Uh same to you? Did you check up on how that case from 2018 ended? She won and they changed the law, and the latest I found with a quick search is that CAIR was appealing to get Texas to pay her the compensation she was owed from the original trial but denied because since the state changed the law Texas was arguing they no longer had to pay the original amount awarded (typical Texas, big fuck you to Ken Paxton)

The original law in Texas that got Bahia Amawi fired was amended in 2019 to avoid targeting individuals and only apply to companies applying or bidding for contracts greater than $100,000.

(WASHINGTON, DC, 4/5/2022) – The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, argued yesterday before the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit on behalf of Bahia Amawi, defending an Austin, Texas, federal court’s decision to award Amawi more than $140,000 for costs and attorney fees after winning her landmark First Amendment victory against the State of Texas, which found Texas’s Anti-BDS law unconstitutional.

Did you have another example?

I was actually reading this wikipedia page earlier after posting and it seemed like these Anti-BDS laws only apply to government offices and government contractors

Most anti-BDS laws have taken one of two forms: contract-focused laws requiring government contractors to promise that they are not boycotting Israel; and investment-focused laws, mandating public investment funds to avoid entities boycotting Israel.

A broad law mandating that the public at large can’t not buy certain products, or can’t ask others to do the same would be unenforceable I would think – though I’m not going to doubt the Roberts Court ability to find some way to make something that absurd law if asked by their king…

Everyone’s actually required to buy a Tesla now or else they’re gonna be in really big trouble

Not surprising – McLaren gets to keep the most successful current driver pairing on the grid for two more years and Piastri gets to keep a seat in the most recent WCC-winning car for two more years. Makes sense to have Piastri there for the first year of the new regs in 2026 too

Declaring a boycott as illegal is itself illegal and a violation of the 1st Amendment 🌷🌈🖕

That’s right, I think foreign born citizens can hold any office except president or vp

Nationalize SpaceX and deport Musk to South Africa where he belongs.

(Ok maybe nationalize it under the next administration… if there is a next one)

Sounds like the CEO is the one who needs to resign

Those are rookie numbers… I hope see it drop to its pre-pandemic valuation over the next year 📉

So, what paths are still available for us to preserve and restore those civic freedoms?

“Many of you may have to suffer while I destroy our alliances and funnel your money to billionaires, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.”

Interesting video. Makes sense to have a dedicated high frame rate camera for crash analysis.

I didn’t realize there’s only a 1/3 second delay from car to broadcast! I always thought it was more like a second+

And GC continues its decades-long tradition of steadily declining

The original Digg was an important site for me personally between 2005-2009, but only in that early era and mostly as a bridge between my Fark and Reddit eras. I honestly can’t see it competing with Reddit’s established user base or being as no-nonsense and free as Lemmy. I don’t think it will gain traction and the AI aspect will turn a lot of people off from it.

The idea of a Cadillac F1 team always seemed weird to me, but this take makes a ton of sense. I guess Cadillac seems more fitting than a Buick or GM marque, but I still think they should have gone with Chevrolet since there are / have been existing Chevy motorsport teams.

Tyler Hassen and Bryton Shang are fascist toadies.

That’s gotta suck, crashing your moon lander less than a week after another company nailed their landing.

I understand they need to have a broad appeal to different groups, moreso than republicans do, but they could easily achieve that same broad appeal by actually fighting for the working class and not doing things like steamrolling Bernie. The out of touch nature of current leadership is effectively neutering the party.

It would be a good thing long term for progressives to finally split from dems IMHO, though I wish we would have a ranked choice type system in place beforehand, but either way it needs to happen.

The DNC is pretty much always playing it too safe…
