1/ I’ve been looking into a new influence operation called "Red Sea Axis", which publishes extensively on #Sudan, #Somalia, #Ethiopia, #UAE and the Horn of Africa.

Four days until Xi Jinping arrives in Washington.
For nearly six years, Jimmy Lai has been held alone in a Hong Kong prison cell for publishing the truth.
His wife and children have spent those years asking for him back.
@POTUS can raise his case.

President Trump tried to bring Greenland into North America. Instead, he's transcending geography by driving our former partners in Canada toward Europe.

Adam Silver on the future of the Blazers in Portland amid negotiations for arena renovations:
"It is my hope and belief that the Trail Blazers can be successful in Portland, Oregon ... I would see it as a failure if we did not keep the team in Portland."

A report from the excellent Israeli human rights organization @btselem, documenting the systematic oppression in the West Bank. And American financial and diplomatic support makes the US complicit.

As if fentanyl wasn't bad enough, there are newer street drugs spreading--xylazine, nitazenes and now cychlorphine (which I hadn't heard of until this heartbreaking story of a teen's death): https://t.co/ZcHWmple1V

@NickKristof Nick have you encountered a single person who is disgusted by Israel's rapes of Palestinians but not by rape in Sudan? If you have not encountered such a person then it is strange to hypothecate about one in this article.

Amazing reporting by @farnazfassihi about how a group of rogue Iranian hardliners revived the fighting between the US and Iran specifically to disrupt the possibility of a negotiated end to the war -- even as the supreme leader is AWOL. And now we're climbing the escalation

As the US is weakening higher education under President Trump, India is making great progress. Almost a third of Indians now attend university, and women are now slightly more likely to attend than men. Bodes well for India in the long term. https://t.co/C11kQvASq8
