The intra-Palestinian meeting in Moscow has precedent
— Hanna Notte (@HannaNotte) February 29, 2024

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

"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 community keeps them highly focused on violence.
Meanwhile state-by- state figures of women killed by men in 2018 (sure it's up this year)
https://www.statista.com/statistics/327462/women-murdered-by-men-united-...
Around the world it's 6 women killed by men per hour, with over 40% of women suffering physical and/or sexual abuse from partners in the Mideast, 1/3 in North America.

I found the list of transgender people killed, but it didn't include circumstances, vs run-ins with the law etc.

^ the mysterious constant approval rating hovering around 40% splained right there?
was:
the 33% kookarookoo conservatives that will approve of Vlad the Impaler as long as he/she is not a Democrat or liberal, who have always been in our polls for decades
plus
7% comprised of immigrant people, many Hispanic, who were very happy with their pocketbook situation and didn't find a lot of liberal rhetoric about socialism and such and preferences for certain minority groups over others very enticing
