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

to those of you here (and there were at least 2 of you, I will never forget it) who on Jan. 6 were reacting to my news posting by supporting the idea that the rioters were being welcomed along the lines of "if they were black, they would have been shot immediately", here's your answe
THIS IS WHY YOU HAVE CROWD CONTROL AT PROTESTS, THIS IS WHY POLICE ARE "MEAN" TO PROTESTERS (of all varieties!), SO THAT IT DOESN'T TURN INTO A RIOTING MOB THAT EVEN GUNS CAN'T CONTROL.
You don't even let a large protesting crowd get too angry or too dense. Start there, you start corralling them right away. They don't obey a curfew, you start arresting, clubbing, ETC. Or you could end up with this. Those little flimsy barricades, what a joke. An angry group of protesters would start with that.
I note that some of the cops here are the later DC reinforcements in riot gear, and even they couldn't handle the already riled state of this mob and the proximity they had already breached. It should have never gotten this far, but Capitol police did not expect this, the grounds were not protected well for a breach by masses of people, just had up flimsy little barricades AND FURTHERMORE, more importantly, they are not trained in crowd control. The Capitol building actually does not entertain protesters of any type to begin with, individuals who try it are often ushered out.

The signs were obvious enough that Jan 5 i actually started writing to some DC authorities, forget which, to take this seriously, that it looked like it would be loony. If I can tell that from Europe...

The issue surrounding the difference in response between the Capitol insurrection and Black Lives Matter protests was about the show of force. President Biden noticed the difference.

I will never forget the difference in treatment.

would have been a frigging no brainer slogan if we hadn't had many previous months of breaking curfew, rioting, looting, breaking property burning of police stations and especially: attacking federal buildings by supposed BLM supporters
but no, we couldn't because the left wanted to secede from government too...and buy guns...to protect themselves from the evil police agents of laws enacted by their overlord oppressors, the other guys they share citizenship with...nobody could...everybody riot now cause: we're unhappy, we don't get our way
