Time for all the serious football federations to get the boycott movement going for real

You can have the best armed forces in the history of the world, but if you are an incompetent criminal without a plan, you can still lose a war, and rather quickly.

Every football federation should boycott the Cup in solidarity. Guess we can’t expect any ethical leadership from Infantino, even if his face weren’t buried in Trump’s crotch.

Sunday in Brockton.

war ≠ tariffs

Tariffs imposed arbitrarily can be reversed arbitrarily, and removal acts similar to a stimulus. Most who adjusted economic activity can readjust.

People killed in war don't come back to life. Infrastructure destroyed in war doesn't start working again. You can't just take it back.

Same! Don't know how to change it, don't have a manual

So net net, you only have 2 hrs time change instead of 3 to get to CA? Could be worse...

A/k/a ass-face 'leadership'

The U.S. committed a blatant and desperate crime by attacking a freshwater desalination plant on Qeshm Island. Water supply in 30 villages has been impacted. Attacking Iran's infrastructure is a dangerous move with grave consequences. The U.S. set this precedent, not Iran.

Attacking access to water is definitionally genocidal.

MA is #1 in innovation and education. Trump's attacks on research funding are attacks on Massachusetts' economy.

While the President focuses on political attacks- I'll keep fighting for the next generation of scientific discovery.

Hitler occupied the Sudetenland and then rolled the Wehrmacht into Poland.
General Tojo bombed Pearl Harbor.
Trump abducted a sovereign foreign head of state.
Trump and Netanyahu attacked Iran and murdered their religious leader.
Ho hum.
How's the market?
Who's on the leaderboard at Bay Hill?

Weird chart. What happened in 2025 in the US? Did political leadership change and then start systematically dismantling education, science, health care, and government, levying arbitrary tariffs, randomly attacking major US cities, and destroying the economy?

Just asking.

🧵Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/

An elementary school in the Iranian capital Tehran’s Niloufar Square has been struck in US-Israeli attacks, according to Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei. Baghaei on Friday shared a video on X, purportedly showing Shahid Hamedani School with students before and after the attack, without elaborating on the circumstances or the number of casualties.

The US and Israel have apparently attacked another elementary school in Iran, this one in Tehran.

Reminder: You are not crazy, this war is stupid because the president is stupid.

War of aggression. No different from Hitler occupying the Sudetenland or Genl Tojo bombing Pearl Harbor.

If he comes for us, he won't know what hit him #MAstrong

This cartoonishly childish Hegseth persona is an insult to the American military, the American people, the Iranian people, and just about everybody affected by this war. It is absolutely incredible, in the literal sense, that this man is at the hinge of the chain of command in this spiraling war.

Yep. Time for our states to stop subsidizing other people's raacism, fascism and imperial aggression. Devolution, dissolution, separation. Now.

Trump's monstrous and unimaginably evil war. Trump, effectively, to Osama Bin Laden: 'C'mon back, Osama. Guess what you and your gang of funsters did was fair game after all. All is forgiven, you can rise from the dead now.'

Same. Get up angry, angry all day - til this is over.

Love to see it.

And love to know how it's going to drive MAGA wild. Kid Rock could never.

Once again citizens of our states are being made to pay at the pump for Trumps' criminal murderous aggression. Our states are tired of subsidizing his voters in his states. Time for devolution/dissolution/separation. New union treaty of like-minded states. #MassachusettsIndependence

“And believe me, I know from experience”

Totally! Hoping for more backbone from the NSFs...

It wasn’t long ago that thousands of American families lost sons and daughters for a war with no end in sight. Trump is risking that again with Iran, and he’s doing it all without Congressional approval.

The Senate needs to come back to Washington to do its job.

Time to step up, sporting federations. Protect your credibility while you still can.

On the one hand, the presidency is a fundamentally broken institution.

On the other hand, Congress is a fundamentally broken institution.

On the third hand, the Supreme Court is a fundamentally broken institution.

Also Putin: 'I'm lovin' it'

A lawless, unconstitutional government, murdering innocent civilians at home, abroad, & on the high seas.
