Russia's takeover of a foreign country's internet has little historical precedent. But it's likely a sign of things to come as the internet becomes a more important battleground in all world conflicts.

We strongly condemn the Burma military regime’s executions of pro-democracy activists and elected leaders. Such reprehensible acts of violence and repression cannot be tolerated. We remain committed to the people of Burma and their efforts to restore Burma's path to democracy.

Still so shocked by Abe events. Am finding all other news to be a distraction from what happened in Japan.

[Jessica Pham-Ruhland @jpham1]

Apt words to describe former PM Abe. 😔

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

I am shocked and saddened beyond words at the tragic demise of one of my dearest friends, Shinzo Abe. He was a towering global statesman, an outstanding leader, and a remarkable administrator. He dedicated his life to make Japan and the world a better place.

[Jessica Pham-Ruhland @jpham1]

Prayers for PM Abe, another sign of a world in absolute turmoil 😔🙏

[The Japan Times @japantimes]

BREAKING: Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been shot in the city of Nara, NHK reports.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Forced birth in a country with:

—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations

This isn't about "life." It's about control.

Ah yes, and my dad from the Vietnam War era reminds me of the tearing down democracy bits.

[Jessica Pham-Ruhland @jpham1]

War, inflation, pandemic. What a chapter for the history books decades down the line...
