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

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

More on same:
Fellow area free-lance journalist Justin Yau was physically attacked earlier Friday by a protestor or protestors who did not want any publicity showing their identity or actions. (A reminder that would not be the typical modus operandi of a peaceful protestor, peaceful protestors want publicity.)

Man arrested, charged following incident in Minneapolis where National Guard members were shot at
KSTP, local ABC tv channel Updated: April 19, 2021 07:25 PM
Photo: Courtesy of Minnesota National Guard. This image shows a bullet hole in a National Guard vehicle after shots were fired Sunday morning in north Minneapolis.A 28-year-old man has been arrested and charged following an incident over the weekend where National Guard members were shot at in Minneapolis.
more interesting detail of arrest available in the downloadable pdf of the 8-page criminal complaint.
I especially thought interesting what the juvenile told them, stated in item #10 on page 6
https://www.justice.gov/usao-mn/press-release/file/1388056/download
and Thomas' record, 3rd-degree assault, served 18 mos. And that they thought an item in the glove compartment might be narcotics. And that one of the pistols had an obliterated serial number.

Has made his initial appearance in federal court and is currently being held in Sherburne County Jail; he's black, there's now this jail photo. He listed residence as Chicago, but the 3rd-degree assault conviction was from Minnesota in 2017:

I think I can answer his question: they want to afflict the comfortable and they think that will comfort the afflicted while civilization tumbles into chaos so we can start a do over. As long as it doesn't hurt their parents who are still supporting them with food, shelter, clothing and cell phone service.

I see Jilani thinking along the same lines as me as far as the clueless liberal elite college kiddies at OSU:
They could, ya know, always go to a cheaper college and donate the savings in tuition funds to community service alternatives to policing in poor Columbus neighborhoods if they really believed it would help stop knife fights...

even though they won't listen to Yglesias (he doesn't even get along with garden-variety woke millennials at Vox, after all) I think his opinion should be put here as to who does what in what neighborhoods. and how to win friends and influence people on topic, a thing he's had a longtime interest in:

^ this article is very good, no more beating around the bush that there is an actual anarchist faction there and that some "black lives matter" activitists are starting to speak out against their behavior.
but a the end of the article,is a good summary getting across what they really want to happen - they want taxpayers like this to leave, they want the city to fall apart and the want it to start over from zero, a whole new system. that is what anarchists want. people joke about it, but it's not a joke, they are really into destruction and passionate about it, especially anything that smacks of capitalism
And as people with money move away, businesses like his will too, it's a vicious cycle. With no one to pay the taxes.

Boy does Joseph Hanson have a great little list of items for Maranie to ponder about the protest video she posted:
I would add: they were expressing they want anarchy, amirite? They got it, this is it! Congrats to the protestors, got themselves a truly wild success.

There is an anarchist group that is increasingly active on social media, Black Hammer (@BlkHmmrTimes. We are an anticolonial organization dedicated to getting our land back! Join us in making a city with no rent, kkkops, rona or colonizers at http://blackhammer.org)
They are unashamedly anti-semitic, going along with support of Palestinian causes, though the latter is not their primary interest (it's more like they presume all Palestinians are supportive of anarchism and Israel is evil. Jews as colonizers, a riff on the whole Protocols of Zion thing) They regularly do screeds against Anne Frank on Twitter, causing her name to trend. The goal is to just to piss people off? Start the ethnic wars? or what?)

in Portland on May Day, a rally for abolition of ICE (a favorite target of Portland anarchists as an institution of white supremacy) went along with the liberation of Palestine cause. It's easy to see taking it a step further and calling Israel part of the whole white supremacist conspiracy, and another step making all Jews white supremacists, which some in Black Hammer obviously are doing --
