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

"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

Only fitting - he still owns the spending prize for Independent Counsels as well.

More curious is Maggie misspelling it - is that to appeal to non-elite fans, or to point out that the Prez is traveling with counterfeit luxury gear? (tried to blow it up to see labels, but none)

Isn't there a Trump brand luggage? I thought he sold his name for every product. But then he probably knows the Trump brand is shit. He'll promote it but he doesn't actually use it.

Barron Trump is taller than his mom, even in her heels, and he's sporting a new haircut
Is Barron Trump going to end up as the tallest Trump? Looks that way, and he's got a hip new haircut

Hadn't quite realized that. Did notice that Donald now has bigger tits than his wife. Could put him in one of those Big Brother Reality Shows, soaping them big hooters up, giving himself a manly squeeze...
Melania's probably 5'8", i.e. not that tall. the Donald's probably down below 6'1" now due to bone compression.

Wow, he should run for mayor of NYC. He's taller than De Blasio and as Blasio has said, "The tallest candidate usually wins." De Blasio would probably just concede the election rather than run a failing campaign against a taller candidate.

May reflect the insanity of paying full tuition. "Need blind" admissions is a bit of a joke.

Good point.
If politics of resentment and tribalism continues as a trend, makes my head hurt to think of ramifications.We wouldn't even know if we didn't track by race and gender, but we do, for many reasons.that one can't ignore. At the same time, it can't continue forever, because young people are increasingly mixed race, so there's that.
It's encouraging to me to see those who are labeled "Hispanic" care more about higher education than in previous decades. A mystery to me is why there isn't more resentment than there is of those labeled "Asian" for taking up so many spaces.
Blame the GI bill for verifying the idea that this is the way to climb the class ladder?
If everyone who wanted to went to college, then things might change to two classes, college/non-college that might mean little monetarily? Because of the growing situation of low-paying gig economy for college grads for the foreseeable future?
They still ask education level on things like credit card applications. Will there be a new separation between "online" college grads and "brick and mortar" college grads?
So many questions, boggles the mind, sometimes I don't get why we are sorting people this way any longer, what good it does. Including on political polls. Hurts more than helps? Reinforces tribalism?
