American viewers of course won’t see it but there’s rest of the world is watching players standing still whilst music blares in the stadium so US broadcasters can continue to sell those ad slots. Complete farce

The worst capitalist brainwash is being proud of your OWN exploitation. Saying you've worked 80 hour weeks since you turned 17 isn’t a flex, it's really sad.

The richest man on Earth dismantled the organization that feeds the poorest children on earth. The definition of evil is being a trillionaire in a world where millions of children are starving.

Trying to imagine the response from the British political class if it was another minority faith community who were locked inside their place of worship as bigots threatened them. But it’s Muslims… so… who cares!

Just a friendly reminder: Minimum wage exists because they would pay you less if they could

ITV News and the BBC referred to Omar Artan as a “Somali refugee” and “Somalia’s top refugee” instead of correctly identifying him as a professional referee. They’re shamelessly pushing a narrative about a man who was travelling for work

Because he is an official selected by FIFA for the World Cup. Top international referees like Omar Artan (CAF Referee of the Year) routinely receive diplomatic or service passports from their federations and FIFA arrangements for global travel, security, and official duties. This is standard for high-level match officials representing the game internationally. The real question is: Why did US border agents lock Africa’s best referee in a room for 11 hours, interrogate him, and deport him like a criminal despite valid visa, diplomatic passport, and full FIFA approval? Why does Senegal’s Lions of Teranga get frisked and humiliated on the tarmac every time? And why does Gianni Infantino stay completely silent while handing Trump a fake Peace Prize? This is not about passports. This is systemic humiliation of African excellence. FIFA takes our talent and votes then abandons us.

I’ve never been more disgusted by a WC host. Look FIFA will always choose a corrupt human rights violator that throws money at them in an effort to whitewash their image, but at least they organize the WC. The US is ruining the WC to brag to the world about its fascism

I’ll say it until I’m blue in the face, taxpayers should not have to kick in a dime on these stadium projects. If you can’t afford to build one as an owner, maybe you shouldn’t own the team.

People in the replies going: "Other states politicians sold them out for worse deals! So Illinois should sell out their people just the same!" America: an idiotic race to the bottom. Taking pride in making life worse just to get to smugly bootlick billionaires on Twitter

i’ve been fighting the far right for a decade plus. i never would’ve imagined a labor govt would ban me from entering the uk. dark times ahead for the west. liberalism is dead, maga fascism and it’s corrosive influence is felt everywhere.

We need to stop acting as if people like this are “not convinced” and start recognizing them as “committed to a lie.”

George Floyd didn’t die because of fentanyl; that racist overdose theory was used to smear his name in court. He died because Derek Chauvin kept his knee on Floyd’s neck for nine and a half minutes. Chauvin murdered George Floyd in a modern-day lynching.

The lowest trust societies in America are in the Deep South and Appalachia - conservatism is an antisocial mental disorder grounded in narcissism, paranoia, fear, authoritarianism, insecurity, and fundamental stupidity

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents were caught on video telling a U.S. born citizen that his driver’s license was not proof of citizenship because “anyone can get that.” In the video, the man repeatedly told them he was born in the U.S…. In Atlantic City. He showed them his license. They dismissed it. He showed them ANOTHER form of ID. They STILL kept interrogating him about where he lived, who he lived with, whether Venezuelans lived in his home, who had been in his car, and whether the vehicle was registered to him. All while illegally detaining him in his car. And in the end… The agents admitted they weren’t even looking for the person connected to the car’s registration. So, why was this U.S. citizen stopped, surrounded, and interrogated in the first place? The Fourth Amendment does not disappear because agents “suspect” someone might be undocumented. You do not have to repeatedly prove your citizenship to federal agents because they decided you “look foreign enough” to question. Yet, this keeps happening to U.S. citizens across the country.

My daughter works at a gas station. Night shift. Pays her college tuition. She called me crying last Tuesday. Said a woman came in at 2 AM. Three kids asleep in her car. Counted change for gas. $4.18. Asked how far that would get her. My daughter said she was running. You could see it. The fear. The bruises. My daughter filled her tank. Gave her $30 from the register. Her own money. Said the woman grabbed her hands and just cried. My daughter’s 19. Works minimum wage.

We deserve better.

‘Lower-value human capital’ ‘Useless eaters’ Are we getting it yet?

Companies referring to people as “Lower value human capital” Welcome to end stage capitalism Add this term to others such as “economically inactive” & “useless eaters” The disabled, homeless & elderly fall in these categories too Worth must never be measured by productivity.
