Some common-sense things Trump said today that were nevertheless shocking:

Everybody else has ballistic missiles, why can’t Iran?

The frozen money belonged to Iran, and the U.S. needed to release it otherwise nobody would trust the dollar system. Why should we steal their money?

Neighboring countries use nuclear power for electricity, why can’t Iran?

Israel shouldn’t knock down entire buildings in Beirut every time a drone or two crashes harmlessly in the desert.

Trump would’ve become Herbert Hoover in a few weeks once oil ran out and the market crashed. He had no choice but to end the war.

I am proud to be the first Democrat to take this pledge to reject money from AIPAC and affiliated groups, recognize the genocide in Gaza, and oppose aid to Israel and military sales that kill civilians.

If you are not ready to let the players stay in your country during the tournament, you should not host the football world cup. You can not deny referees and players to be there. It is unsportsmanlike and petty.

BIG: So @rautsanjay61 goes public with a sensational charge that was only until now being whispered in Maharashtra power corridors. One of the Sena (UBT) MPs Om Raje Nimbalkar he claims was told that if he wants a favourable verdict in his father’s murder case in special CBI court, he has to switch sides. The verdict was to come yesterday and has been pushed now to 19th. If true, it raises a very troubling Qs: are court verdicts also now decided by party loyalties?

Never forget that when @yadavakhilesh first raised the Ram temple donation theft scandal, his young daughter Aditi was slandered, abused and harassed by those claiming to be the biggest devotees of Lord Ram. The idea was to intimidate and bully anyone who would seek action on the donation theft. Why no meaningful action so far @Uppolice? Who is being protected and why?

Three men -- Kishan, Vikas, Vishal -- held in Ujjain for vandalizing homes. Right-wing influencers changed the names to Arif, Ashraf & Asif, and claimed they're punished for harassing girls. Viral communal narrative entirely fabricated. | @prantik_ali

Iranian fans turned their World Cup match against New Zealand into a moment of remembrance, raising ‘Minab 168’ banners for the children killed in a strike on a school on the first day of the US-Israeli war on Iran.

Hello Minister for Minority Affairs @KirenRijiju, This is how hate against Muslims is normalised by Elected representatives and Govt funded News Channels.
Head of the state refers to Muslims as 'Jihadis' and Govt funded News Channels like @DDNewslive propogates it by running a hashtag "Yogi ka Ram Baan, Jihadiyon ka Kaam Tamam".

Crowd erupts in cheers at Iran’s first goal.

Some of you may not want to hear this but fans with all kinds of flags and slogans were high fiving and celebrating together.

भारत में सैनिक स्कूलों का बड़ा हिस्सा सरकार ने RSS और अडानी को सौंप दिया है!

कल मैं एक रिपोर्ट पढ़ रहा था, जिसे देखकर मैं हैरान रह गया।

देश के सैनिक स्कूल, जहाँ से बड़ी संख्या में बच्चे पढ़कर भविष्य के सैनिक और अधिकारी बनते हैं,

अब उन्हें RSS और अडानी जैसे समूहों द्वारा प्रशिक्षित और शिक्षित किया जाएगा!

देश के 62 % स्कूलों का निजीकरण कर दिया गया है सरकार के द्वारा!

RTI के अनुसार, सरकार ने 40 सैनिक स्कूलों का निजीकरण का डाटा दिया है।

इनमें से 8 स्कूल RSS से जुड़े संगठनों द्वारा संचालित किए जा रहे हैं,

1 स्कूल अडानी ग्रुप के पास है,

और 11 स्कूल बीजेपी नेताओं तथा उनके सहयोगी दलों से जुड़े लोगों द्वारा मैनेज किए जा रहे हैं।

बाकी स्कूल भी इसी तरह बीजेपी से जुड़े व्यक्तियों या संस्थाओं द्वारा संचालित किए जा रहे हैं।

सोचिए, देश के सैनिक स्कूलों में पढ़ने वाले बच्चों को अब RSS, अडानी और ब��जेपी से जुड़े संस्थानों द्वारा शिक्षा दी जाएगी!

क्या होगा देश के भविष्य का?

EEUU sigue humillando a las selecciones de fútbol que juegan en el Mundial. Ahora le tocó a Uruguay. Los jugadores fueron tratados como narcos, con inspección de perros antidrogas y uniformados con detectores de metales.
La FIFA perpetró una vergüenza histórica este año.

The amount of grief nations like Iran are carrying while being told to just “play football” under awful conditions on US soil, after everything that country has done to their people, is obscene.

🇵🇸 🎥 Israel will “take out so much of their anger about whatever defeat Trump is negotiating his way into [on the Iran and Lebanon front] on the Palestinians,” Jeremy Scahill told Hasan Piker.

“Palestinians are going to be like their punching bag. They’re going to be whipping them, killing them, murdering them, punishing them, occupying more of their territory,” he added.

The remarks came as Israel killed 5 Palestinians, including 2 children, a male nurse and paramedic, and a woman, in separate attacks across Gaza on Monday. 7 more Palestinians were killed on Sunday.

A leaked memo shows the European Union has known since 2017 that it had the legal right to freeze Israel's trade deal due to Israel's persistent violations of international law in the occupied West Bank. https://t.co/0lkP43NBaV

Dear lordships,
- 100+ RTI users have been killed for exposing corruption & thousands attacked and harassed- SC is silent.
- ⁠The Whistleblowers Protection Act passed in 2014 not implemented till date- SC is silent.
But every few days the SC berates RTI activists and calls them names- cockroaches, busy bodies, and today the Court is asking who are citizens to monitor public works! Perhaps your lordships need to be reminded that in a democracy citizens are sovereign and tax payers have a right to know how their money is spent. Courts should deal with individual cases on merit without passing derogatory remarks about those who hold power to account.

A Muslim man accused in the murder of a Hindu priest in Uttar Pradesh's Unnao district was killed in an alleged police encounter on Monday, another such incident that comes amid growing scrutiny of the state's encounter practices, which critics say bypass due process and constitutional safeguards.
