For those of us in the UK, dropping an email to your MP won’t take long!
If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Tapping the sign
A central aspect of modern conservatism is the iron clad certainty that
1: some people count as people and some people don't.
2: it is their *exclusive* right to decide who goes in what group.
3: anyone who has a problem with this goes in the second group.

We should also talk more about how too many Republicans do not see entire swaths of people as actual people. You don’t casually muse about starting a war if you see troops as humans with lives and families. Normal people don’t fantasize about those from other countries dying for their own amusement.

In the 1990s, German courts ruled that the "duty to shoot" at the Wall was "statutory lawlessness." Even though it was the law of the GDR at the time, individuals were held responsible because they should have recognized that the orders violated fundamental human rights.

Technology companies issued a record $108.7 billion in corporate bonds in the last three months of 2025, according to Moody’s Analytics.
That’s the largest total for any quarter and roughly double that of the previous three months.

OpenAI has absolutely zero ideas. They have no business. This is not a real business line and it’s so utterly vague and specious, I’m shocked at the credulousness to just print it without saying “there is no logical way this works of course” or talking about how the CFO of OpenAI is saying nonsense

The most effective leverage the world has against this nonsensical pretext to ban people from the US is for World Cup fans to refuse to come here, although that is probably an impossible ask for rabid fans.
