🧵My translation of the analysis of the current situation in Russia by an active FSB analyst. Buckle up for a long thread and definitely please share far & wide. The full text is over 2000 words. This is a highly insightful look behind the curtain - covers many subjects.

You know how playground slides have that rubber mulch around them now? We didn't need it because our falls were cushioned by the chipped teeth of children who previously had played there.

Breaking: Florida passes Amendment 4 to restore voting rights to 1.4 million ex-felons with 64% support. Largest enfranchisement of new voters since Voting Rights Act. This is a game changer for voting rights

Why am I being forced to watch Grassley casually eat nuts while Klobuchar is making the speech of a lifetime?

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

I admire Apple most for their focus. They don’t have a venture arm. They don’t run incubators or accelerators. They don’t want to host you. They focus on what they do best: making sure you have to replace all your accessories and connectors each time you buy a new Apple product.

I'd much rather live in a world reflecting the values, philanthropy, and yes intelligence of LeBron James and Don Lemon's intelligent commitment to truth and journalism than the divisive peevishness, lies, and narrow self-interest displayed by the President of the United States.

Beyond outrageous. Amb. McFaul served our country honorably and with full diplomatic immunity. If the White House cannot defend and protect our diplomats, like our service members, they are serving a hostile foreign power not the American people. https://t.co/XjtYrKMBjX
