Probably dead already.

9. Maybe known as a 'ski mask' to you

(though I'd have guessed Canadians knew the British usage). A knitted face mask, as apparently used by British soldiers in the Crimean War in the siege of Balaclava.

3. Lyubov Sobol is trying to get elected to the Moscow City Duma - detained by Putin goons...now:

It's nearly 9 pm in Moscow and Lyubov Sobol,
detained before the protest this morning, has
arrived in court for a "trial".

5. I was just reading about her arrest

They got to her before she could even get to the car to head to the protest. Apparently she's 3 weeks into a hunger strike. Now they've locked up all the opposition candidates. And they've launched a money laundering investigation into Navalny.

10. Yes, E - every one of these protestors and activists are risking death for their desire for free and

fair elections

OH

7. "Chopping fingers is fun! I highly recommend!"

8. I'd bet a days pay Trump thinks that's a swell idea.

I have no doubt whatsoever Trumpy would just LOVE to be able to order such a thing.
