After surviving an attempt on his life, Russian activist Alexei Navalny has been detained after bravely returning to Russia today. I call for his release.

The United States must stand with those fighting corruption and working for democracy around the world.

1. Trump won't. Biden will.

2. At least it was not an Aquino-type reception.

3. They arrested as they said they would. Navalny is

incredibly courageous but I wish he had stayed in Germany with his family and been an activist outside Russia. His country-over-life philosophy is powerful. Such a remarkable human being.

4. Shout out to Bernie for adding his voice to the condemnation of Navalny's arrest.
