To act to maintain your own dignity and the dignity of others is a core marker of a successful life.

This is amazing. We sure could do with this degree of attention to detail, to reality, and to innate dignity in a whole honking big suite of concerns.

Belarus has released a group of political prisoners.

Exiled Belarus opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya’s husband Siarhei is among the released. He was arrested in 2020 as the opposition presidential candidate. Afterwards his wife won the election, but the regime did not acknowledge this.

Belarus opposition leader Siarhei Tsikhanouski freed from jail, says wife

Tsikhanousk’s arrest and activism sparked unprecedented protests in Belarus, challenging Lukashenko’s decades-long rule.
