A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

This is misleading. Colorado doesn't have a law restricting government contracts with companies boycotting Israel. It DOES have a law preventing the state pension from investing in companies that boycott Israel though.

This is probably more accurately a map of states with Anti-BDS laws supporting Israel.

Not to be confused with anti bdsm laws

I'm non-US so I can't comment one way or another about the facts, but the map at that link is identical.

That would seem to support his claim then.

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.

That's because it includes both of these in the category. The discrepancy is probably because the OP image slightly misrepresents what the map is saying.

Gov contract does not equal Investment? The Colorado law is specifically about their state pension called PERA ans how that pension is invested.

While I don't support the law, it only restricts how that pension is invested. It has nothing to do with a companies ability to get a state contract for work.

I can't tell if you're joking.... With the copy paste of your comment...

Anti-BDS law states are what the OP post seemingly shows. But the headline in OPs post doesn't say that, it says government contracts, which is a more specific case of anti-bds law.
