Opinion | Yulia Navalnaya: Dictators are coming for the lawyers
The persecution of my husband’s lawyers shows how authoritarian power eliminates dissent at its source.
"Lawyers are the necessary intermediary between citizens and their governments," writes Yulia Navalnaya, a Russian opposition leader and the widow of Alexei Navalny.
"That is why every dictatorship, from China to Tanzania, tries to tame them — or to break them. Russia is trying to do both."

Notes re: OKC v. Houston last night:
1. OKC picked Sengun in 2021 then traded him to Houston for two future picks. Presti is a genius, but sometimes things go awry in the lab.
2. Feb 27, 2016 deja vu for KD. Then, Curry hit the winning basket as GSW beat OKC. Last night, it was Shai FTW.

Four law professors debate whether secession could happen in modern America. While most agree geographic realities make state secession unlikely, author @rodgerdcitron.bsky.social explores how "soft secession" through sanctuary cities and nullification may already be occurring.
