Transportation in the US is NOT READY for the FIFA World Cup.

If today's tragedy and the ICE agents showing up at dozens of US airports doesn't scare away football/soccer fans of the world, I am not sure what will.

In any case, Emergency Managers can't act fast enough.

Transit isn't ready for some FIFA World Cup host cities. Transit preparedness is a bigger issue since moving people smoothly is critical in LARGE events like this. The fans are going to have one terrible time getting around.

FIFA really needs to cancel this tournament.

この大統領の言及がアテにならないのは、周知の事実でございます。

The US POTUS cannot be trusted for his words:

‘Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf denied Monday that Iran is negotiating with the United States to end the war, adding that "fake news is used to manipulate the financial and oil markets."’

「行ったとし」、ですか。

はぁ～🤔

「建設的な協議」なんか行った前例がほとんど無い人間が大統領になってしまったんですから、その旨を是非報道記者団の方々に的確に捉えていただきたいと思います。

「建設的な協議を行ったとし」➡「建設的な協議を行ったと述べたのに対しイラン側は否定した」

「。。。攻撃を５日間延期すると表明した」➡「それにもかかわらず、。。。攻撃を５日間延期すると表明した」

"As a woman contesting Japan’s male-dominated system, and with no party support or experience in public office, Kishimoto had little chance of winning. Nevertheless, she carried the race with a margin of just 187 votes."

"Mayors who bicycle-commute" to work should definitely be a thing!

I absolutely love this.

There's a political leader in Tokyo (Satoko Kishimoto, Mayor of the Suginami-ward) who is also well-known as a bicycle commuter:

述べたことは事実でありとも、実際に述べた行動が確認されたか否かも、同じヘッドラインに含めて欲しいです。でないと、「述べたこと」=「行動をとった」と捉えられてしまいがちです。

この大統領の場合は他人様の為になる行動を取るのが稀なので、特に報道陣の方々にご注意していただきたいと思います。

The thing is, each one of those acts are supposed to be illegal but they keep happening so we have to question why they keep happening and why those who commit those acts keep justifying such acts as if they are morally justified.

We do not feel safe.

I just find it incredible that these bills are getting introduced:

The fact that such a bill needed to be written says a ton about the security and the state of this country.

Unbelievable.

Look, no one in the right mind (who is not a White male) is going to risk coming to the USA to experience 6 hour lines just to get through security and possibly get detained without reason so they could go see a 90-minute soccer match.

It’s just not worth the hassle.

I am already "old", but when I age further, I think I want to be completely alone.

ICE to Aid Airport Security Amid Partial Shutdown, Border Czar Says

ICE can’t even reliably train their own agents; what makes Tom Homan think they would be capable of keeping airline passengers moving smoothly, without any delays and skirmishes?

And what does this signal to airline passengers?

Y’all just cancel your flight plans!

Gianni Infantino needs to threaten Trump that his fake FIFA Peace Prize will be revoked AND that the FIFA Men’s World Cup 2026 will be entirely cancelled.

I mean, we know it’s getting harder every year…

🌸💮

And also would like to say that I am 100% in agreement with you.

I appreciate you being here!

💯 agree that it is not the responsibility of any of us.

I just wanted to say spreading and sharing love is only half of the equation.

It is sad when that love isn't appreciated because the receiver somehow got conditioned over time to reject anything genuinely good.

The permission comes in the form of having been on the receiving end of that permission and love AND allowing it to be fully received.

For some people, this is HELLA HARD.

In any case, the word "vulnerability" doesn't seem to be present in this person's vocabulary. While they may think it's not necessary, they are also unaware of what they might be missing...

Either that, or this is really just a very twisted and dishonest way for someone to say "I wish I could be like you, but something is blocking me from doing so -- BUT I am too chicken to ask for help AND showing my weakness will get me eaten alive".

Maybe this person is asking for permission.

Thank you!

I love this view.

Thank you for reading, now I will go back to thinking how broken and wrong I am. Because I just am.
