It is difficult for me to make a comment. All is so tragic and corrosive. I admire your strength and sharing, Jeanne. Our country has been asleep for too long and now the naked truth is being revealed. Prayer, kindness, strength to show up and speak our truth ……. and forgiveness ….

Words do not comprehend the devastation happening all over the global community…. Wish I could be more articulate. My heart is crying. My soul is weeping. Community is ever our salvation and our gift to each others and

others. Thank you Jeanne.

Anna 🙏

If only he had stayed in Germany after he recovered from being poisoned by Putrid. ( misspelled on purpose) 😩. He could have accomplished so much more.

He writes about why he returned in the book. He actually accomplished a lot while in prison —except saving his own life.

I have heard his reasoning but in retrospect…😞

I think he also feared for his family, especially since Putin had imprisoned his brother years earlier just to hurt and punish Alexei.

On my "to be read" it goes. Thank you for reminding me.

Yes, Jeanne! Navalny is a saint... so incredibly brave, smart, fearless, and strong. His family too. His wife is just as remarkable. I fear everyday for Rom, my friend who resettled here from Cambodia. She is a "permanent alien" (I hate that legal term), but she doesn't look "American" (whatever the H*** that means). I'm scared she's going to be arrested one day and we may never find her again...

That is so heart breaking— your fears for Rom. But sadly realistic . I will keep her in my prayers and pray for her safety.
