quote:

The council voted 5-0 last Thursday to plan a review of the city’s contracts and investments to ensure that none of them support companies or entities that have violated human, civil or labor rights around the world.


quote:

On its surface, the resolution looked innocuous and made no reference to any specific human rights violations. But the City Council’s public relations firm, the Spears Group, put out a summary of the council meeting Thursday that clearly stated the resolution was “in accordance with the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, also known as BDS."


quote:

The passage of the resolution was immediately trumpeted by pro-Palestinian groups as a watershed moment: they claimed it was the first official support for BDS from a Southern American city.


woke

Farrakhan would be proud.

Good Lord. Montana or Idaho sounds nice. I deal with the cold fairly well for a Southerner

The idiots probably assumed it was an anti-white thing, like statue removal.

I'm honestly pretty floored that Mayor-Elect Cantrell would fall victim to such an oversight, given her illustrious pedigree (BA-sociology from Xavier-NOLA, and Executive Management certificate from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government).

It’s remarkable you’d choose to live in Louisiana if you can work from anywhere.

More than anything, it shows just how dumb the leadership is. Just vote on anything with no knowledge whatsoever.

They knew what they were voting on. Don’t fall victim to the pleas of ignorance.

New Orleans has always been a shithole. But at one time it was a lovable shithole.

Don’t you live with your parents on the West Bank? Being an Uber driver is not a real job, but yea, you can work anywhere you choose.

I think a few of the council members knew exactly what they were voting on and others followed because on the surface it was about not doing business with “oppressive groups”. I can’t see someone like Stacy Head voting for this if they knew why and who wanted it passed.
