In a landmark decision, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors voted to adopt an Ethical Investment Policy (EIP) that bars the county from investing public funds in companies complicit in severe human rights violations as outlined by international law, including corporate complicity in Israel's ongoing genocide in Palestine.
With this decision, Alameda County becomes the first in the United States to adopt an EIP that divests from companies that enable Israeli apartheid and occupation.
The new policy brings the county's investments in line with international human rights standards and the demands of a growing national movement for Palestinian liberation. It is a victory for the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement.
We are energized to ensure the policy's full implementation and to back campagisn that will build on the BDS movement, like the Oakland People's Arms Embargo.
VICTORY! ALAMEDA COUNTY DIVESTS FROM GENOCIDE!
On October 3rd, Alameda County became the first in the United States to adopt an EIP that divests from companies that enable Israeli apartheid and occupation.

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children
Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.
Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.
Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

There was a Puerto Rican woman on one of the flotillas. The USA government didn't even care to reclaim her from Israel's grasp. It was the Czech Republic stepping in.
I hope this settles the circular argument about "Puerto Ricans are Americans" you libs love to have.

In his final interview, which was about public sociology, Michael Burawoy said that students โare our primary public as academics.โ
I appreciate his point cuz critiques about academics being cut off from the public and only in conversation with other academics ignore the crucial work of teaching.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.โ These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.
ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.
A judge has ordered his immediate release.

We are here because policing in the U.S. has been this way for generations. This is why ICE acts with impunity. They know they can act this way.

Just to be clear, numerous local police departments were working in tandem with federal agents this morning to shut down protests against the Broadview ICE detention center. ICE and cops (and other federal agents) were shoulder to shoulder, doing maneuvers together to violently repress the crowd.
