The FBI raided and arrested 7 pro-Palestine activists this morning for their involvement in student organizing at UMich. They are still targeting the student movement. Please spread the word about this. Donate to the legal fund in this thread
Journalism isn’t repeating things that stupid racist assholes say. It’s putting it in the context with the facts. Reuters is trash and racist and dumb as hell like the admin they run interference for.
The Trump administration said the United States had denied Somali soccer referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan entry for the World Cup because of his links to ‘suspected members of terror organizations’ https://t.co/3SEFBPxxar
Fuck you, @washingtonpost . Amal did not ‘die,’ she was deliberately targeted and murdered after receiving threats from the Israeli army. She was in touch with us, her colleagues, during this situation. We all know exactly what happened. Shame on you for intentionally diminishing the criminality of the actions of the Israeli army with this headline. Shame on all of you and your correspondents in Beirut.
I hope to see you on trial for your propaganda in my lifetime.
Yesterday Israel killed an 8 year old boy in Gaza wearing a backpack on the way home from school.
His name was Jad.
The only reason western mainstream news outlets didn’t report on his killing is because he’s Palestinian.
It has emerged that Somali referee Omar Artan, who was denied entry to the United States for the #2026WorldCup, was interrogated for 11 hours at the border.
Artan described his experience with the following words:
“I am just a referee trying to live out his biggest dream, to go to the World Cup.
I am really, really disappointed. I had the proper documents and the correct visa. I think they have a problem with my country.”
Israel is denying food to hungry children in Gaza because its angry it can’t keep murdering children in Iran & Lebanon. Most genocidal country in the world.
We’ve reached the point where Nazi Germany placed less restrictions on foreign participation in the 1936 Olympics than has the United States for the upcoming FIFA World Cup.
Dirty rotten scoundrel Gianni Infantino must never be allowed to live down his obsequious sycophancy towards the US leadership.
So @FIFAcom’s position is that a referee they selected for the World Cup can be excluded because of one host country’s racism, and FIFA bears no responsibility whatsoever.
Then why wasn’t he assigned to Canada or Mexico?
The tournament has three host countries. The obstacle is one country, not the entire World Cup. So why isn't FIFA finding a solution?
What FIFA is really saying is that when officials from the Global South are discriminated against, accommodation is impossible and exclusion is acceptable.
A World Cup that only works for holders of the right passports is not a global tournament. It’s a privilege masquerading as one.
Someone needs to post the host state agreement between FIFA and the U.S. because this is absolutely insane and totally out of keeping with the ways in which host city agreements in the U.S. seem to operate (FIFA mostly calls the shots in those agreements).
The Senegalese 🇸🇳 delegation gets this treatment on arrival in the USA. Full tarmac searches, shoes off, bags turned inside out like criminals.
This is straight up humiliation and a disgrace. They’d never put white boys through the same.
Suddenly all the people who cared about human rights when Russia and Qatar hosted the world cup and suddenly quiet. .. No fancy documentary from the BBC on immigrants rights. No expose on Crime in inner cities (as we saw in South Africa)
Just silence.
This is about you hijacking our politics to send our taxpayer money to a foreign government to conduct genocide and apartheid while the children in our own country go without basic healthcare and good schools.
THAT’S what this is about.
Stacey King was basically the voice of my childhood. I have so many amazing memories listening to his iconic calls over the years, there truly won’t be another commentator like him.
Absolutely devastating to hear he passed, rest in peace to an absolute legend
