The intra-Palestinian meeting in Moscow has precedent

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

What really drew my eye to this is the first comment on her post. At first I thought; well it could be fake but even if so it is interesting:

Trump knows that black women understand the con. He knows that the vast majority of black women cast votes against him. Trump strikes out at black women because they are not his type of people.
Reporters should respond to Trump in the same way White House reporters would have responded to President Obama if he made the similar derogatory comments about women reporters, or if Obama pulled the credentials of a Fox News reporters for asking a blunt question. Obama and his press secretary would not be able to continue unchallenged.

It's an interesting article. Perhaps it's good that we realize that Fox isn't the sole cause of the radicalization of the right. I'm not sure how many people thought it was the sole cause. But it seems evident that a significant part of the republican party has been radicalized. Better than saying it's not just Fox we need to find out what it is that caused that radicalization and figure out what if anything we can do about it.
