FIFA altering football’s rules to force "hydration breaks" for lucrative commercial ad revenue proves they can force change whenever they want. Yet they stood by while the US weaponized visas & forced Iran to commute from Mexico like a Sunday league team. Corrupt double standards

Even under extreme siege and blocked from receiving oil, Cuban doctors and rescuers come to the aid of the earthquake and coup ravaged Venezuelan people.

More than 1400 people are confirmed killed by the earthquakes in Venezuela, with tens of thousands more still not accounted for.

The United States has over 900 sanctions in force against Venezuela, greatly hindering relief efforts.

@jinath And they were the only #lka GoSL to start a #cleansrilanka initiative. Who are they kidding ? Oh - forgot the 70% who voted them in. #srilanka

It is NOT the media who is in a garbage pile, but it is the authorities who need to urgently get their act together & start work & clean up the mess especially in Colombo as dengue has now become an epidemic and Colombo alone is facing 50 pct of the cases.

Do not blame the media for reporting the truth!

Luciano despertó del terremoto sin sus papás.
Sobrevivió a la tragedia, pero ahora está solo, con el corazón roto, en una cama del Hospital Universitario de Caracas, mirando al vacío y preguntando por mamá y papá.
Un niño pequeño, huérfano de golpe, en medio de tanto dolor.
Oremos con el alma por Luciano y por todos nuestros hermanos venezolanos que hoy cargan esta inmensa tristeza. 🙏

[Ender Torres @Ender_Etz]

Ese abrazo al final me partió el alma.
Gracias por esos hombres que ayudan a encontrar a personas aún con vida tras la tragedia en Venezuela.

@Dailymirror_SL Vilified the army and now using them to clean up. This govt is a joke. We were told JVP expats would fly down to clean up the country.

@BasnayakeM Are we going back to the 70s era ? Ppl of #srilanka shld get over accepting handouts (even subsidies) and instead demand that the #GoSL improve their cost of living and empower them to earn sufficient to cover it. Such a beggarly mentality to inspire in ppl. 😡#lka #srilanka

"Consequently, the government’s most effective course of action is also the simplest – investigate every allegation without fear or favour: no sacred cows, no protected individuals, no politically convenient blind spots. Such an approach is also necessary for another reason. Sri Lanka’s history contains too many examples of controversial suspects dying under suspicious circumstances before they could fully disclose what they knew. Whether through alleged shootouts, mysterious illnesses or other convenient explanations, critical witnesses have often disappeared before investigators could unravel the larger networks behind major crimes."

U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 100% tariff on imports from any country that introduces a Digital Services Tax targeting American companies.

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said several European countries were discussing the imminent implementation of a Digital Services Tax on U.S. companies, with some close to introducing the measure.

He warned that any country imposing such a tax would “immediately be met with a 100% tariff” on all goods exported to the United States.

Trump further said the tariff would supersede any existing or future trade agreements with the country concerned and would take effect immediately if the tax was implemented.

The warning comes as the United States continues to oppose Digital Services Taxes adopted or proposed by several countries, arguing that they disproportionately target major American technology companies.

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka is set to introduce an 18% Value Added Tax (VAT) on digital services supplied by non-resident companies from July 1. However, unlike the Digital Services Taxes referred to by Trump, Sri Lanka’s measure is a VAT on foreign digital services consumed locally rather than a separate tax specifically targeting the revenues of large U.S. technology companies.

When the Iranian World Cup football team is the only one out of 64 that has to camp outside of the United States before and after its games within the United States and when just coincidentally the Iranian team has had the MOST disallowed goals of any other team in the World Cup – – meaning they scored and then FIFA took back the point– – one can’t deny that the Iranian team is being targeted and handicapped by the US. I’m embarrassed of my country but then again I have been ever since Trump became any kind of a so-called president. This is so disgusting.

💢Shame on FIFA for dragging politics onto the pitch.⚽️🏆👎
Three games, three disallowed goals, all ending in draws. You can't tell me this isn't rigged. FIFA has clearly politicized this #WorldCup to keep Iran from advancing.🇮🇷 That extra-time goal was CLEARLY onside. Disgraceful.

[Mal @UtdMaI]

Iran played three matches.
They drew all three.
And in every single one, they fought with heart, pride, and dignity.

But after their final match, the host nation reportedly demanded they leave immediately.
No time to recover. No time to rest. Just pack up and go.

That is not how you treat athletes.
That is not how you treat human beings.

Despite the pressure, the restrictions, and everything stacked against them, Iran kept showing resilience.

This team deserves respect, not mistreatment.

That’s the spirit of the World Cup.

[Sulaiman Ahmed @ShaykhSulaiman]

IRANIAN TEAM LEFT THIS MESSAGE AFTER THEIR WORLD CUP MATCH AGAINST EGYPT:

"We come from Iran…

From a land that, for thousands of years, has placed honor above victory.

For us, football is not only a competition for results, it is a test of character.

Perhaps points can be won in many ways, but respect cannot. Perhaps a team can advance from a group, but only through fairness and honor can one stand tall before history.

Fair play is not just a line in football's rules, it is the soul of the game.

Thank you, Seattle, for your hospitality

And thank you to all Iranians... who gave their hearts, their voices, and their whole being for Iran.

Iran, always standing tall."

[Manolo De Los Santos @manolo_realengo]

The US and EU are sitting on over $30 billion of Venezuela’s own frozen assets while its people are buried under rubble. Sending aid is not enough. Lift every sanction now. Those same sanctions have for years blocked the heavy equipment needed to dig people out.
