An Iraqi soccer player was detained for hours when he arrived here for the World Cup.
A Somali referee was outright denied entry.
Iran's team is not allowed to stay in the U.S.
The World Cup is supposed to bring the world together. Instead, Trump is using it as an excuse to be racist and cruel.
This is heartbreaking. πͺ
Racists only see people's skin colour. Not their souls. Not their stories. Not the humanity we share with them, or the hopes, the dreams, the sacrifices. The racists and those who pander to them have brought shame and disgrace upon us all.
Again: why would anyone come here for this World Cup under these circumstances?

When Nazis hosted the 1936 Olympics, Hitler was smart enough to show his regime in its best light. Despite their racism, the Nazis "behaved themselves" during the games. Trump and MAGA are too stupid to do that. Instead, they're using the World Cup as a stage to platform their racism.

World Cup players are being denied entry to the US.
Some are being detained, searched and treated like criminals.
They have one thing in commonβ¦. Theyβre not white.
The US has no business hosting the World Cup when itβs hostile to those from other parts of the world.

βNothing says "proud British patriot" quite like amplifying a literal Russian neo-Nazi network to incite hatred on our streets. Tommy Robinsonβs latest propaganda push exposes exactly who is pulling the strings behind these far-right "protests". Wake up. π€¦ββοΈπ¬π§π
Wow! π₯π₯π₯
A fantastic show to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Gaudi's death and the completion of his cathedral's main exterior structure β with a blessing of its central "Tower of Jesus Christ" by Pope Leo. Truly history in the making!
