I’m a huge soccer fan. I was so excited for the World Cup—for years.
But, there is no way to host a World Cup in the midst of consolidating fascism and threatening imperialist expansion.
Canada and Mexico can pick up the extra games. The U.S. can’t be part of it.

There is no way in hell the United States under the Trump regime can host the World Cup in a few months.
They are murdering citizens in broad daylight, threatening war against NATO, and lawlessly kidnapping children and foreign heads of state.
The world has to organize a boycott. It’s not safe.

"ICE is nothing like the Brownshirts. One was an open paramilitary wing of an openly fascist political party, the other is an unaccountable government force operating without clear uniforms, identification, or transparency… for an openly fascist political party."

Another defense motion filed today by Chicago's six Broadview conspiracy defendants (including four Dem pols).
It notes a key dispute at trial could be a federal agent's "decision and motivation to drive his vehicle into a crowd of more than 50 individuals."
They're seeking a preservation order.

Counter proposal: DHS needs to be dismantled completely. Customs, immigration, asylum/refugee all back to State. FEMA cabinet level because natural disasters is the core function of government in the melting 21st century. Defund all the DHS security state agencies entirely.
Congress is going to respond with some "sensitivity training" level bandaid solution.
What needs to happen is for ICE to be removed from the Department of Homeland Security, sent back to the Justice Department and stripped of its national security mandate. Bare minimum.

Kick out ICE: Hotel Wide Awake Training (virtual) · Sunrise Movement
No justice, no sleep. ICE agents are terrorizing our communities, ripping families apart, and murdering our neighbors. At this virtual training, you will learn how to conduct your own Wide Awake protest at hotels housing ICE agents. Sunrise Movement is taking action against ICE by holding Wide Awakes at hotels that are housing agents. These Wide Awakes are noisy and non-violent protests that disrupt business as usual and make it harder for ICE to operate. As a result of these actions, more than four Twin Cities hotels have denied reservations for agents or paused operations to avoid housing ICE. Agents have also left multiple hotels as a result of these actions. Our goal: nowhere to stay and no sleep for ICE. The Sunrise Movement is a national organization working to resist authoritarianism and win climate justice. Our members are under 35 years old. This training is open to everyon!
