C'est donc l'UEFA, l'instance du football européen, qui a fait quelque chose pour un arbitre africain et non la propre Confédération africaine de football
La soumission des dirigeants de la CAF envers la FIFA n'a jamais été aussi forte (au détriment même du football africain)
FIFA's president can invent a farcical peace prize to flatter the ego of the president of the United States and spend months pandering to his political project, but Haiti's national team can't acknowledge their national struggle for independence because it's too "political"
So far at the 2026 FIFA Epstein Cup before a ball kicked:
- Senegal & Uzbekistan squads treated like criminals upon arrival given full cavity searches;
- Africa’s best referee sent back to Somalia despite having a diplomatic passport;
- Iraq team photographer sent back despite valid visa;
- AIPS (international sport journalist association) calling on FIFA to sort out unacceptable visa issues of African & Iranian journalists;
- 90% of Moroccan fans with tickets denied entry
- 14 members of Iran backroom staff denied visas
Not a word from Gianni ”today I feel black/gay/disabled etc” Infantino.
Les billets alloués à l'Iran 🇮🇷 pour ses supporters ont été supprimés (sans raison officielle pour le moment)
Pour rappel, le règlement permet à chaque fédération participante d'obtenir 8% des places de la capacité totale du stade
Un droit qui ne concerne visiblement pas la fédération iranienne de football...
FL police use A.I. to identify a vehicle theft suspect from surveillance video. Based on an "85% match" they arrest and charge Jalil Richardson. He spends 3 months in jail. He loses his job, his home, and custody of his kids.
Richardson lives in N.C.
He's never been to Florida. And his timesheet shows him at work at the time of the crime. No one checked before charging him. https://t.co/2AcQYwq30f
Ben-Gvir doesn't represent Israel.
The Israeli government doesn't represent Israel.
Polls don't represent Israel.
Israelis on social media don't represent Israel.
Only thing that represents Israel: C-list celebs who took a trip to Tel Aviv and now Understand The Middle East.
One of the sleazier media tropes is when the US menaces a much smaller country that’s done nothing to the US and it’s framed as “heightened tensions” between the two countries. Cuba is being unilaterally starved and threatened by the US. That’s not “tensions,” it’s US aggression.
I am drafting a response to a journalist regarding Israel's abuse of the flotilla activists
Gmail's AI is telling me that using the words
"Israel's genocide in Gaza"
could be "improved" by replacing "genocide" with "actions."
Sorry tech overlords. You'll have to try harder
it's genuinely crazy that Elon got free reign to do the exact thing that every "just cut spending" dipshit has wanted to do for decades, it failed catastrophically, and they're still running the exact same script like nothing happened
This CBS interview w Thomas Massie is insane.
Massie: “my policy has always been, no country is special and no country deserves my constituents’ taxpayer dollars.
So I’ve never voted for foreign aid, to Egypt, to Syria, to Israel or to Ukraine… but the ones in Israel … they are the biggest recipients so they are mad.” […]
CBS: “…are you antisemitic?”
Tonight, after a year of screaming about holding ICE accountable, 144 House Democrats joined 203 Republicans to pass CORCA, a bill that grants DHS and ICE sweeping new power to collect American citizens' personal information under the guise of combating retail theft.
Reuters complicit in the ethnic cleansing of southern Lebanon by deliberately omitting the fact that this is a white phosphorus bomb.
Using white phosphorus near civilian populations is a war crime.
