I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

"Stop procrastinating" in cuneiform:
"Why don't you write your tablet and do your homework? If you don't, they will say: "Is *this* the sister of Sheru'a-eṭirat, eldest daughter of the Succession Palace of Ashur-etel-ilani-mukinni, the great king, mighty king, king of the world, king of Assyria?"

Queen Liballi-sharrat, the wife of king Ashurbanipal, and his sister Sherua-etirat were both literate.
In fact, Sherua-etirat once scolded her sister, then the crown princess, for not doing her homework. Literacy, it seemed, was an expectation of these Assyrian queens.

A reminder that they are ALREADY detaining and deporting citizens. I know many haven’t taken this seriously because it hasn’t effected them, but it will.
President Trump is attempting to deport people using a wartime law last used to justify the internment of people of Japanese ancestry.
We’re suing him.

The Alien Enemies Act of 1798 was used to justify World War II-era internment of noncitizens. Now Trump is attempting to abuse that authority to deport immigrants without due process

Professional achievement unlocked: I was telling my tourists for the day about the Hôtel de Cluny and how the museum in it is my favourite in Paris and they said “let’s go in! You’ll show us the highlights!”
I got to go at length about the museum of the Middle Ages’s jewel, mentioned in ep 5 & 12

The amount of ethical problems and ethical-problem-washing in this "dire-wolf" recreation is crazy.
I'm so done with GRRM...
(custody of Brienne and Jaime has been seized by the fandom anyway, since he left them unattended to run after his Targaryens).
