My frustration led me to develop an idea for an opposition organization based on @timothysnyder.bsky.social idea for a “shadow cabinet”.

The IOC says it’s more important how one dies than whether one died at all. If you honor airline deaths, that’s OK, but if the deaths occur in a war, that’s not acceptable, according to the IOC. And, IOC allowed Russia to send 12 athletes to the games.

The administration can try to play the “we did what we came to do, and we’re leaving“ card in Minnesota, but nobody will believe them. It’s clear that their own brutal excesses plus the great courage and resistance of the people, plus a lot of video, forced their hand and made them look for the exit
