Sepp Blatter suggests fans should not travel to US for World Cup
The former Fifa president backed a Swiss lawyer who called for a boycott of the tournament due to security concerns in the US
Many (not so positive) things can be said about Sepp Blatter.
But it is remarkable when a former #FIFA President calls for boycotting the #WorldCup.
"If we consider everything weβve discussed, thereβs only one piece of advice for fans: Stay away from the USA!"

Het Amerikaanse ICE: 'Van immigratiedienst naar paramilitaire groep'
In het eerste jaar van president Trump is immigratiedienst ICE in een rap tempo veranderd. 'De gemaskerde, zwaarbewapende agenten zaaien angst in Amerikaanse steden.'
Goed stuk, alleen wat deze deskundigen vergeten te vermelden, is het openlijk racistische karakter van ICE en het geflirt met de Nazi ideologie. Zie hierover Thomas Edsall in de NYT.

Agreed, but to have free media is not enough: we need accountable media committed to support democracy. That may mean less freedom to sugarcoat or promote fascism, to create false equivalences, to spread disinformation, etc. The bad guys are only winning the information war because we allow them to.
