The Canadian prime minister even spoke of a “rupture” between the U.S. under Trump and its Western allies that would never be repaired.

CAF should boycott over USAID cuts.
Everyone should boycott because of ICE.

I’m a huge soccer fan. I was so excited for the World Cup—for years.
But, there is no way to host a World Cup in the midst of consolidating fascism and threatening imperialist expansion.
Canada and Mexico can pick up the extra games. The U.S. can’t be part of it.

There is no way in hell the United States under the Trump regime can host the World Cup in a few months.
They are murdering citizens in broad daylight, threatening war against NATO, and lawlessly kidnapping children and foreign heads of state.
The world has to organize a boycott. It’s not safe.

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.
Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.
Well, here’s a link:

What psychos watch or attend the Superbowl when the country is literally on fire? Are you all crazy?????
President Donald Trump will not be attending Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8 in Santa Clara, Calif., he said in an interview with the New York Post.
“It’s just too far away,” he said.

Spoke to folks in Kharkiv and Kyiv - people are freezing to death while being bombed daily for hours. It’s a humanitarian crisis. Tweets of “how incredibly strong Ukrainians are” and “prayers” aren’t enough. They need help. Now.

During the Soviet era, at times of govt instability, the state broadcaster would typically preempt scheduled broadcasts by airing performances of Swan Lake
And, tonight, the network's flagship news program -- 60 Minutes -- ran a clip show of old celeb interviews to "celebrate the movies" rather than put together an episode focused on what's going on in Minnesota.
The person who publishes the Free Press — where the words “Minneapolis” and “Minnesota” never appear tonight — also runs CBS News.

schon erstaunlich, dass die Union beim Schwangerschaftsabbruch von Behutsamkeit spricht, dass man den gesellschaftlichen Kompromiss nicht für einen Kulturkampf einreißen dürfe, aber bei Arbeitnehmerrechten, Sozialleistungen und Migranten keine Lüge zu billig ist www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/teil...

Ein CDU-Flügel will den Anspruch auf Teilzeit abschaffen. Kritik kommt vom Koalitionspartner, aus der Opposition und aus der eigener Partei.

Boycott the N American World Cup. America has invaded Venezuela and is currently actively threatening to invade and kill citizens of Canada, Greenland and Denmark. Boycott all American goods, services, sports, where you can. Do not finance their fascism.
And there’s a great precedent for boycotting a major sports event because the host dictatorship is invading other countries.
Luckily, as ever, our friend History offers us a useful precedent to consider - and here’s what the US STATE DEPARTMENT has to say about it:
“In 1980, the United States led a boycott of the Summer Olympic Games in Moscow to protest the late 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.”
