Fans have found themselves facing rejections, restrictions, and outright bans for short-term visa applications to the US for this year’s men’s FIFA World Cup. Of course, this is hardly a surprise, given the Trump administration’s undisguised racism and Islamophobia. However, the news underscores existing criticisms of FIFA for awarding hosting responsibilities to the US in the first place. World Cup chaos entirely expected The states unveiled its bid to host the 2026 world cup back in 2017. Under the banner ‘United 2026’, it was a joint endeavor between the US, Canada, and Mexico.

Musician Ali Louis Bourzgui won a Tony award last night, 7 June, for his portrayal of a vampire in the musical adaptation of The Lost Boys. As he received his award, he compared Zionists and billionaires to the vampires of the show – people “who have shunned their own humanity in order to achieve a nonexistent sense of superiority”. And in case anyone was still unclear what he meant, he used his speech to wish freedom to the Palestinian people from occupation, as well as to praise the immigrants and trans people constantly targeted by the US fascist regime: https://www.thecanary.co/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/bourzgui-tony-1.mp4 Tony award…

In an NBC interview recorded on Friday, US President Donald Trump repeatedly defended his war of choice on Iran. He said Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was a “good comrade” but disagreed with him, stating that strikes on Lebanon should be more surgical than they are. However, the Financial Times (FT) reported that Trump later insisted he “calls the shots” and that Netanyahu has “no choice” but to accept any deal with Iran. The FT said they had verified a leaked call in which Trump called Netanyahu “fucking crazy” and told him he would be in prison without him. “I call all…

There is a consistent narrative today that AI is an inevitability that we must simply accept. Media and large tech corporations portray AI as a futuristic technology. Saying that society must quickly adopt it or otherwise risk being “left behind”. However, this concept is inherently false. In reality it is the generative AI and its corporate creators that rely on us. AI survives off of human work The truth is that AI is fundamentally unable to create. It rests on the backs of real human expression and art. Everything that generative AI makes is based off of an endless supply of…

Tommy Robinson is a far-right agitator who’s led street movements like the English Defence League (EDL) and Unite the Kingdom (UtK). While Robinson’s propaganda has shifted over the years, the common throughlines have been Islamophobia and the fear of migrants. As these prejudices aren’t unique to white Brits, there are some people from minority groups who have thrown in with Robinson and his ilk. Now, one of the Sikh men who supported Robinson in the past is being warned to watch his back. Short story: Bobby Singh, who twerks for Tommy Robinson, is now being threatened by Tommy Robinson.

Christian Eriksen is expected to be discharged from hospital soon after he collapsed during the friendly match between Denmark and Ukraine five years after surviving a cardiac arrest. The match, in which Denmark was leading 2-1, was halted after the veteran midfielder suddenly fell during the 65th minute, leaving players and fans in shock. Medical teams rushed on to the pitch to provide emergency treatment before he was taken to hospital. Denmark’s national team doctor, Morten Boesen, who is widely credited with saving Eriksen’s life when he collapsed in 2021, said the player is “doing well”. He is with his family…

In the current negotiations over Lebanon’s borders, the United States does not sit at the table as an impartial broker of peace, but as the orchestrator of a calculated financial siege. The Trump administration is utilising underhanded economic warfare, targeted banking blockades, and weaponising the global dollar system to deliberately starve the Lebanese state into a position of absolute geopolitical capitulation. Lebanon — Weaponised interdependence As formal diplomatic delegations gather under the polished chandeliers of international summit rooms to debate lines on a map, an ordinary Lebanese citizen stands in a dim Beirut neighbourhood, calculating whether their remaining cash can cover…

Iran has launched at least two and as many as five (so far) waves of drones and at least ten ballistic missiles against Israel. The strikes, described by Tehran as a “warning shot”, came in retaliation for Israel attacking Dahiyeh in southern Beirut. Iran had warned Israel that it would strike its north if Netanyahu launched attacks on Dahiyeh. Israel claimed to have shot down all the incoming barrage, but even UK state-corporate media have reported numerous successful strikes. The attack was the first direct Iranian retaliation against Israel in two months. Local footage also appears to show missiles reaching targets:…

Following a widespread wave of criticism and objections from fan groups and health experts, FIFA was partially forced to backtrack on its controversial decision to ban water bottles in World Cup 2026 stadiums. It announced that spectators would be permitted to bring one soft, sealed plastic water bottle into matches held in the United States and Canada. The new decision came just days after an amendment to the “Stadium Code of Conduct,” which FIFA had completely banned reusable bottles, justifying the move on security grounds related to the possibility of using bottles and solid objects as projectiles that could pose a…
