The intra-Palestinian meeting in Moscow has precedent
— Hanna Notte (@HannaNotte) February 29, 2024
Russia's hosted such meetings in the past, most recently Feb 2019
Russia has long lamented the US' "monopolization" of the peace process & tried to carve out a niche for itself: mediating among the disunited Palestinians/2

A mass expulsion of Afghan migrants could destabilize the region and fuel radicalization. The West should pressure Islamabad to change course.
All eyes on #Chad right now
Chad has two internet trunks coming into the country: One from the Red Sea via Sudan; the other from Cameroon. Not possible for the totality of the country's internet network to be shut unless done centrally. A lot of rumors swirling; few facts. https://t.co/N6bDJZ2ixO

yes and no - I just witnessed this first-hand, and it's pretty shocking.
on the other hand, part is a problem of other states putting homeless on the bus for California, part is the direct result of rising housing costs (the down side of the 2008 bubble recovery), part is the result of 10 years of bad decisions and feeble or contradictory response, and part is the visibility you'll see in a metro area of 13 million where 55,000 parked largely downtown & other key areas will stick out greatly, but to be fair, it's quite as visible in flashy San Francisco where Asian tourists especially are regularly horrified by the ragged & drugged-out homeless.
At the same time, this article makes clear the current mayor is trying, rather hard. It's a problem that affects all of the US, but LA is often the canary in the coal mine for these things, though obviously granting the right to sleep on sidewalks isn't quite as aesthetic as building much much more low-cost housing. (There was just a round in north Berkeley about building more housing vs. leaving the open pleasant grassy areas owned by the BART system - pleasant environment won over the need for housing, even or especially from the aging hippies. NIMBY is a way of life.). It's also interesting & sad to read all the blame for liberals in the LA Times comments, as if sanctuary cities are the main cause of burgeoning homelessness.

BTW, a Southern boy who might pull some sway with the 2020 election coming up.
His speech on pulling down the confederate statues struck me as perhaps the most articulate speech I'd heard in 25 years.
Of course he'll be on the wrong side of the identity politics divide, but then again, Bernie didn't quite fit it either...
