If you read this page on their website. The BDS movement says that they have different levels of targets. There is a "consumer boycott" category which says that you should not buy any products from those Brands. Then there is a "pressure target" category. It explains that a Pressure target is a company that you should "boycott when reasonable alternatives exist".

Inside of the Pressure Target category includes other very large companies: Google, Amazon, Disney. If I understand correctly, Microsoft will also be considered a pressure target, which means that avoiding a Microsoft product is not always possible. Example, many people use Microsoft as an operating system either at home or at work.

The BDS page for Microsoft, which was added to their website today, says "As a consumer, boycott Microsoft products whenever possible." It also gives you a lot of other pressure options, including "send a letter to Microsoft executives demanding that Microsoft end its complicity in Israel’s AI-powered genocide of Palestinians", "join or start a campaign to pressure your university to cut ties with Microsoft by divesting from the company", "pressure your local government to divest from Microsoft", "sign the workers’ petition at: noaa.cc/sign".

Obviously your post is in bad faith and honestly disgusting. You see a post where people are being silenced for supporting Palestine and you are trying to shift the blame to someone you don't like a personal level. You saw pro-palestinian and pro-lebanese voices getting silenced, 2 of these people have family being bombed, and you try to make this into an opportunity to stir up drama. You are gross.

All of the people who were banned are friends of Hasan and have direct communication with Hasan. None of the people who are banned would want Hasan to stop streaming. They like that he reports Israel's crimes to thousands or millions of people. It is very likely that Hasan is talking to them right now to try to help them out and possibly also talking with twitch to try to get rid of the bans.

Biden endorsed Kamala on twitter but it's not his decision. The candidate will likely be chosen by the DNC in August.

From the Tucker Carlson interview. Putin compares Russia with the US. Putin says "We are bourgeois now as you are. We are a market economy and there is no communist party with power."

The origin of this thread was that the D*stiny subreddit had suspected that Hasan Piker had gone on a date with Paris Jackson, Michael Jackson's daughter. LiberalSocialist often reposted threads from the D*stiny subreddit. LiberalSocialist was a very obvious wrecker from the start.

Paris Jackson was 19, almost 20 at the time. Hasan Piker was 26. Paris Jackson was also incredibly wealthy at the time. This was before Hasan had money or fame, it was before he even started his twitch channel. If there was any power dynamic in this situation, it was the multimillionaire heiress who had the power. I don't think a romance was ever even confirmed. Also I think they are still friends who keep in touch.

DPRK reports a failed satellite launch.

KCNA Report on Accident in Launch of Military Reconnaissance Satellite

Pyongyang, May 27 (KCNA) -- The Korean Central News Agency made public the following report on May 27 as regards an accident occurred during the launch of military reconnaissance satellite:

The National Aerospace Technology Administration (NATA) of the DPRK conducted the launch of reconnaissance satellite Malligyong-1-1 aboard the new-type satellite carrier rocket at the Sohae Satellite Launching Ground in Cholsan County of North Phyongan Province on May 27, Juche 113 (2024).

The launch failed due to the air blast of the new-type satellite carrier rocket during the first-stage flight, the vice general director of the NATA said.

He said that the experts' examination of the field headquarters of the non-permanent preparatory committee for launching satellites made a preliminary conclusion that the cause of the accident is attributable to the reliability of operation of the newly developed liquid oxygen + petroleum engine, adding that other causes will be examined. -0-

He reviewed the tank crews involved in the match and encourage them.

The tankmen who were greatly encouraged by the great brilliant commander's inspection, an expression of his deep trust, alongside their glorious colors on the training ground, extended deep gratitude to him.

After reviewing the tank crews, he mounted a new-type main battle tank, took the control lever and drove the tank himself, adding to the high militant spirit of the tankmen and instilling in them thoroughgoing outlooks on the enemy and war.

All the officers and men of the tank units raised stormy cheers of hurrah, looking up to the invincible and iron-willed brilliant commander.

"We express our deep condolences for the death of Akira Toriyama and express our sincere condolences to his family," said China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning at a regular news conference on Friday.

"Mr Toriyama is a famous manga artist, and his works are also very popular in China. I noticed that many Chinese netizens also expressed condolences for his death.

"We expect and believe that more people of insight in Japan will actively participate in Sino-Japanese cultural exchanges and the cause of friendship between the two countries," Mao said.

The announcement posted on the Dragon Ball official site stated: "It's our deep regret that he still had several works in the middle of creation with great enthusiasm … We hope that Akira Toriyama's unique world of creation continues to be loved by everyone for a long time to come."

Or because it's probably just 1 person who published this and organized "concerned us military service members" don't exist.

An open letter like this is supposed to be signed by a bunch of organizations so that individuals can't be punished. If the "letter" is addressed to nobody and is signed by nobody, then it's not a letter. It's just an anonymous twitter post.

The whole purpose of an open letter is having powerful people behind the message of the letter. Big organizations, famous individuals, etc. Otherwise it just looks fake.

Greetings to Palestinian FM

Pyongyang, November 30 (KCNA) -- DPRK Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui sent a message of greeting to Riad Al Malki, minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of the State of Palestine, on November 29 on the occasion of the Day of World's Solidarity with the Palestinian People.

The message wished the Palestinian people success in their just struggle to found an independent state with Eastern Kuds as its capital, strongly censuring thrice-cursed unethical and anti-humanitarian atrocities of Israel, which is indiscriminately killing innocent Palestinian people despite the unanimous protest and denunciation of the peace-loving people of the world, and the one-sided policy toward Israel of the U.S. which patronizes its atrocities. -0-

I think that Israel is now targeting Haaretz because Haaretz recently published the article about Israeli Apache Helicopters killing concertgoers at the music festival.

Reconnaissance satellite is what the DPRK is calling the satellite but western media is calling it "spy" satellite. I put quotes to emphasize the terminology used by the DPRK. I am not doubting or mocking the DPRK.
