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

NYPD issues statement after viral video shows officers pulling protester into unmarked van
from the above
this was an interesting sidelight to the video going viral, it seems Chris Hayes does not avail himself of network news resources before tweeting about videos on the internet
The NYPD tweeted on it as well.
This is a NYC Councilwoman about the arrested woman:

Protesters feeding the homeless, saving kittens, praying for peace. I'm sure that "transgender woman" was a critical piece to the story (except means she can fight like a dude).
The initial descriptions makes it seem like an unmarked vehicle at night pulls up to a sidewalk, bags a walkerby into the back seat with muffled sound, shades of Argentina '75. Hard to imagine all police work gets done in well-marked cars so criminals can easily tell when to stop and move to a new location.

The video was alarming. But on second thought after reading the whole story, there was the whole reminder that all detectives wear plainclothes and Dick Tracy was once considered a heeero.
Then I remembered a personal incident it was like 1987 (crack epidemic still quite the thing, pre cell phone days) I was driving north on I-87 at like 1 am and I had a flat tire right under the George Washington Bridge. That was quite scary and lonesome territory under an overpass and next to a very steep hill strewn with weeds and litter and bigger trash. I didn't know what I was going to do. Suddenly I see three guys coming down the hill from Riverside Drive, towards me, my heart started pounding, I thought oh shit my life is over. When they got close I saw they had gold shields on chains around their neck. They were detectives on a stake out and they helped me change the tire because they were on a stake out and they just wanted me the fuck out of there! Hah. NYPD regulars are probably not allowed to help anyone that way. Detectives everywhere do have more flexibility on what they can do, it's just a reality. Can they be nasty? Well yeah, that too has been shown on the teevee shows forever...

Even feed the homeless? Save kittens?
The Feds wouldn't even let local police know they were there - total violation of Constitution.
