MAGA are out trying to intimidate Epstein rape & trafficking survivors and derail conversations regarding the case; while also simultaneously parading a video of Trump murdering 11 civilians and boasting about it, claiming that murdering people at random is what they voted for.

The United States is not safe for foreign nationals. Avoid all travel to the US if not necessary. If you are inside the United States plan a safe and immediate exit. Let others know your location at all times and do not travel without your documentation.

Keeping up with #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar is tough, as the situation is complex & alot happens. So I really appreciate ALTSEAN-Burma's coup watch briefer that provides a detailed monthly (sourced) summary. Really important reasource & record. Full briefer: drive.google.com/file/d/1hF4_...
Cover page of ALTSEAN-Burma's coup watch briefer showing a picture of Myanmar with a small ammount colored in representing the ammount of the country the junta census was able to reach which was forty percent.1st page of the coup watch briefer. Headlines:
As of 10 Jan, there were at least 
50,186 armed clashes and attacks 
against civilians since 1 Feb 2021, 
with at least 3,235,500 displaced 
people (as of 20 Jan). Junta troops 
continued their violent crimes.

Census results show junta only able 
to access around 44% of townships.

Junta enacts "Cybersecurity Law".

Junta chemical weapon use reported near Karenni-Shan border.

Junta acquires Chinese aircraft, incl. new fighter jets.

 Junta bombs villages, kills 68 for BRI-linked Kyaukphyu-Muse railway.

Joint junta air, navy, and land assault 
on Launglon Tsp. displaces 8,000.

Humanitarian crisis is at all-time 
high, Burma now 3rd worst in the 
world after Sudan and Palestine.

 World Bank predicts further economic deterioration under junta.

AA, CBA gains leave junta in control 
of only three towns in Arakan, less 
than 15% of Chin. 

MNDAA summarily executes six after 
public trial.
● Delhi elections drive anti-Rohingya 
hate in India.
● Thai-hosted regional meeting 
platforms junta's sham election.
● Thailand claims "no evidence" found 
after probe into junta weapons 
transactions.
