none of the separate countries have economies that rival USA, BUT THAT’S WHY #EuropeanUnion EXISTS. put them all together and they do rival the “largest” economy in the world.

the #Boycott is happening because the EU left have been working on this for months.

for the #Divest, Macron literally said, stop all investments for the next month. that would tank Wall Street even further.

and #Sanctions? EU been itching to sanction USA tech oligarchs. tis the excuse they been waiting for. /🧵

so, when Marine Le Pen got smacked down, decided to catch up with my French politics reading and, those were the days (less than a week ago) when only la gauche were calling for a boycott of États-Unis over #Gaza #Ukraine #Greenland and shameless #fascism & #corruption, especially the Tesla shmuck.

then the orange fuckwad turned tariffs into extortion.

so now, Macron has said, in so many words, it’s time to #Boycott #Divest & #Sanction USA:

"This month our podcast looks back at the Bowdoin College encampment in early February that took over a portion of Morrell Lounge demanding the institution publicly stand against #scholasticide in #Gaza and #divest from certain arms manufacturers who have been supplying Israel’s criminal acts there. This episode maps out the encampment day by day, adding context and clarity to the brave action taken by students."

🗣 OPPOSING FASCISM IS A JEWISH TRADITION

#BDS all collaborators with #Trump #MAGA #techbros and every sundry supporter of #AmericanFascism.

yes, we #antifascists here in the USA are asking antifascists all over the world to #Boycott #Divest and #Sanction all #USA and international companies and institutions that support American fascism.

#BDSColumbia for aiding in the abduction of Khalil Mahmoud

image from above of dozens of people sitting on the floor or standing next to each other, dressed in red & white tshirs and black pants and some of them holding banners. one of them clearly reads: opposing fascism is a jewish tradition. on the front of some of the t-shirts it says, NOT IN OUR NAME. they are one of the many Jewish organizations protesting the abduction and imprisonment of Palestinian activist Khalil Mahmoud, by Trump and his fascist collaborators.

KEEP IT UP, FOLKS! Anti-#DOGE #protests at #Tesla stores target #ElonMusk’s bottom line

By RODRIQUE NGOWI and JONATHAN J. COOPER
Updated 4:07 PM EST, March 2, 2025

BOSTON (AP) — Demonstrators gathered outside Tesla stores across the U.S. Saturday to protest the automaker’s billionaire CEO, Elon Musk, and his push to slash government spending on behalf of President Donald Trump.

The demonstrations are part of a growing backlash in North America and Europe to Musk’s disruptive role in Washington.

Critics of Trump and Musk hope to discourage and stigmatize purchases of Tesla, the electric car company that is the world’s most valuable automaker. Liberal groups for weeks have organized anti-Tesla protests in hopes of galvanizing opposition to Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency and energizing Democrats still demoralized by Trump’s November victory.

“We can get back at Elon,” said Nathan Phillips, a 58-year-old ecologist from Newton, Massachusetts, who was protesting in Boston on Saturday. “We can impose direct economic damage on Tesla by showing up at showrooms everywhere and boycotting Tesla and telling everyone else to get out, sell your stocks, sell your Teslas.'"

So tired of seeing good people who are standing up for humanity getting brutalized by the cops. This is the reality our politicians have created in service to their corporate donors.

In Bologna, #Italy, students for #Palestine staged a protest at the University of Bologna’s academic year opening ceremony, demanding for an end to academic normalization with apartheid, and for the university to cut all ties with Israeli institutions complicit in the occupation and genocide.

A couple years ago I moved my primary banking to VanCity credit union because BMO and CIBC, who I had used my entire life, were actively, unrepentantly, and significantly, killing our climate.

They still are.

I don’t believe Carney is going to change that.

Sally and Dalia. Twin sisters from Gaza, they were admitted to the University of Waterloo's PhD program in Systems Design Engineering through the Palestinian Students & Scholars At Risk (PSSAR) initiative. Sally and Dalia were killed in an lsraeli airstrike on civilians during the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Their lives ended before they could even begin their journey.

Sally and Dalia's lives ended before they could even begin their journey. The University of Waterloo, the very institution that accepted them, is complicit in their murder. Waterloo's partnerships with Technion, its investments in weapons manufacturers, and its silence make it an accomplice in the systems of genocide and settler colonialism that murdered Sally and Dalia. Waterloo's hands are drenched in blood, their blood. We rage. We grieve. We demand justice. Sally and Dalia deserved life. They deserved to fulfill their dreams, to seek education and to live in freedom. We will never forget them. We will fight for a world where their memory fuels liberation. A world where universities no longer profit from genocide. Divest now. End complicity. Honour their names with action. GLORY TO SALLY AND DALIA. GLORY TO THE MARTYRS.
Palestinian Students & Scholars At Risk (PSSAR) In Memory of Sally and Dalia With deep sadness and heavy hearts, we share the tragic loss of two remarkable young women, Sally and Dalia, who were recently accepted into the University of Waterloo's PhD Engineering program through the PSSAR initiative. Their acceptance into this prestigious program was a significant achievement, reflecting their incredible talent, resilience, and determination. They were eagerly preparing to join us, planning to cross the Rafah border when it reopens and complete their study permit applications. Tragically, their dreams were cut short by an Israeli airstrike on civilians in Gaza last Thursday-a heartbreaking act in the ongoing violence that has claimed countless lives. Sally and Dalia represented hope, strength, and a brighter future-a future they deserved but were cruelly denied. Let us honor Sally and Dalia by standing together for justice and supporting those impacted by this tragedy. Their dreams must not be forgotten, and their memory should inspire us to work for a world where every person can live and learn in peace. May they rest in peace.
Semih Salihoğlu Two recent PhD admits to @UWaterloo were recently killed in Gaza. Their names were Sally and Dalia. To honor Sally and Dalia, I feel the responsibility to share this beautiful picture that I received from a colleague (with the permission of my colleague). This ugly war has already been an indelible stain on our consciousness forever and it inevitably hurts you more when there is something that connects you indirectly to the victims. I can't begin to imagine the actual pain felt by the loved ones, families, relatives, and friends of all innocent victims of this war. Here is a portion of an email that broke some of us the news of Sally and Dalia. I will probably remember these sentences forever. I'm posting with permission from others on this email: Hi All, I just got a devastating news. Two twin sisters who received a fellowship to join Waterloo in the PhD program for System design engineering, have been killed by an Israeli operation in Gaza. Tamer your students are still alive. ... Tamer there is @ozsu, who also has two students in Gaza. Unfortunately they were also bombed and lost their brother and one of them is injured. I pray that she recovers soon. There is nothing to say. We cannot look away. We cannot give up hope for a ceasefire to stop this nightmare. #UWaterloo #Gaza #CeasefireNOW

Let me guess, the first “entity” a Canadian Pension fund takes majority control of will be some slimy oil interest. 🤮
In fact, I will go straight out on that limb and say it will be Trudeau’s Transmountain Boondoggle Climate Killer.

If it is my pension fund doing the buying you may hear the screams for miles….

Good to point out the measures that individuals can take to move the needle!

#ProjectDrawdown suggests that every $1,000 we hold in a fossil-fuel-financing bank results in carbon emissions equivalent to a cross-country flight (which sounds insane, but I’m not qualified to check their math).

I'm reading more every day about Jewish donors divesting from charities which have turned antisemitic. This puts these organizations into a challenging position- one which they've created for themselves:

Bow to the loud demands of hate groups, or accept donor funds.

It's an important sign to Jews as well: Our voices, or at least our money, counts.

I guess divestment does work!

The next phase of the work will be to re-engage these entities with conditions that include anti-hate requirements, and if not, then we go back to what we have always had to do in our two thousand years in the diaspora: make our on institutions.

We can do this, and we must for the future of our people.

From Campus to the Courts, the “#PalestineException” Rules #University #Crackdowns

by Akela Lacy, Yazan Mohammad
November 18 2024, 2:04 p.m.

"With #Israel’s war on #Gaza entering its second year, Khalaf is among thousands of students and faculty members still being targeted in universities’ battles over harsh #ProtestCrackdowns, #FreeSpeech, academic independence, and discrimination.

"The fights are playing out online, in campus quads, internal disciplinary proceedings, and in the courts. Organizers among the students and faculty say universities are retaliating against them for their #activism and restricting their #CiviLiberties and #FreedomOfExpression while claiming to uphold both.

"As campus protests reached their height in May, Dahlia Saba, a second-year Palestinian American graduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, wrote an op-ed supporting the demonstrators’ demands. She called on the school to address calls to #divest from industries that profit from Israel’s war. She and her co-author Vignesh Ramachandran, another graduate student, were met with student nonacademic disciplinary investigations that relied solely on the op-ed for evidence.

"'The university is threatening us with sanctions that could jeopardize our academic careers if we choose to speak out again,' Saba said. 'They’re low-level sanctions to begin with, but the university is pursuing sanctions against many people on very little evidence.'

"The issue is not so much the severity of the sanctions, Saba said, but using punishments to chill students’ speech. The disciplinary actions become a tool, she said, to help universities keep track of people involved in protests for #Palestine."
