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

It’s not about an UNRWA teacher who held an Israeli kid hostage in his house.

It's wild that Venezuela is now holding a vote on whether 2/3 of Guyana actually belongs to them! Analysts suggest that Modoru may want military action to pump up his sinking popularity.

"Both the AU and the intl community place more weight on whether elections are held than whether they are free and fair. Sanctions/expulsions occur when there is a coup but not necessarily when elections are rigged or if an “institutional coup” occurs." https://t.co/m9dNimJP0D

we are all in this together, don't gloat, MOURN that they made this mistake. Like Andrew Yang, we need to try to figure out how we can ameliorate the damage
or we are all in deep shit and yes that includes all colors of skin. They are important parts of the national economy! Not to mention if we can't get some more immigrant health care workers soon, you can fuggeaboutit health care, as large numbers of American doctors and nurses quit out of exhaustion and depression soon.

More orphans soon? Then there's the lasting damage of child abuse, oh joy...

Comes to mind, though, how they used to do it: chores, chores, chores. Milk the cows, feed the chickens and geese, hang the wet clothes...and the older ones take care of the younger ones, clean them, change the diapers, groom them, dress them,...parents got other shit to do...

Here's more on the meme that working parents are inessential:
Thing is: the argument that whatever else you do is inessential compared to parenthood, it has logic, if you chose parenthood, it should be your #1 job. Just that you thought you could always earn enough to sub-contract the work out, well, surprise, life doesn't always follow the plan!
by artappraiser on Thu, 07/02/2020 - 9:37pm
Well, that #1 job thing is a very recent attitude, leading to helicopter parents, fights at soccer games, etc. And there are Real questions how much Is healthy, how much dampens important growth of independence and tolerance of (gasp) boredom, filling their time theirselves, balance of non-academic interest, along with the missed adulting stuff that many adults no longer do.
Of course survival in the thirties meant something. Even for kids. And those Korea parents keeping the shop going while the kids play on the sidewalk? Not #1 enough?
