Just 10 miles from the stage of the World Cup Final, hundreds of people are being held captive at Delaney Hall. This is the story of ICE brutality built off of the prison-industrial complex - and the fight against it.

"Across the country, our parents, our grandparents, our loved ones, dying unnecessarily in order to inflate drug company profits and please Donald Trump."

Our World Cup Chaos Tracker is being updated - with awful stories of visa denials, white supremacist signals, and more… but also with acts of resistance. See a story or witness anything at the World Cup? Let us know! #FootballAgainstFascism tracker.footballagainstfascism.org

“The prospects of this World Cup being remembered for reasons other than football are very high, and it should be that way,” said Shaista Aziz, co-founder of The Three Hijabis and a member of the Stop Trump Coalition’s #FootballAgainstFascism campaign. newrepublic.com/article/2116...

We’ve just released a special episode of the COUNTER•POWER podcast covering the context of this #WorldCup, and the history of football against fascism. Watch or listen here or on your favourite podcast platform: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MMX...

The #WorldCup is here. Let’s hold Trump accountable for the chaos, crimes and harms he’s causing to players, fans, referees, journalists and others. @jakeatkinson.bsky.social explains our new #FootballAgainstFascism World Cup Chaos Tracker ⬇️

NEW: We’re launching the Trump World Cup Chaos Tracker to compile a record of how Trump’s racist, violent policies - coupled with FIFA’s corruption - are impacting this tournament. 1/3

Trump’s World Cup Chaos continues www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The "most inclusive World Cup ever", update on the update of the update.

Again: why would anyone come here for this World Cup under these circumstances? www.nytimes.com/athletic/734...

I received my pack today and my 15 yo has already put the sports bag to good use when he went out to play football with his friends earlier. Thank you!

Solidarity with Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur, who have apparently been denied visas to the UK in what is a clear attack by the UK Government on freedom of speech.

Red flag after red flag after red flag. Far more than was publicly known. And still Starmer pushed forward with appointing Mandelson as US ambassador. Why? Because he thought someone this dodgy would get along well with Trump.

"As with most of Trump’s ego-driven actions, this is pathetic. But this attack on free speech is also a chilling part of the authoritarian path he’s hacking through US democracy." Stop Trump's Alyssa Elliott writes for Metro – check it out: metro.co.uk/2026/04/29/d...

We went to Buckingham Palace this morning as #KingCharles has left to meet with Trump on his #StateVisit. Starmer sending the King to wine & dine with the warmonger-in-chief, whilst allowing the US use of UK airbases to conduct strikes, not just makes us complicit but emboldens #Trump.

The Peter Mandelson scandal is not really about the process. There was no "correct and proper" way to appoint Epstein's friend as US ambassador. However many boxes they ticked, it was always going to be a scandal.

So here's what we now know: 1. Starmer's No 10 pushed hard to get Mandelson in post as fast as possible 2. They even wanted to SKIP vetting entirely for Epstein's old pal 3. "No 10 wanted Mandelson in Washington whatever the risk" www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Zarah is 100% correct. Thank you for taking a stand.

Keir Starmer is again saying that he is outraged that he wasn't told the vetting info about Peter Mandelson. But all the information anyone needed about Mandelson – that he was close friends with Epstein – was public knowledge long before his appointment. And Starmer knew.

World Cup chaos is expected due to ICE & Trump’s extremist policies, and we can’t let the warmonger-in-chief launder his image by hosting it. Move the games out of Trump’s US. Great to share more about the Football Against Fascism campaign with fans at the #Spurs v #Brighton match today!

Remember the big picture of the Mandelson scandal. Starmer appointed a known close associate of Epstein to be US ambassador. Starmer KNEW, as he has admitted, about Mandelson and Epstein. And this wasn't an accident. It was because they wanted to cosy up to Trump.

Special relationship latest: our appeasement of Trump will cost us billions in higher drug prices, and potentially more lives than COVID. www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2026...

Trump logic: Trump says the aim of his war on Iran is to re-open the Strait of Hormuz. The strait was open as usual until he started the war. Now his latest plan for the strait is to... launch a US blockade of it! Pursuing his aim of re-opening it by closing it even more.

The Iran war has been a strategic defeat for the US. Trump had no option available that would change this fact. It may not be over – but the key is that countries, including the UK, that have been enabling US aggression now withdraw their support and uphold international law.

Trump is openly threatening to commit genocide in Iran. The UK must end all complicity in Trump’s war crimes in the Middle East. stoptrump.org.uk/uk-must-end-...

Reminder: targeting civilian infrastructure, such as power plants and bridges, is a war crime. The US president is openly and repeatedly threatening to commit war crimes.

If you are angry about it, stop letting him use UK bases to do it! Follow Spain's example and close UK airspace to US warplanes.

Republican Party Leaders and Corporate Democrats have today invited King Charles to address the US Congress when he’s on the State Visit later this month. We’ve corrected the invite. We shouldn’t be honouring Trump with a State Visit that he so desperately wants.

Protesting for Palestine is not a crime. This verdict is an attack on the whole movement. We stand with Palestine Solidarity Campaign and with Ben and Chris. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Should Keir Starmer send the King to honour Trump with a state visit? Absolutely not. Time to stop appeasing the President who is causing so much harm to the world. @jakeatkinson.bsky.social on @bbc5live.bsky.social.

This isn't 'defensive' use. Drop the pretense. Trump's war is going to kill thousands and cause global economic devastation - and the British government is enabling it. Every bill increase, every price rise – Trump did it and Starmer rubber-stamped it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A royal state visit to honour Trump would be another national embarrassment. It would also be a signal of support for his illegal war on Iran. It must not go ahead. stoptrump.org.uk/petition-no-...

They want to do the same to Lebanon as they did to Gaza. They are saying it openly. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

King Charles is set to meet Trump next month to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the US. Trump is conducting an illegal war on Iran – the King’s visit would serve as a statement of support for this illegal war. It must not go ahead. stoptrump.org.uk/petition-no-...

American imperialism won’t bring ‘democracy’ - in fact it’s historically been the opposite. Real democracy happens when the people revolt from below and take control of their resources. Me on @lbc.co.uk for @ukstoptrump.bsky.social this morning.

Jeez. This is damning “There you have it in black and white. The Prime Minister Keir Starmer warned in the clearest possible terms that Peter Mandelson maintained his relationship [with Epstein] after the conviction.. there is no escape from this"

This is what Starmer was told BEFORE he appointed Mandelson as US ambassador. And all he did was ask a few follow-up questions, then give the green light.

Stay out of Trump's war! Stop UK bases from being used by US bombers. Write to your MP: stoptrump.org.uk/mp-trumps-war/

No sportswashing. No Trump World Cup.

Trump has attacked Iran, in a brazen US-Israeli act of aggression that is still ongoing. Our statement: stoptrump.org.uk/trump-bombs-...

The Gorton result is a huge win for politics that stands against racism and takes on the super-rich. Congratulations to Hannah Spencer and the Greens. It's a defeat for Reform's politics of division – and a loss for Starmer's Labour, who ran on relentless, Trump-style lies.

ICE will be at the #WorldCup. Another reason to demand matches are moved out of the US: it’s not safe. Let’s not let Trump hijack the competition to feed his ego, whitewash his reputation, or advance his authoritarian agenda. Sign the petition linked below.

This Government is dehumanising migrants, increasing AI & facial recognition use in policing, and ramping up raids. Disgusted by ICE? Let's look closer to home. @ukstoptrump.bsky.social @praxisprojects.bsky.social @refugeeaction.bsky.social @jcwi-uk.bsky.social leftfootforward.org/2026/02/a-br...

McSweeney won't be missed. (Or long remembered.) But the rot goes much deeper. It wasn't one adviser who decided to send Mandelson to the US to suck up to Trump. It was the prime minister and the whole rotten logic of the government's Trump appeasement. That must end.

Enough cover-ups. Release the Mandelson Files IN FULL. Write to your MP here: stoptrump.org.uk/mp-mandelson/
