Unless the U.S. unfreezes $9.5B in assets back to the Afghan people, @MasudaSultan warns @mehdirhasan there could be:
1M dead children,
The migration of refugees to Europe,
An increase in ISIS activity,
And a U.S. legacy of creating one of the worst famines in history.

Technology addiction is like “Someone is pouring itching powder over us all day,” @johannhari101 tells @mehdirhasan. “And then leaning forward and going ‘Hey you might want to learn how to meditate, then you wouldn’t scratch so much.’”

When it comes to apartheid, most people think South Africa’s history of racial segregation.
But after a blistering new report, many eyes are now on Israel and its brutal treatment of Palestinians.

How concerned are lawmakers & law enforcement about violence by Trump supporters if their leader is charged?
It “has been a pressing issue that’s front of mind at the very highest levels at the FBI & the Dept. of Homeland Security over the last year,” says @woodruffbets.

The threads of Trump’s attempted election subversion are slowly being woven together.
But if much more time passes without consequences for all of Trump’s past attempts, @mehdirhasan warns, they merely become (all together now) 🗣 training exercises for the next one. 🗣

When Trump claims the VP could overturn an election, it seems like he’s forgetting the current Vice President is Democrat Kamala Harris.
@ruthbenghiat says to understand the logic of the Trump cult, it helps to “think like an authoritarian.”

“Trump incriminated himself when he used the ‘o’ word. When he said Pence should overturn the election result,” says @LawProfButler. “Now we have the former president of the United States admitting that he lost, but saying that he still should’ve remained in office.”
