Responses to Alexei Navalny’s murder
The last video of @navalny from yesterday’s court hearing. As you can see, he is in good spirits, joking and making cracks, and apparently healthy. https://t.co/c6pHRSEBWJ

The contrast between the journalists who chronicled Navalny's poisoning, particularly @bellingcat, taking huge risks to expose the truth, and @TuckerCarlson's craven, whimpering, regime propaganda was never starker than today.

Q: In your interview with Putin, you didn’t talk about freedom of speech in Russia, you did not talk about Navalny, about assassinations

What strikes me about Navalny's murder is its timing. Trump has said he won't defend Nato allies, Republicans in Congress have blocked vital aid to Ukraine, and the US looks divided & weak. Putin thinks he is winning: on the battlefield and in his broader war with the west

Putin murders Navalny the same week Donald Trump invites Russia to invade Europe and MAGA Mike Johnson blocks aid to Ukraine. This isn’t a coincidence, it’s the green light Putin has been given. https://t.co/K0Tm3H4IxE

A clear and brave message from @navalny in case the regime should kill him. pic.twitter.com/zOEoFZheEG
