@Reuters But there is one thing, Infantino can certainly do. Resign.

As someone who has worked on national security vetting, the Trump Admin barring Somali referee Omar Artan entry to the US for the World Cup leads to more questions than answers. Omar was vetted, approved, and issued a visa. Then he landed in the United States and was suddenly deemed a national security threat. So which is it? Either the system failed, or someone changed the rules after the fact. That's not how serious national security decisions should be made. The public deserves to know what changed.

🇸🇴 Nunca vi algo así. En Somalia hoy se llenó un estadio para recibir como héroe nacional a Omar Artan, el árbitro al que Estados Unidos le negó la entrada al Mundial. Increíble.

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. #FootballAgainstFascism #WorldCup 1/3

@JuergenZimmerer Wobei der Unterschied bei vielen Politikern, Unternehmensberatern und Bildzeitungsredakteuren eh nicht so groß ist. Die können, Stand jetzt, bereits vollständig durch KI ersetzt werden.

People have been asking for images of the flesh-eating screwworm that's been threatening livestock

@derJamesJackson Wobei leeres Politiker-Gequatsche ja schon immer so war. Nur kann KI sie tatsächlich komplett ersetzen.

@stephanpalagan War damals Schüler an der Schule, wo der Tatort gedreht wurde. Die Klasse über mir durften als Komparsen mitspielen. Und das Haus eines Lehrers war auch Drehort. Große Sache damals.

🚨 Somali referee Omar Artan, named Africa’s best referee of 2025 and selected to officiate at the World Cup, has been barred from entering the United States. U.S. Customs and Border Protection “determined that he was inadmissible due to security concerns.” Consider this scenario: a Somali soccer referee poses a “security threat” to the United States. This isn’t just bureaucracy. This is blatant racism. If this had happened at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and the barred referee had been American or European, all hell would have broken loose. The Western media would have gone into a frenzy. Doha would have been accused of every shortcoming under the sun. But because the perpetrator is Washington and the victim is African, the matter is being swept under the rug. And this leaves only one impression: the 2026 World Cup in the U.S. will be the worst World Cup in history. Do you agree with me?

Soccer would not exist without immigrants. Immigrants play and coach the game, work in the stadiums, fill the stands, and make celebrations like the World Cup possible. Six of the players on the US Men's National Team are immigrants. We will not allow ICE or anyone else to sow fear in our communities — especially at this moment. As the world comes to our city, we will stand proudly with our immigrant neighbors and reject these attacks for what they are: an attempt to divide us.

The Trump administration has drawn up a plan to surge US Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel to New York City, a move that threatens to escalate tensions with New York Governor Kathy Hochul over the president’s migrant crackdown. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began. The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start. Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have. If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

@HunterBiden @hpmcd1 Stopped drinking in 2007. Would have died otherwise. Never touched a drop again. Neither smoke or other drugs ever since. Never looked back. I know what it is to be at the bottom and feel you bro. Greetings from Germany, we love you.

@JBruns_os @ju_khatib und trotzdem von der JSUD als Antisemitin beschimpft.

Erwartbar, aber beschämend: Radikale Islamisten bekommen vom BMI Visa im Gegenzug für ein paar Abschiebungen. Die Taliban kaufen sich Einfluss, Anerkennung und Daten der Diaspora und die Bundesregierung lässt sich einfach erpressen und macht mit. tagesschau.de/investigativ/a…

@JBruns_os @ju_khatib Habe ich letztens auf einem Scherben-Konzert ganz anders erlebt. Rio lebt und bleibt immer aktuell. Aber das war nicht der Punkt, ich halte Claudia Roth für keine gute Repräsentantin der Botschaft, falls das gemeint ist.

@derspiegel Deutschland galt mal als ehrlicher Makler. Nun wird es nicht mehr gebraucht und sollte seine Souveränität an die EU abtreten. Das hätte auch den Vorteil dass die AfD völlig ins Leere laufen würde, wenn es kein Deutschland mehr gibt.

@mark_slapinski Does heself think, that would be a good idea after his life's record? I would give a damn, but rather be the independent voice of the popular revolution.

@sternde Hättet ihr nicht warten können, bis ich meinen Kaffee ausgetrunken habe. Nun habe ich das alles über Tastatur und Monitor geprustet.

@JBruns_os @ju_khatib Vielleicht ein Praktikant. Die JSUD sollte nach dem Eklat mit Claudia Roth eigentlich ein Nogo bei Grüns sein.
