Here’s part of the email sent to hundreds of foreign students in the US, stripping them of visas because of pro-Palestinian social media posts. If they don’t leave immediately, the Trump administration threatens to deport them to El Salvador. (Via Times of India)

Remember all those Brexiters back in 2016 who swore the EU would be finished in a couple of years? It looks like Canada will be the first EU transatlantic member while the UK is still waiting for Trump to do a race deal.

Maybe you’re right. It might take them to be hurt in their pockets & lose their jobs before the people who voted for Trump realise what a dumbass thing that was to do. He’s an unhinged, egotistical maniac!

The whole thing is ridiculous. Trump needs to back off with his stupid tariffs. This will not end well!

That’s nice. I gave the cat following me some water too yesterday and today I saved him some chicken from lunch and gave it to him. He thought it was his birthday!

I was blown away today by the detail & beauty of the colourful images & hieroglyphics in the tombs I visited in the Valley of the Kings & Valley of the Workers in Luxor, Egypt today. Incredible they are so well preserved after five thousand years! #Luxor #Egypt
