If this person sat next to you on a bus or train and started ranting about Bruce Springsteen in this way, you would get up and move to a different seat.

Not seen much about Turkey here.

There’s a trajectory from democracy, to executive overreach, to distorting election rules, hobbling the judiciary, intimidating then controlling the media, arresting political opponents, dictatorship.

My Co-founder Josh Weinsch took this photo of his little daughter’s bike, which was in their driveway when they evacuated. Their neighborhood was vaporized.

Be. Like. Finland.
