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

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

Source at Fox News: "Fox is about defending our viewers from the people who hate them. That’s where our power comes from. It’s not about Trump.”
in other words, "Fox is about celebrating our loyal viewers receptiveness to our message of hate and fear, and their easily exploitable ignorance and bigotry, it's a bottomless well of power and cash."

just finished reading Jeremy Peters summary for the NYTimes of what their radio pals are up to, along with Pirro and Dobbs. Seems less chaos, just the usual.
To me, though, it's this one quote that really hits the target. I use to be aghast at Limbaugh just for this one simple reason: why would anyone want to listen to someone for three hours a day tell you what to think about what's going on in the world? After umpteen imitators came about, I finally realized: There's a certain kind of person that finds actual comfort in hearing preaching, someone telling them what to think. About a simplistic world picture that is easy to understand, who is good, who evil, and tells them they're winners to be faithful followers of the one true narrative. Whether it's a religious preacher or a Limbaugh:
some listeners get angry and act out, true. But I think most of those have moved to internet hate groups gathering places, that's become more ground up with no leaders telling them what to think and believe. I think what's left of this right wing audience as to TV and radio is more like people getting their fix of "people like me", which means people who like a certain sermon to make sense of the world.
And there's a lot more victim thinking creeping in this demographic all the time. Which makes me think that if Trump ends up being removed, this isn't the type of demographic that will rise up in anger, rather they will wallow in further victim fantasies. And listen to their favorite preacher for even more hours per day;.

Media Matters pointing out Dobbs doing the victim thing today. I would argue that it's the victim thing that sells best now, where they are not hating, it's the activist left that's hating:

"they will wallow in further victim fantasies"
Exactly. It gives their lives meaning. It's why their kids with initiative and smarts who can, move away.
