Like so much of what Trumpists do, this is needlessly cruel and economically idiotic. www.npr.org/2026/06/12/n...

I got so fucking angry reading this I had to stop about halfway through. www.theguardian.com/society/ng-i...

"Telemundo, the World Cup’s Spanish-language broadcaster in the US, did not cut away to full-screen advertising during the hydration breaks." Always watch matches on Telemundo if you can. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

This is clearly a fucking war crime. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Seriously, that's fucking crazy.

Was just watching some of the highlights from the South Korea - Czechia match and am just gobsmacked at the number of empty seats. Again, fuck FIFA.

A conjuring of Argentina 78 when the military Junta hosted a World Cup with disappeared peoples in ear shot of the host stadiums roaring crowds…

That’s an insane stat

We should not be allowed to host any international sporting tournament right now. This is fucking disgusting.

We are such a shithole nation

If you’re gonna dish out so many red cards maybe give one to Infantino.

One of the few good things Rahm did for Chicago was keeping that shit out of here.

What an insane opening match.

Ok yeah that’s a red. Clear DOGSO. So dumb.

Ouch. The first red card was strategic. That was just stupid.

Love that for Jimenez.

My hot take (pun intended) is that players should not be allowed to talk to the coaches during these heat breaks.

lol that should be a yellow for diving

FUCK YES

Omg being unexpectedly transported back to my days as a hardcore Bulls fan.

Grateful that this match is on Telemundo so I don’t have to listen to whatever dipshits they got on Fox.

This can’t end well.

Wow. Even fucking Sepp Blatter is saying the US shouldn’t be hosting this World Cup.

"“More than any leader in sport, Infantino has enabled the global swerve toward fascism,” writes Boykoff. The head of an organization committed to political neutrality, Infantino has not shied away from picking sides." jacobin.com/2026/06/fifa...

The details here are appalling. Just another horrific reminder that every single day there are thousands of people being tortured in this country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

US has killed 3 indian sailors! "Three dead sailors, three struck tankers in four days, and a summoned diplomat: How Washington’s aggressive enforcement of the Iranian blockade has triggered an explosive geopolitical feud with New Delhi" energygeopoliticsandstatecraft.substack.com/p/us-strikes...

Authoritarian shit here www.npr.org/2026/06/10/n...

today in dystopia watch: all your pokemon go scans helped train a system for killer drones

It’s always a good day to tell AIPAC to f-off. We’ve all had enough. Are you wondering why your elected officials still support genocide and apartheid, even though their constituents want them to stop? It’s because of big money corporate groups like AIPAC that are funneling cash into politics.

Welcome to another exciting day of “president desperate for peace refuses to make concessions”

Same. To be clear, the Qatar WC was objectively worse given the loss of life it caused. But the tournament itself was at least relatively untouched by controversy or problems, allowing my (hesitant) excitement to remain. But here? It’s just a moral and sporting shit show from top to bottom.

Oooof, forget 2% annual, we can't even hold producer inflation to 2% over 2 months 2.9% over the quarter = 🙃

No that would be soccer.

A FIFA referee has spent more time in federal custody for being Somali than anybody on epstein's list for raping kids.

Trump was booed during the national anthem at the Knicks game. Now, reports indicate his administration is planning a major ICE enforcement surge in New York City.

It's always interesting to see what constitutes a riot or a protest in Fox News' eyes. Here's Fox News anchor John Roberts describing the racist destruction in Belfast as just "fiery protests" sparked by a "heated debate over immigration."

In case you needed more reason to dislike her. www.thecut.com/article/gwyn...

What a pathetic waste of space he is. Fuck him and fuck FIFA.

Cool “democracy” we got here

more countries need to follow this example

All minimally decent people to Musk:

Seriously, fuck FIFA.

Shameful and pathetic from these fucking cowards. The US women’s team would never stand by silently for this shit.

There are 60 judges up for retention in Cook County this fall and we want to know abut YOUR experiences with them! Whether you're a litigant, a lawyer, a relative of someone who's had a case before them, a court worker - you can submit tips confidentially here: www.injusticewatch.org/judges/judic...

Unless some of the players and the staff stand up to Trump and denounce the racist treatment so many fans, staff, and players are being subjected to by this fucking country.

Really hope the US squad doesn’t get out of the group stage.

This needs to be stopped.

Just a disgusting, inhuman way to talk about war. We must never get used to this
