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

same story way back on Nov. 4 from the A.P. It hasn't flipped to a blue state from a red one, it's a new category: a split-ticket state. This year, it was still Republican down ticket, but local GOP shouldn't count on that--if those bums don't do their job, they might get the axe next time.
Likewise, Dems who think this vote means AZ is moving towards any kind of Dem platform, whatever it might be in the future, are deluding themselves.

The way Eva Longoria got shut down should give some idea. As REM sang, "Everybody Hurts" - focusing down on one group's pain at the expense of others just doesn't work. Telling people to shut up just doesn't work.

Black population 44m
Asian population 22m (and growing comparatively fast)

I also just think more of those demographics are pro-small business and even gig work and are libertarian in some ways, they don't want a big federal government with lots of bureaucracy. I.E. they don't want to be told they can't use plastic straws. Some probably go for Trump's shtick like complaining about water pressure. They don''t want more regulation of Lyft and Uber, they see it as a innovation that needs time and offers work. Many Asians especially don't like affirmative action AT ALL. They want to buy multi family homes and use the rent to pay the mortgage, they don't want to have to fight a squatter not paying them rent because of strict renter protection laws. Etc. In California especially there's a ton of local regulation and I get an earload of how horrible they are from relatives. One thing I know they don't like, though riots, looting, constant protests--especially of the type using bulhorns yelling at the capitalist pigs at the cashier lanes at the local Target, probably not too into lockdowns where they can't do the service work they sell for a living.
Not so much about "woke" culture wars, that's a young privileged educated thing including a lot of whites, I don't think a lot of them even pay attention to that. (Young Latinas in my hood are certainly NOT into woke, they're into Cardi B.)
A lot of them are just "3rd way" Dems, when AOC's The Squad took over the messaging, like it or not, the GOP did that, the louder she and her pals are, the more the socialist label sticks. To Bernie's benefit, he at least knows how to talk to working class whites as a substitute demo.

Trump needs 85% in AZ with a 11,390 deficit and only 16,707 votes to count.
Trump's averaging 54.5%
With 9,236 left in PA, Biden looks to finish with a 60K margin.
[7914 left now with 54,273 margin, after Trump did well in the last batch,
so doesn't look like Biden will make that 60K now - needs 72.4%]
Trump needs 80% of the remaining 63,439 votes in Nevada to overcome Biden's 36,866 lead (Biden averaging 60%)
Biden up by 14057 in GA, pulling 70% of the vote. Some confusion how many ballots remain (2000 to "10's of thousands")
Biden needs 73% of remaining 105,023 in Alaska - averaging 54%.
And BIden needs 71% in North Carolina, averaging 62.5%, with Trump up by 73,244 and still 176,712 ballots to count.
[I don't expect a Biden NC win, and some have already called it for Trump, but 177K votes requires breaking down by types & locations/candidate favorability, not just raw percent of remainder. See what happened with Trump in PA where he just got 1300 votes with a 62% margin, even though Biden's been getting the majority up to now.]
