This, the refusal to allow Omar Artan to referee, the continual shitty treatment of the Iranian team.
It's striking to me how petty, cruel, and base American empire has become. Not the kind of viciousness you expect from power and confidence, but from decline and resentment.
The games have been great but this has really been such a terrible World Cup outside of those stadiums. FIFA was banking on the excitement over the games quieting the political conversation, but the mistreatment of so many teams and fans have been the defining story.
Being part of a generation that was told “Wikipedia is not a source” makes it genuinely baffling to me that jobs are now telling people to just use ChatGPT for everything.
My name is Josh Turek. I am a 2-time gold medalist, 4-time Paralympian in wheelchair basketball, one of the first permanently disabled members of the Iowa House, and I am honored to be Iowa's Democratic nominee for United States Senate.

“The students who cannot read a 20-page article today are the voters who will not be able to read a bill, or the jurors who cannot follow a closing argument, tomorrow.”
VERY misleading. Vote totals from 2022 in the 12 precincts where Turek was running:
#IASen: Grassley 3,698, Franken 3,140
#IAGov: Reynolds 3,789, DeJear 2,908
Auditor: Halbur 3,622, Sand 3,127
HD-20: Abdouch 3,397, Turek 3,403
NOT an underperformance.

This war is costing a billion dollars a day. In one fucking month we will spend more over there than we needed to save healthcare for more than 2 million Americans. They literally are taking away your food and your healthcare for this regime change war of choice.
unbelievably grim that you can ignore the prompt of an assignment to go on a barely coherent screed where you call your professor a "demon," then when your professor gives you undeservedly thoughtful feedback and a bad grade you can run to the media and get her placed on leave
