This holiday weekend, let’s be safe and smart. It’s going to take all of us to beat this virus. So wear a mask. Wash your hands. And listen to the experts, not the folks trying to divide us. That's the only way we’ll do this—together.https://t.co/UwNKAzL8JU

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.

"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

The living will envy the dead....(just sayin")

All my life I've struggled with ailments that medicine does not understand, both for myself and my loved ones. I could see it coming from the getgo, and yes it is is hell and yes support groups on the internet are way better than dealing with it alone, thank heaven for small favors. Imagine what it was like before that. For example: I remember scouring Strand bookstore for opthalmology textbooks when all of sudden I couldn't see that well and was sick of torturous and even cruel appointments that just made things worse. And even in high school, I remember going to the med school library for my mom to try to figure out what was wrong with my little brother, what the diagnosis meant.
With Covid being a pandemic, there is this very special twist: practitioners are getting burned out (or sick and dying themselves!) and those that remain will have little sympathy for other ailments. Medicine will get mentally ill from Covid and it will take a long time to heal.

It's quite simply awesome.

"joyous" comes to mind among other words. I like that a diplomat's here not just fór business, but that he's so into the culture. I'd hope there are many more, ours included, but there's been so much done to destroy the foreign corps...

Little warning for the cancel culture crew, the separatists and the tribalists, and those just outright like to do the hate on this guy or gal thing. You vote for this guy, this is the kind of stuff you are going to hear from the White House:
Did you hear him say "except for Trump voters" or "except for Karen's" or "except for cops" or "except for Bernie Bros" or "except for GOP in the Senate"? No he did not, he did not make any exceptions. E pluribus unum, that's gonna be the message.

If Mitch McConnell controls the Senate, how will his interaction with Biden be different than his interaction with Obama?
