There have always been politics in the Olympics — unfortunately, I will add. It is unclear to me whether tasteless or poor taste or poor choices are prerequisites for being put in charge.

I feel sorry for the athletes.

Seems like a good time — unfortunately — for those outside the US to #boycott major sporting events like the #WorldCup, #LAOlympics, etc. There is no way to guarantee the safety of travelers from abroad — just as there is no way to guarantee the safety of US citizens — until these fascists, goons, grifters and thugs are out of office. Sad.

If the #LAolympics go ahead in '28 I suggest "synchronized groveling to Trump" as a new event. A rare opportunity for politicians and corporate types of all shades to finally take part in the Games, and a good opportunity to fill the gaps caused by rational people, y' know, STAYING THE FUCK AWAY
