Members of Chicago’s SEIU Local 73 file ethics complaint against State Treasurer Frerichs as bond expiration deadline looms
Chicago, IL – On Thursday, January 22, organizers in Anti-War Committee (AWC), Chicago, United States Palestinian Community Network (USPCN), and BDS Chicago braved the cold to host a press conference demanding that Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs divest state funds from Israel Bonds. They were joined by rank-and-file members of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 73 to announce that they are filing their third ethics complaint against Frerichs for his investments.

If, like me, any spare money you have is in 'tracker' or 'index linked' funds then quite likely you have at least some of your money invested in American corporations. If, like me, this causes anguish then, like me, you may be looking for alternatives. After a shopping session to get a few things for the workshop got mildly out of hand, let me present to you....
Nuts and bolts!
They have so many practical uses as well as what they were designed for: fixing things together.*
They can be used as fishing weights, raw materials for your post-apocalyptic foundry, jewelry, barter currency etc etc. Try that with your bitcoin or GPU!
OK, I'm off to corner the market in big nut, see you later...

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”

Time to fuck around has been over for a LONG time. Every single decent person needs to be doing SOMETHING, and doing it AGGRESSIVELY AND RELENTLESSLY. Economic boycott and corporate divestment are key. Its one of the most effective ways you can weaken fascists, its perfectly legal, provides plausible deniability, and you can do it as part of your daily life. Depending on how you do it, it can also be great for making friends and learning skills. Instead of paying them to hurt us, pay a small local business to help keep their lights on. Make a one time donation to an open source software project instead of paying a scammy subscription every month to some assholes. Learn to fix things instead of buying new. It makes a huge difference. But do it now. We are running out of time.
@louisrcouture He is signaling that rich MAGA will pay for murderers who target antifascists via online fundraiser sites.
Karp, appeasing Donald Senior.
So gross.
“SORKIN OK, so I want to ask you this. And it's a Trump question. You wrote your college thesis on fascism. There's a view, and I'm curious where you land. Do you think that President Trump is a fas-cist?”
“KARP I think that's stupid, honestly. And you know what? Again, you can go all day on this stuff. It's honestly idiotic. I grew up half my life in Germany. I spent time with actual fascists. I went and talked to lots of former Nazis. We have a democratic society, and you know, he won in a landslide.

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. https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/lessons-learned-from-the-tiktok-saga #TikTok #SocialMedia #Divest #China #USGov #Algorithms #ByteDance #NationalSecurity
#Europe is so weak that it can't force #Facebook to #divest.
In September, the US and China reached a deal on TikTok, the Chinese-owned social media app that faced being banned in the US if its parent company, ByteDance, did not divest. After talks in Madrid, Beijing and Washington agreed to a deal in which the platform would switch to US-controlled ownership. China called the agreement a “win-win”.

@loganer Except "#AI" solely is being pushed as a #Bubble to #precariate #WageWork, increase #Theft from #Society to #Billionares and espechally #defund and #divest #PublicInfrastructure and #Education.
- Their theoretical benefits are clearly outweighted by their disadvantages - just like with CFC-11 & Tetraethyllead.
Calling an NPC an "AI" is far fetched given it's merely a #bot with a set list of rules to follow.
Remember that at long as capitalism exists, you can fight back financially.
Boycott by not buying their shit.
Divest by not paying them shit.
Sanction by not giving them shit.
Starve the oligarchy and support eachother instead.
Don't pay them to hurt you.
Yesterday I signed up a #BDS #petition to ask #Lambeth to #divest from #genocide enabling #pension funds: currently a whooping £52M in complict investments in #Amazon, #Alphabet (aka #Google), #Israel Government Bonds & Israel Chemicals Ltd.
The #Palestine Solidarity campaign created a great database, where you can look up your own #localCouncil investments. You can then hop to the tab 'local petitions' to find your own local petition.

It's past time to #DefundIsrael. #Divest from everything #Israel and not give them another red cent of help. We cannot continue to support or stand by and do nothing while they commit #genocide and steal the land of those who once welcomed them and shared their homeland with them after #WWII
