Happy Indian Independence Day to those celebrating!

Pakistan won its first individual Olympic GOLD when Arshad Nadeem threw a new Olympic world record (well, he threw a javelin). Fellow Indian competitor, Neeraj Chopra, also made the podium with a silver medal (a consistent track record for the sports star). Their moms had the CUTEST things to say about the neighborhood “rivalry” which is actually a brotherhood (we’re not crying, you are) 🧕🏾🥇 #goldmedalsformoms
A 32-year-old Caucasian man repeatedly stabbed an 11-year-old girl who was with her mother visiting London’s tourist hotspot, Trafalgar Square. A TWG tea shop security guard, (brother) Abdullah, jumped in to the rescue and wrestled the attacker down! This follows news of 17-year-old boy who carried out a fatal knife attack last week (btw lots of fake news about his race/religion was spread. He wasn’t a Muslim immigrant, he was a Christian born in Wales) 😔😔
Israeli settlers stormed Al-Aqsa mosque with National Security Minister, Ben Gvir, leading the charge on Tuesday for Jewish holiday prayers. Agreements between Israel and Palestine have always clearly stated that the mosque can be visited by anyone, but should only be reserved for prayers by Muslim worshippers. Saudi has stepped up to condemn Israeli actions 👀👀
