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

side topic, re: your headline. dunno, seems to me they are going for more youngins to attract youngin readers, actually. I just noticed that they've put on their Editorial Board:a 30-yr. old African-American female with bachelor's degree in PoliSci and a few years local news journo experience @ WSJ after a few years hopping around general reporter
I got her age here.
I noticed because she just blasted Hillary "ok boomer" style in a piece the other day, and went to check her out because I went "who the heck is that, never noticed her byline before)

A bit of Wokeness into every life must fall.
by PeraclesPlease on Thu, 01/23/2020 - 6:09am
So far, after checking further, looking like she's a divider type of woke, not a uniter, all for primarying anyone that got elected before 2016? (The party formerly know as Democratic, now a bunch of reactionary scum? Or maybe like: boomers: kill them all? Hillary a machine pol for sure, maybe even a Nazi.) We'll see.

That's a pretty extreme analysis. I don't get anything near that from what I've read of Mara Gay. Do you have anything to support your analysis?
by ocean-kat on Thu, 01/23/2020 - 9:15pm
That post is enough, but I did look at her Twitter feed too. She's clearly anti-classic-Dem, looks forward to them all being replaced with "The Squad" types. I would not be surprised if she was anti-Pelosi, too, too much of a compromiser. It's a very common syndrome in NYC. This is why we ended up with Republican mayors being elected, the activists are very lefty and get this impression that everyone in the city is like all their Brooklyn friends. Alas, the quiet centrists also end up voting too....

Did you object to her pieces on Michael Bloomberg or bail reform?

I don't "object" to op-ed pieces. I read them. And after a time, I might make a judgment about the writer and what angles they push and then whether they do that well enough to continue reading them or go find someone who represents the same view but writes better and is more sophisticated about challenging readers' thoughts.
Not a big fan of the agitprop type of op-ed, as you might know by now. No matter what political angle is being pushed. Don't get a lot out of "amen" and "say it again, brother" technique, left right or center.

Mara Gay was part of the NYT editorial boards' endorsement of Warren and Klobuchar
Here is her explanation on MSNBC's " Morning Joe"

Well I'm pretty anti-establishment too, and I support primary challenges of conservative politicians. One of the politicians referenced in the article added amendments in an important abortion bill against same sex marriage and equal pay for women. I'd have difficulty voting for someone that far out of sync with my principles.
Does that mean I think the party is scum? That I want all boomers killed? That Hillary etc. are Nazis? That's what I don't see in Mara's posts.

Seems that she got the story right. The NYT has been looking for a younger audience. Age does not mean that she is not qualified

Reading Brooks, Friedman, and Dowd is an excellent cure for insomnia.
Jamelle Bouie and Charles Blow, for example, offer different views of issues. The NYT is trying to maintain relevancy.
