@aral Let's also remember 1968. Tommie Smith and John Carlos raised gloved hands in a Black Power salute (popular at the time) on the Olympic podium. With a nod to Australian Peter Norman, who stood calmly with his arms at his sides, as Smith and Carlos requested when he asked.

With the 2026 Winter Olympics underway in Italy, we speak with writer and academic Jules Boykoff, author of six books about the Olympics, who says Milan is hosting the Games despite widespread public opposition from locals. Boykoff says that while the Olympics have attempted in recent years to institute some âcosmeticâ reforms, âthey donât get at the core elements that really plague the Olympic Games, and thatâs overspending, thatâs the intensification of militarized policing, thatâs greenwashing, thatâs corruption, thatâs the displacement of local populations.â Boykoffâs recent piece for The Nation, co-authored with Dave Zirin, is headlined âGet Ready for This Yearâs Undemocratic, Debt-Ridden, and Mobster-Infused Winter Olympics.â
Vance brought ICE agents with him to the #Olymics in #Italy. Some supposed climate protests are actually protests against ICE, the Italian government is using water cannons to control protests.
Now tell me: Why is he using ICE in Italy? How are US immigration officials allowed to enter the EU as personal guard of government figures?
