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

It’s not about an UNRWA teacher who held an Israeli kid hostage in his house.

It's wild that Venezuela is now holding a vote on whether 2/3 of Guyana actually belongs to them! Analysts suggest that Modoru may want military action to pump up his sinking popularity.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tells Ryan Grim life in Congress ‘completely transformed’ after Democratic leader stepped down
"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

of course he doesn't have to worry about selling ratings and demographics to advertisers....and partisan debates and trying out spin and talking points are good for ratings, and can go viral that can double your payoff...

Partisan sloppiness, attack on NBC reporter by Ocasio-Cortez (found re-tweeted by Natasha Bertrand):
At least I hope it was sloppiness and not intentional propagandizing like Trump. More and more she is looking less and less like a shining star, more like a kiddie who is going to get eaten alive

I pretty much decided she was a fool when she advocated abolishing ICE. But a far left fool is far better than a far right fool. It's a reliable democratic district so she'll probably win and she'll go along mostly with the democratic caucus. It's ok, she'll likely grow into her role and learn.
