I.e., the path to power will be long and winding and through a jail cell. — PolitiTweet.org

I remember when I first met @navalny ten years ago. I was struck by his charisma and obvious political skill. As an observer put it, in a normal country, he'd have a brilliant political career. But it's Russia, so he'll have to be a Mandela figure instead. https://t.co/WMj350w21H https://t.co/wXhx7b8EAx — PolitiTweet.org

People have compared Navalny's return to Russia to Lenin's arrival at St. Petersburg's Finland Station in the spring of 1917, but here's another parallel: Lenin, with the help of his wife, created a network that could function and get out his message even he was (often) in jail. — PolitiTweet.org

He is also still posting on social media, via his associates, saying that he does not regret returning to Russia. "I couldn't have acted in any other way...It was a fully rational decision." He is also calling people out into the streets on January 23. https://t.co/t9TKwcHf8E https://t.co/kscuK3o9qM — PolitiTweet.org

Want to know what a shrewd politician @navalny is? Two days after being arrested at passport control on his return from Germany (where he was recuperating after the FSB poisoned him), Navalny has released a new investigation: on Putin's $$$ palace. https://t.co/d3ihTRBnHT — PolitiTweet.org

This is exactly right: “There is a myth around that Jared and Ivanka will be rejected socially. The rich are never rejected—until they go to prison or lose their money.” An excellent read from the excellent @katierogers https://t.co/2JYntbQZrg — PolitiTweet.org

I will say this again, as someone whose family lost many, many people to both Stalin and Hitler: kindly stop making a bad-faith, ignorant, ass-backwards mockery of our history. And read a book, for crying out loud. — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks five months since I got sick with #COVID19. According to my pulmonologist, I am still not fully back to normal. I feel fine, I'm working out, but I still have to use an inhaler a couple times a week to relieve pressure and tightness in my chest. This thing is no joke. — PolitiTweet.org
