Next Draft - Navalny
"We don’t realize how strong we actually are. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing. So don’t be inactive." So said Alexei Navalny in anticipating his own deathat the hands of the Putin regime. Sadly, the reality he saw as a distinct possibility was just realized in a Russia jail. Most headlines are announcing that Navalny died in prison. It was a slow motion murder. Alexander Vindman cuts to the chase. Alexei Navalny was murdered by Vladimir Putin. "After sending his wife a Valentine’s Day message and appearing on camera on February 15th, Navalny reportedly 'felt sick after a walk and lost consciousness.' Only a fool would take Russia’s announcement at face value – it is clear that Alexei Navalny’s death was an assassination by the murderous regime of Vladimir Putin."

She didn't get it. But she got close. "Judge Arthur Engoron ordered the former president and the Trump Organization to pay over $364 million in damages, and bars Trump 'from serving as an officer or director of any New York corporation or other legal entity in New York for a period of three years.'" Of course, there will be an appeal. There will also be interest building up on the penalty during that process. 3Baby Love"As a general point, the United States, despite being the richest society Earth has ever known, tolerates astonishingly high rates of child poverty. Kids are two or three times as likely to grow up in poverty in the United States as they are in most of our rich-country peers. That is a direct consequence of the United States spending such a small share of its GDP on family benefits such as public child care, home visits, and payments to new parents—a smaller share than all other OECD countries except Turkey, Costa Rica, and Mexico. The country is also an outlier in lacking a comprehensive paid-family-leave program and child care for kids 5 and under." The Atlantic (Gift Article): The Case for Spending Way More on Babies. 4Weekend WhatsWhat to Book: "Come inside a jury room as one juror leads a starkly divided room to consensus. Join a young CIA officer as he recruits a reluctant foreign agent. And sit with an accomplished surgeon as he tries, and fails, to convince yet another cancer patient to opt for the less risky course of treatment." The excellent Charles Duhigg is back with a much-anticipated, sure bestseller: Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection. "Communication is a superpower and the best communicators understand that whenever we speak, we’re actually participating in one of three conversations: practical (What’s this really about?), emotional (How do we feel?), and social (Who are we?). If you don’t know what kind of conversation you’re having, you’re unlikely to connect." 5Extra, ExtraHarms Dealers: "In short, Mexico claims that illegal gun trafficking isn’t just an unwanted byproduct of the industry’s design choices, marketing campaigns and distribution practices. Instead, according to the lawsuit, feeding demand for illegal weapons is central to the industry’s business model." Mexico is suing US gun-makers for arming its gangs − and a US court could award billions in damages. 6Feel Good FridayCaitlin Clark broke the NCAA women's basketball scoring record in style, with a shot from the logo in a game where she scored 49. Jay Bilas on the record. "She is the most exciting and recognizable college basketball player in the country. Period. Men or women. Her games sell out, at home and on the road. Every sports fan knows her. Every. Single. One. Yet, the responsibility of carrying the women's game doesn't seem to faze her one bit. She is not the Pete Maravich or Steph Curry of women's basketball, she is a singular star in American culture." |
