They really want the World Cup to fail. I don't think it is just the fans that should be worried either. They might even target players or officials from some countries.

This. Honestly I think the economic impact of ICE on Minnesota is just ramping up, and for people living in fear nothing has changed.

ICE are still here breaking stuff, hurting people, and violating the 4th Amendment and most driving rules.

Minnesota Forever. Abolish ICE.
My sense of Minnesota today is that there’s less tear gas and the same amount of unlawful detention, destruction of families, loss of livelihood, people in hiding.

There is less tear gas at places like Lake and Lyndale, so it’s not making news.

This couldn’t be clearer. Bannon’s texts to Epstein in mid July 2018 - “overthrowing May right now” and in “London with Boris” as well as his appearance on LBC with Nigel Farage are prettying damning evidence of a cross party plot with foreign backing

A friend of ours was able to be a test subject for an mRNA vaccine for an aggressive form of breast cancer. Completely worked. It is one of the greatest miracles of science and like 40% of the country turned it into The Jab because they are mushheaded simpletons.

All flights to and from El Paso, Texas, have been grounded for ten days for “Special Security Reasons”, the Federal Aviation Administration announced.

Shutting down airspace of a major US city for such an extended period hasn’t happened since the aftermath of 9-11.

The European Union (and its member states) can't afford to let China divide and conquer. How any don't fully get that is beyond my understanding.
In response, Beijing has reopened beef and pork markets for Ireland and Spain and dangled visas or aircraft orders for others, even as its relations with Brussels fray.
