Jordan Edwards seems to be a rather exact parallel- the cops blaming their murder on a noise rather than attempting to smear the victim.

In how it’s been enforced so far, yes. The current regulations require that you be engaged in “operations” in or relating to a boycotting country. Even if you’re an employee in e.g. Qatar, you’re not covered.

The OAC’s website is very useful for seeing what enforcement looks like -

Section 11 of the lae being amended which was itself amended in the past to up the penalties to what the ACLU said (except I’m pretty sure it’s a maximum not minimum civil penalty)

There’s actually been a ban on assisting the Arab league boycott of Israel since 1979 - what that looks like in practice is that about 750 companies have paid fines for certifying to Arab countries that the stuff they were shipping wasn’t Israeli or on an Israeli ship.

Just wanted to chip in to say I think your core point was correct - the person who wrote the headline made a mistake in using the clickbait format “everyone ... except” which does erase other people’s experiences. I think if you ignore the headline, the article is actually fine, acknowledging that the experience isn’t…

This is generally not true, though there are some big exceptions regarding US diplomatic and military personnel. See Morrison v. National Australia Bank, 561 U.S. 247 255 (2010)

The Charlemagne one is likely true if you’re Western European due to the math.

An ethnostate that enforces a brutal apartheid.

About as many times as the ANC refused to accept an apartheid state.

Jewish =/= Israeli =/= Zionist.

Spencer’s not a fair comparison, but she is an unapologetic advocate for an illegal occupation and war crimes.

Alamo for All is for anyone who needs/prefers that experience and is open to all.

Anyone know whether it’s legal or not?

The danger of deferred adjudication. There’s a guy in Texas who took a deferred adjudication on a murder charge the state couldn’t prove and ended up with a life sentence for drug possession.

Different war, but still a great song.

You can’t steal culture.

Counterpoint: representation matters.

Kids used to be beaten for speaking spanish in public school where I live. That was bad. Anglos learning spanish is not bad and takes nothing away from Chicanos.

Important and bad: Black girls being suspended.
