Ironically the last game I won as the Abbasids was against a Mongol player. Probably thought he could pull a 1258 on me, but unfortunately for him the caliphate was too strong. I might as well have told him- you're not sacking Baghdad today, bitch. Send my regards to the Khan

What's my favorite thing about the Abbasid Dynasty, you ask?
Could it be the mighty ghulam warriors?
One Thousand and One Nights?
The invention of the windmill?
The development of the scientific method?
In this house we do not pick favorites. We love them all.

If you see this account glazing the Abbasid Dynasty, know that it's only because I've been playing a lot of Age of Empires 4, and not because I actually want to return the most glorious caliphate in history that ushered in the Islamic Golden Age (inshallah)

"But actually he was granted asylum on YOUR watch" is neither a gotcha nor particularly helpful for the interests of justice. It infers both that there was something wrong with the grant (and I have seen no evidence of that) and that the Trump admin is being too generous with asylum generally (lol)
Trump refuses to directly admit his administration granted the DC shooter asylum and then wraps up the press availability

Dem Senators and MoCs shouldn’t be voting for DoD authorization spending legislation as long as Hegseth remains in charge of DoD. This should be basic and a position that Dem Leadership should be whipping while loudly speaking out against war crimes/extra judicial killings funded by our tax dollars.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.
