Euan MasonI'm sympathetic towards Nellie's bill, but a far better solution would be to dramatically reduce funding for #ICE & change the rules under which it works, eliminating the brutality, cruelty, murder & racism. This would greatly increase the number of people willing to watch the football world cup. As it is being held in the #USA under the despotic yoke of #Trump & ICE, many of us won't be watching it. It would be like cheering for the Berlin Olympics in 1936. #fifa #uspol https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/mar/19/bill-ban-world-cup-ice-raids-us?CMP=share_btn_url
And yeah, I began playing #football at age 7 and played it well into my 60s, but a world cup dominated by #Trump is not something I wish to watch. It's simply sad. #FIFA actually gave Trump a #peacePrize. What the hell???
Dave Black@TreeStarMan FIFA have acquiesced to seventy-five nations on the Orange One's travel 'restrictions'; 20 or so where fans' visa requests won't even be processed. US resident fans risk surveillance, kidnapping, and deportation. Some World Cup.
@dayvblack That's a travesty.
