For Americans who may not keep up with German politics, what just happened in #thuringen, a state in former East Germany is important but a touch confusing. So here's a small #thread.

[New Orleans Saints @Saints]

Les Saints s’en viennent à Paris!

The New Orleans Saints announce that we will be the designated team for the 2026 NFL Paris Game!

[Men in Blazers @MenInBlazers]

FANTASTIC moment in Arkansas as the Marshall Islands national team score their first-ever goal 👏

They are competing in the Outrigger Cup alongside the US Virgin Islands, Turks and Caicos, and the U19 team of Ozark United.

[UVA Law School @UVALaw]

Prof. Frederick Schauer — a “giant” in the legal academy who influenced scholarship on freedom of speech, constitutional theory, evidence and jurisprudence — has died. #UVALaw community members remember his life and work. https://t.co/U668xfUhcw

[Anthony Michael Kreis, FRHistS @AnthonyMKreis]

Business law; constitutional law.

[Leicester City @LCFC]

That promotion feeling! 🥳 🆙

[Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann @MAStrackZi]

Who are you?

[Kein Mensch Kein Tier @KampfmitKette]

Men will literally do Hochverrat instead of going to therapy

It's not a Löwe unless it's from the Lyon region of France otherwise it's just sparkling Raubkatze

While *technically* not an official member yet, #Finland has cleared the biggest hurdles to #NATO membership. We stand together to keep the peace 🇺🇸🤝🏻🇫🇮

[Chase Woodruff @dcwoodruff]

Happy two-year anniversary to the video that best captures the feeling of being alive in the 21st century

We are a long way away from #Fischer and the #Bielefeld Sonderparteitag of 1999…#Gruene supporters leading the way in #LeopardsForUkraine support. Majority of #Germans agree.

Don’t make me tap the sign:

#Poland and #NATO invoking #Article5 does not automatically launch the #nukes. It’s a mechanism for a collective security response, not instant Armageddon.

feeling spicy but what's new

@rickybordelon Ok but now do the tweet in proper Bluebook format

[The Royal Family @RoyalFamily]

The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.

The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.

Of course if you are the #EuropeanUnion you may be annoyed at these unilateral actions. Especially if you are #Germany or #France. But #Lithuania's diplomatic actions reflect the bloc's pro-democratic values. If its #EU partners did as well, they would not have to go it alone.

[J. Bolton Smith @BoltonMSmith]

Nothing would be more suicidal than #Russia attacking #Lithuania over blocking access to #Kaliningrad. It won't happen.

[J. Bolton Smith @BoltonMSmith]

But I am constantly impressed by #Lithuania leading the diplomatic charge against #authoritarianism. #Lithuania continues standing up against #Chinese and now #Russian imperialism by its #Kaliningrad stance.
