WHAT IS HAPPENING IN RUSSIA

My country lives in dictatorship, totalitarianism and poverty for at least 20 years. It is scary to talk or even think about it.
All TV, newspapers are controlled by government, who threatens everyone trying to go against them.

30 million people(20% of country) LIVE BELOW POVERTY LINE, meaning they earn less than 160USD a month.
We never had a choice to vote, our oppositon is SILENCED AND IMPRISONED.
Pluralism is non-existent and no other political views are tolerated. People are scared to speak up.
Our government tried to kill the leader of our opposition, Alexey Navalny, by poisoning. He was in coma and spent months on treatment in Germany.
Several days ago, he came back to Russia and was ILLIEGALLY arrested and put in prison. His lawyers were not allowed to be in.
We DEMAND freedom and justice for Navalny. He’s a prisoner of consciousness and was arrested just because he goes against thieves and corruption.
Our president is ONE OF THE RICHEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.
HIS NET WORTH IS ESTIMATED TO BE AROUND $200 BILLION (which makes him much richer than american billionaires like Bezos or Gates).
All of those money were gained by drowning our country in poverty.
Navalny's investigation revealed Putin's secret palace. Entirely built on OUR stolen money.
It is the most protected place in the country.
THE ESTIMATE COST OF HIS PALACE IS:
1 362 966 032 USD
IT MAKES IT THE MOST EXPENSIVE PRIVATE HOUSE IN THE FUCKING WORLD.
They suck all money and sources from our country. They drowned my country in POVERTY and made it a third world so that Putin and his friends can be one of the riched people on the planet.
I’m just 20, but I lived through 4 crisis and 3 inflations. It shouldn’t be like this.
✨Censorship✨
It is dangerous to question government and support Navalny.
Everyone was threatened to be kicked out of uni/jobs if they're going to be outside on protests. You can get in prison for just TALKING about protests or spreading info.
Even majority of unofficial opposition media&newspapers stopped posting news about Navalny and corruption because they were threatened. Dictatorship and censorship is limiting our sources of information and wants to shut us up :)
On January 23 Russians go out for protests. They demand freedom for Navalny and justice.

I'm scared to think what will happen and I send prayers to my people.
Please be careful.

Me, as all of my friends, grew up in unimaginable poverty. While my dad was a surgeon and my mom a medical technician, our income was around 80$ when I was a child. I remember my parents did not allow me to buy cereals because we couldn't afford it
And my weight was around 16kg/35 pounds when I started going to school(Imagine what is 16kg for a 7yo kid, I was a skeleton).

-I'm going to slap anyone who wants to tell me that Russia is a rich privilleged country, shut the fuck up-
When I was 13, my mom swore to herself she'd never let me stay in Russia and live there. No matter what it takes, she swore to give me a better life in a better place. I am privilleged to be able to escape and live in Germany and it gives me a privilege to speak up.
My family doesn't allow me to ever talk about politics or critisize corruption because they're scared. Everyone is scared.
Every Russian grows up in being silenced and being told to BE QUIET and fear the government's power. Not to ever question it or only discuss between family.

1/10 With respect, multiple straw men here:
A) If you mean by "legally questionable" either that Senate is barred by constitution from trying an official impeached while in office, or that there are even very strong arguments against it, I have to differ...


2/10 Constitutional structure, precedent & any fair reading of original intent dictate that argument for jurisdiction is far stronger than argument against. On original intent, see

3/10 If you mean argument against jurisdiction is plausible, sure, it's plausible. It's just weak. In practical fact, Senate can try Trump now, find him guilty & disqualify him from future office if there are sufficient votes. And no court would presume to overturn that result

4/10 b) The argument from resources is awfully hard to take seriously. Fewer than a dozen House members act as Managers for a few weeks. They are staffed, as are Senators hearing case, by folks whose job it is to do stuff like this...

5/10 Yes, Senate floor time will be taken up. But it's past time for us to stop thinking of members of either house as feeble, fluttering, occupants of a nationally-funded convalescent home. There are nearly 500 of these people with 1000s of staff and a bunch of big buildings...

Once upon a time there was a Raja named Uttānapāda born of Svayambhuva Manu,1st man on earth.He had 2 beautiful wives - Suniti & Suruchi & two sons were born of them Dhruva & Uttama respectively.
#talesofkrishna https://t.co/E85MTPkF9W


Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.
#KrishnaLeela


The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.


One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.


Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"
