The US had an inspiring movement to boycott the Berlin Olympics of 1936, because of Adolf Hitler.

Let us follow this great example and boycott the Los Angeles Olympics of 2028, because of Donald Trump.

@randahl

The fact that no country can be certain of the safety of their athletes is a compelling argument.

@the5thColumnist 💯

Governments should be calling this now, giving the former US a chance to put things right.

@randahl

@randahl
You mean, the olympics is not moving to Los Vegas?
@randahl ………. FIFA World Cup, 2026.
@browngraham243 @randahl Yes, the FIFA World Cup is only 18 months away, and 11 of the 16 host cities are in the USA.
@Randahl Fink Not sure if enough athletes are going to be admitted to the US by then. I mean, foreigners... eeew.

Some of them have a dark skin, or are women. Can't admit that...
@randahl Well, Los Angeles will probably be rebaptized as City of Angels by then and the event as the Donald J. Trump Olympics, but boycotting would seem a good plan. Can’t imagine many athletes wanting to take the risk to be shipped off to Venezuela anyway.
@randahl that'd be good. Just us, russia, belarussia, have Hungary and maybe a few more.
@randahl you can also just boycott the Olympics forever because they're generally pro-fascism, pro-status quo and show no sign of changing ever.
@randahl I don't think they did, actually? How else Jesse Owens?
@Eetschrijver @randahl Knew an American, b. 1912, who attended.
@Eetschrijver @randahl they didn't, and they even removed a couple of Jewish athletes from their Delegation.
@randahl
boycotting of los angeles is partially sad, because it is functional city in the united states. also california.
@randahl
Yes, please! We shouldn't have gone to fucking Sochi or Beijing either. Stop giving Olympics (and World Cups) to oppressive and fascist regimes!
@notthatkindofdoctor @randahl sadly not enough people seem to care. Lots of fans were happy to travel to Qatar for the World Cup despite media publicity about how they built their stadiums etc.
@randahl Those athletes and fans who criticized Trump will be banned from entering the United States.
@randahl i have already thought, what will happen to the soccer world cup 2026 in the U S, canada + mexico.

@randahl I don’t believe the athletes should be punished. But…

Boycott attending the Olympics. Go to Italy for the winter games instead.

@randahl @DonnaG

The olympic games are crap now, and have been for some time. Corruption and sportswashing injustice, just not worth it

@randahl we are boycotting Los Angeles Olympics again? I think I need to check what year it is…
@randahl I'm just not in any kind of mood do what we've always done right now.

@randahl Canada and México are co-hosts (with the USA) of 2026 FIFA world cup.

I think it won’t happen if Trump decides to invade another country. I also believe we should not wait for this to cancel it. México AND Canada should bow out of the commitment.

@randahl

If his immigration policy keeps going the way it does, we will not have to…

@randahl

What guarantee is there that Trump won't declare anyone higher on the podium than a US athlete to be a terrorist?

@dalstroka

@randahl

The orange filth will be dead by then and it will be president shady instead....

@randahl Good idea! But I think Germany with #merz would never do this. He and his #cdu and #csu look jealously over to the #USA and their antidemocratic way.

Some german Report to CDU and the #Heritagefoundation:

Trumps Vordenker im Bundestag

Die Heritage Foundation will Amerika umbauen. Und nimmt auch Europa ins Visier. In Teilen der CDU ist sie offenbar ein willkommener Gast.
