Probably best to ensure no Australians are sent to the Winter Olympics, unless you are happy with being complicit with facism, hey @australianlabor.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social ?
You’re saying the people of Minneapolis and surrounding towns that have been out protesting against ice and are literally being murdered for it, and continue to go out and protest in negative degree weather aren’t brave? And everyone else across the country who does the same thing in their cites?No?
In EU countries there have been protests in solidarity with Minneapolis and ICE victims in front of US embassies for weeks. Italy has a right-wing pro-Trump anti-immigrants government, & Lombardy as well but 🔽
#Italy #USpolitics ICE officials: Our agents will be in Milan & Cortina during the winter Olympics. Milan's mayor: "I don't want them, they act illegally and kill." Lombardy's governor: I don't mind. Milanese: We do. First protest against ICE 🔽 - more forthcoming...
Italy needs to advise the US that government security accompanying the US Olympic team is prohibited from possessing and carrying firearms on Italian soil. And further prohibited from interferring with anyone legally in Italy. Any ICE officer who violates the prohibitions will be summarily deported.
“It’s not like they’re the ones on the streets of Minneapolis,” the foreign minister said. “It’s not like the SS are coming." The foreign minister of Italy's far right government, one of Trump's closest friends in Europe, sees ICE in the streets of Minneapolis as an SS. @brenttoderian.bsky.social
