitimacy and access to students—despite its central role in the global war machine.

    The Open University’s #collaboration with BAE helps normalise the arms trade, making #students #complicit unless we speak out.
    War is not only deadly—it is #ecocidal. BAE profits from destruction that fuels #ClimateCollapse, yet the #OU claims to value #sustainability.

  43. I've been pretty happy with NearlyFreeSpeech for web #hosting and was going to save them to the end of the #Divest #Reroute , but the fact remains that they *are* in the US and I will want to move my stuff to the EU eventually anyway. Plus, there's no straighforward way to record my web hosting payments as a business expense when I'm hosting through them. So I'm looking again. Tips?
