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 in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . 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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

The states in purple are in violation of international law

The ICJ should issue arrest warrants for their governors. That would be nearly every Governor in this country, but I want to point out some notable ones it would really make me happy to see get arrested for this: Ron DeSantis, Greg Abbott, Brian Kemp, Gavin Newsome, Kathy Hochul, Tim Walz, and Andy Beshear.

What is this map showing? What bill passing does "passed" refer to?

I think it`s the state where BDS is illegal under the law

Oh sorry somehow I didn’t realize the map didn’t say lol, it’s states with Anti-BDS laws

How did Virginia defy AIPAC when it is ground zero for MIC ghouls?

I’m curious too. I wonder if the weirdo free speech warriors came out against it or something like that?

Just throwing one out there on no basis or research: They all gotta live next to these people and therefore detest whatever they're selling

I’ll be honest I personally appreciate this decision because in the decidedly non-zero chance I one day get fired because of one of those anti-BDS laws it’ll be nice to cite this in court

Unfortunately this ruling is non-binding, meaning it can't be enforced, but it lends strong argument when things need to be argued in eg bourgeois courts and governments. And the international law this ruling is based on is binding and enforceable. So the ruling could make it easier to overturn the anti-BDS laws but doesnt automatically do so
