it's absolutely gonna turn into the Phrenology Olympics 2.0, except this time they'll hire breast and vagina fondlers to work as "gender detectors"

There needs to be a grassroots movement to boycott the 2028 games starting NOW!

there already is, the anti-ICE protests in LA mentioned boycotting them because the Olympics are gonna be used as an excuse to deport a fuckton of homeless people, immigrants and non-white people out of the city, with the mayor's approval

While that's good, that isn't where I'm coming at it from. I mean movements in other countries to pull their teams from the games.
