Maryland pension system divests 85% of Israeli Bond holdings amid pressure campaign

Last month the Maryland Break the Bonds Campaign, a local coalition of organizations and activists, announced that the Maryland State Retirement and Pension System has divested roughly 85% of its Israeli bond holdings.

The move represents a $62 million in divestment from Israeli sovereign bonds and is believed largest state-level divestment from Israeli bonds thus far.

"I’m with CAIR Maryland, the Council on American Islamic Relations, and we are a coalition member of the Break the Bonds campaign in Maryland. We’ve been working closely with Jewish Voice voice for Peace’s DC Metro and Baltimore chapters to hold our state’s pension and retirement system accountable and making sure that they are divesting state funds, pension funds, from Israeli bonds."

-->This is a big win for divestment. The story if covered by a number of Jewish organizations, but nothing from the NYT, which treats the BDS movement like it treats Bernie.

 

The Intercept:
"The United States is feeding Pentagon propaganda to internet users in Latin American countries using a new AI-laden content mill, an investigation by The Intercept has found.

La Tilde quietly began development early this year and appears to still be a work in progress, pitching itself as a modern media brand for Latin American audiences with articles published in both Spanish and English. Its name references the accent mark emphasizing vowels in Spanish; “news with an accent” is the site’s catchphrase. ...

So far, La Tilde’s coverage amounts to an unusual blend of personal finance tips (“Why instant payments matter so much for your business and your wallet”) and articles extolling the value of U.S. military operations in Latin America (“Operation Absolute Resolve: The mission that captured Nicolás Maduro and set a new standard for precision and coordination”).

Its article on the U.S. abduction of the Venezuelan president praises the mission in Trumpian prose, calling it “The Perfect Operation – Coordination, Timing and Precision at an Unprecedented Scale,” and “a military operation of coordination and accuracy never seen before.” Citing “information obtained exclusively by La Tilde,” it describes the operation’s tactical brilliance, flawless execution, and incredibly precise coordination of military assets in the air and on the ground."

-->The Pentagon's AI propaganda isn't covered by the NYT. We get all sorts of stories about AI, but nothing on how our Pentagon uses it.
