Kenyan-led force starting deployment in Haiti:
"Many experts are guarded in their assessment of the international force, mainly because aside from tackling the insecurity there is no comprehensive plan to address the root causes of Haiti’s many governance problems."

Periodic reminder that protests are supposed to be disruptive. They occur after people have politely asked & had those in power shut down their requests. Also, football season events (parking restrictions, space-hogging public parties, early office closures) are more disruptive every fall weekend.

Video from @andrewleber.bsky.social of NOPD riding horse cops through a protest at Tulane. Feel pretty bad for the horses tbh, among other things, but the protestor hollering in the background of the video sums it up nicely: "THIS IS INSANE"

"Humanitarian groups have called on the Biden administration to not accept Israel’s assurances at face value. They say Israel, despite its insistence otherwise, is impeding the flow of aid into Gaza by truck, through long inspections at checkpoints and by refusing to open new ones."

North Gaza: "1 in 6 children under 2 years of age are acutely malnourished" I can't emphasize enough how much worse this war is than *anything* we have seen in recent memory, how quickly conditions deteriorated, and how comprehensive the humanitarian crisis is.

Important - and unexpected - ruling from the Senegalese Constitutional Council preventing Macky Sall from delaying the presidential election.
This decision is clearly departing from the Council's handoff jurisprudence when adjudicating electoral cases.

The idea that Democrats should bail Republicans out of an embarrassment of their own making in order to build up a legislative chamber hostile to their own policy priorities while getting nothing in return is just amazing pundit brain.
