@ianbremmer I agree. Americans didn’t vote for Trump because he builds the best reflecting pools. The timing of this controversy makes it look more like a distraction from questions surrounding Iran than a genuine concern about vandalism.
Well said. The real scandal isn’t the solidarity shown to any one community— that’s a basic human decency we should celebrate whenever it happens. The outrage is the glaring inconsistency: the same instinctive, nationwide outrage, high-level government coordination like a Cobra meeting, and wall-to-wall front-page coverage simply don’t materialise when the victims are Britain’s Muslims, as we’ve just seen with the horrific Edinburgh attacks. https://t.co/yR32lolzPe
Those attacks—targeting men near a mosque and elsewhere, leaving five injured in what police and the Prime Minister described as apparent anti-Muslim hatred—deserved the same level of unified national attention and condemnation. Yet it stayed largely confined to Scottish headlines and brief national mentions. This selective instinct undermines trust and leaves communities feeling abandoned. https://t.co/W5DapO3eJD
Your consistent work calling this out, pushing for equal standards regardless of the group affected, is vital and much appreciated. Keep it up—principled voices like yours are exactly what Britain needs right now to avoid deepening divisions.
An update from @AaronCh7Weather:
"The heaviest rains have moved through and the weather will improve quickly.
"The Thunderstorm Watch is still in effect until 9pm and we'll continue to monitor the weather for the second half of the match."

BREAKING !
First weather delay at the FIFA World Cup as France vs Iraq is delayed due to 'lightning activity' in the Philadelphia area.
The dangerous weather provision mandates a 30-minute delay to proceedings, meaning the halftime break will be extended by a further 15 minutes before a restart.
The delay could be extended by a further 30 minutes in the event of another lightning strike within an 8-mile radius of the stadium.

Fans and staff in the Philadelphia Stadium have been advised to seek shelter with many crowding into the concourses as most of the 68,000+ seats are uncovered and exposed to the elements.
Both teams still await a decision on the resumption of the match.

@ianbremmer Solid advice in theory, terrible for my sanity in practice. I follow enough people I disagree with by accident already—adding intentional ones feels like signing up for daily rage bait. But I’m intrigued… who’s your top ‘dislike but valuable’ follow right now?
BREAKING: Some of President Trump's advisers have 'privately urged him to look for an exit plan' from the Iran war 'amid spiking oil prices and concerns that a lengthy conflict could spark political backlash', according to Wall Street Journal report.
People reveal their true nature when you no longer possess authority or power. While in power, many appear as friends; without it, you discover who truly stands with you. These are the moments from which life’s greatest lessons are learned.
IRAN WILL STOP THE WAR IF
ISRAEL ENDS THE WAR ON GAZA, FREES PALESTINE, AND
VACATES ALL OCCUPIED TERRITORIES.
Guys, do you agree?
