Since the fall of El-Fasher in Sudan earlier this week, “very few people [are] getting out”, says @rescue.org President & CEO, David Miliband. Only 5,000 civilians have made it to safety, while the 250,000 caught in the enclave face “grave danger and mass killing.” #Velshi
‘Blood in the sand’: The siege of El-Fasher heightens Sudan conflict
Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) seized the city of El Fasher in the country’s Darfur region, leaving a trail of blood and atrocities in their wake. Analysts warn that the two-year long civil war, which has triggered one of the biggest humanitarian crises in the world today, is being fueled by regional powers backing opposite sides of the conflict. The International Rescue Committee is a global humanitarian aid, relief, and development organization. Its CEO and President, David Miliband tells Ali Velshi “every humanitarian emergency is a political emergency.”

Best strange advice I’ve ever gotten: If you catch yourself having negative thoughts about yourself, start hearing them in Trump’s voice. You’ll immediately begin defending yourself.

Maddow: 88% of the country says no, no, he cannot defy a supreme court ruling. Only 9% say yes he can. And you know, it's not the same thing. But I should mention that 9% is also the proportion of Americans who told yougov this week that they have a favorable view of the black plague

A mild 70 degrees in the DC area, most of the cherry blossoms have given way to other flowering tree displays, another nice day for Hegseth to resign although yesterday would have been preferable and tomorrow will still be suitable.
