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

Capitol riot defendant flips to help prosecutors against Proud Boys

I'd separate giving bail from charging as conspirators et al.
There are good reasons to assume many of the rioters are *not* a danger under normal conditions,
some even as argued with weapons charges, but who would be unlikely to attack someone on a normal day.
This is actually *good justice* - bail is not supposed to be pre-trial punishment.
Granted there may be some dispute whether certain suspects still warrant detainment before trial,
but in general it shouldn't be treated as excusing their indicted behavior, but *does* fit with
"innocent before proven guilty".
And as EmptyWheel et al have pointed out, the early cases (15-20%?), especially those under Trump,
were mostly low-hanging fruit, and as such probably easier to charge & less serious individuals.
Since end of January, DoJ is taking a slower approach, which probably includes more effort to get
those low-hanging fruits to flip on higher-ups, and not announce to the world what they're doing
(the 1 DoJ guy who went on a talk show got the boot but quick).
And in general, plea bargaining out the less serious cases will keep the courts free for serious stuff.
