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

Location: U.S. Embassy and residential compounds
Events: Heavy gunfire is occuring around the area of the U.S. Embassy and residential compounds adjacent to the Trutier area of Tabarre. All Embassy personnel have been instructed to remain indoors and shelter-in-place until further notice. All others should avoid the area.
Actions to take:
- Avoid the area;
- Avoid demonstrations and any large gatherings of people;
- Do not attempt to drive through roadblocks; and
- If you encounter a roadblock, turn around and get to a safe area.

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

Odd case, misled judge, no probable cause, only presumption of guilt via larger than $5k holdings, then pivoted to collecting all other private items such as passwords... Total violation of privacy with no decent legal framework to work within. Not the week we need the FBI doing this shit.
by PeraclesPlease on Thu, 09/29/2022 - 2:33pm
agree. sounds like gungho guys full of themselves. truth be told, we had those kind of IRS agents too, back when they were fully staffed - actually I think that kind of overreach abuse was way more common with them than it ever was with FBI. watcha gonna do, after all there aren't that many good M.D.'s either? The fourth estate is important! So are torts! The ability to sue is a way underappreciated part of our system - even the fear of them does a great deal.

describes pretty meticulous police work and at the end you see why that was: a ton of people worked on the case -

If there is no freedom from frightening harassment by homeless crazy people and wilding youth, it's dejas vus allover again 1980's when this happened at least once to a majority of people traversing Manhattan We almost forgot what it was like, but now the bad memories are floating up (even if in a car, you were not protected as you encountered aggressive, erratic "squeegee men".) The type of tourists who look forward to "slumming" might get an adrenalin thrill out of this - and a story about their trip to the big city to take back home - it's not as much fun when you're encountering it trying to navigate your own daily life and you don't know if you're lucky that day. Daily adrenaline rushes about possible maiming or death are not all they are cracked up to be.
