What sparked the chaos in Los Angeles this weekend? Community organizer Ron Gochez says ICE agents "kidnapping people" led to fierce resistance from local residents who are "sick and tired of these attacks that are dividing and separating our families."

Introduced in House (01/31/2025)
IGO Anti-Boycott Act

This bill expands an existing anti-boycott law to include certain boycotts imposed by international governmental organizations (IGOs).

Current law prohibits various actions by U.S. persons (individuals or entities) in relation to boycotts imposed by foreign governments on a country which is friendly to the United States and that is not itself the object of a U.S. boycott. This bill applies those prohibitions to similar boycotts imposed by IGOs.

Prohibited actions include (1) refusing to do business with companies organized under the laws of the boycotted country, if the refusal is pursuant to an agreement with or request from the country or IGO imposing the boycott; (2) refusing to employ any U.S. person on the basis of race, religion, sex, or national origin; and (3) furnishing information about whether someone is associated with charitable or fraternal organizations that support the boycotted country.

The bill also requires the President to annually submit to Congress and make available to the public a report describing these boycotts and listing the foreign countries and international organizations involved in fostering or imposing them.

๐ŸšจNEWS: The House is set to vote Monday on H.R. 867, the โ€œIGO Anti-Boycott Act,โ€ which would punish Americans with fines up to $1 million or prison terms up to 20 years for joining boycotts of Israel or its settlements promoted by international governmental organizations (IGOs), such as the UN or EU.

Democrats have almost endless money, power, access, media control, and soft power, and yet have not accomplished anything for ordinary working people in decades.

In that same span they have helped their corporate donors reap unimaginable profits.

They donโ€™t give a good God damn about you.

Trump needs to put up or shut up IN COURT
YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen Trump needs to put up or shut up IN COURT

When you defy court orders and deny one man his Constitutional rights, you threaten them for ALL.

Trump can post all he wants, but a federal judge said there's โ€œno evidence linking Abrego Garcia to MS-13 or to any terrorist activity.โ€

Trump needs to put up or shut up IN COURT.

BREAKING: Mahmoud Khalil Can Be Deported, Immigration Judge Rules The judge said the Trump administrationโ€™s evidence โ€“ a two-page letter from Secretary of State Marco Rubio โ€“ is sufficient to deport Khalil under an obscure legal provision.

Chilling. They are saying that simply taking action in opposition to US foreign policy is grounds for deportation.

Think of the proud lineage of protests against US-backed wars, coups, torture...

This is a great point. For example, when I look back at the epochal changes of this past January, I would personally have voted not to confirm Marco Rubio

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie.

America, people. Freedom and stuff.

Dear Dr. Abdelhadi,



The Keough School of Global Affairs, which houses the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, recently learned of your keynote speech at their student conference next weekend. The University of Notre Dame requires that all events or lectures related to Israel/Palestine have ND Police security and planning.  We were unaware of your planned lecture, and since this conference overlaps with two other annual events on campus, we cannot provide security at short notice. For this reason, we respectfully request that you do not participate in the conference. The Kroc Institute will honor any honorarium that was awarded for this event. We apologize for any inconvenience. 



Sincerely,

Mary Gallagher

I was scheduled to give a talk on Palestine at a student conference at @notredame.bsky.social. The University rescinded my talk a week in advance citing an extremely flimsy excuse. It is truly disgusting. Attached is the letter I received and my reply, link below...

And the day after they expire, the president can impose new tariffs. How does this help?

This doesn't seem like enough. 60 days can cause a lot of damage. AND he'll game things by just renewing them.

The only real fix is to take the damn power to do this away from him!

Salam. I don't know if we'll survive.
A stifling siege and a famine resembling the end of the world. Electricity has been cut off, wells have dried up, and the air has burned. We're experiencing a real famine, to the point where we'll start eating animal food.
For the second year.

American universities- bastions of liberals - folding like cheap suits, falling over themselves to provide cover for genocide & shred the constitution reminds us that liberalism is fascism too.

History will remember your complicity & cowardice
