Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib had no problems keeping their jobs. It’s almost like they are different from the all the losers in their party in some way (hint: it’s nothing to do with race or gender).

Yes. I always thought of sanctions as being finance-related, meaning you can’t transact with sanctioned groups. I figured it couldn’t apply to decision-making/membership in non-profit organizations (that it might somehow violate “free speech” or some shit). Finding out this is not the case is terrifying and one more reason to hate the US (not that we needed more). This might disincentivize some people to contribute to FOSS.
You couldn’t get more “clear cut” than what Israel is doing. It’s also a matter of degree. Invading another country is bad, but it is not a holocaust.
Besides, boycotting Russian products makes no sense in the West given that they are already sanctioned to hell. You’d have to go out of your way to send them money.
