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

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

There's lots more, but I'll stop now. It's ALLOVER THE COUNTRY. This is not accurately being reported in the national news. It's not just "anarchists". It's a crime wave. And it's serious.
We are all going to suffer this, we were already looking at a Depression. Insurers are going to run out of money and premiums are going to go sky high.
Coronavirus infections will probably go sky high as well. In a couple weeks, maybe the hospital workers will have enough strength to work long hours under massivie stress. Maybe they won't.
Edit to add: here's another sad one from Sacramento:

There are some things that you can change and there are things that you cannot change. You look at your personal situation and ask if there is anyone you can help. You ask if you need help. Our ancestors survived bad times and we have their genes. Each one help one. We have people around us who need help. There is always someone in worse shape. We can reach out to people who are energized by helping others. In these times, we do both. We have people around us who care.
I don't text a lot, but I have been texting friends and family about their frustrations and anger. They text me about their anger and frustrations. It is cathartic. I have connected with cousins I only see at family reunions. We are not in this alone.

This is the consequence of Trump’s reign of lawlessness, lies, hate, divisiveness, incompetence, obsession with unaccountable power, lack of decency and humanity and his stoking of rage.
Trump ridiculed a pandemic virus and brought us mass deaths and economic collapse. He stoked hate and police brutality and we got the murder in Minneapolis, by a police force represented by a white supremacist union chief. Trump is a sociopath, the biggest looter and miscreant in the nation. He will likely make things worse. He wants blood in the streets, he wants power and domination at any cost. As Scaramucci said, he will, and is, throwing the nation under the bus in the hopes of re-election.
In Phoenix protests last night, where the police force is led by a black female department chief, the crowd was dispersed at the curfew by a black woman from the protestors asking if any of the police will take a knee to support them, a practice vehemently attacked by Trump as hating America when done by NFL players. Three cops did. The protestors went home.

Interesting that the Mayor of Atlanta was a few days ahead of her, knew what she was seeing: ...This isn't protest....GO HOME. GO HOME. GO HOME...
Now the rooting is gonna end. Notice when you've lost the suburban females. The liberal families who like rule of law more than protesting.
Just better hope you don't lose their vote by November!
What blue city mayors and blue state governors do right now is gonna have a huge effect, huge. They need to talk tough like the mayor of Atlanta did. They really do need to get tough. Probably no more protests, they distract the police from crime fighting.
Oh and I'd be willing to bet right now that the next mayor of NYC (if it survives, that is, with less than half the businesses it used to have) will be a Republican.

Dont come across as stereotypical pawnshoo owners. Perhaps much of our cultural imagery Will be transformed by the time this is all over - both good and bad.

This is what they all look like and sound like in da Bronx. And there's lots of em.
Queens too, the same. But yeah, not like Midwest or the West, not the fancy TV white guy pawnbrokers. Immigrant business, just like the corner "bodegas"
See there's no strip malls except on the outer reaches of each borough, all businesses are on ground floor of old apartment buildings built before there were strip malls. Lots of very small business spaces in the boroughs, as the buildings are narrow.
