Lukashenko arriving at the KGB HQ for “negotiations” with opposition figures he’d jailed was one of the stranger moments of the Belarus crisis. I spoke with people who were in the room to get a sense of how things went.

 

#Belarus Amazingly powerful video. Day 82. People are singing "Mury" in Belarusian at the site of Stalin-era repressions in Kurapaty. Poet Andrei Chadanovich translated the song. I don't remember such crowds. If I may paraphrase: the nation that remember its past has the future

From anonymous claims of military atrocities to a school security guard who tried to become a cop, the so-called movement is more pro-law enforcement than you think

 

FINAL TV AD: We were warned about the risk of #COVID19 becoming a pandemic in January. Scientists knew and many sounded the alarm. And @realDonaldTrump knew, but he decided to “play it down”. So many have died needlessly. #Vote because our lives depend on it.

 

They broke the postal service. They broke the Supreme Court. They’re trying to break our spirits. Vote and show them we can’t be broken.

 

You have my word: if I have the honor of serving as your president, I will do everything in my power to defeat COVID-19. Here’s my plan to get it done:

The man selling the Hunter Biden dossier does not exist. His picture is computer generated. The intellegence firm peddling it is fake too, according to @NBCNews. What are odds the “Hunter Biden” laptop Greenwald insists is being censored is also a fake?

 

This storm will pass, and a new day will come.
