I grieve the death of Aleksei Navalny, announced today. Do you?

I just posted a picture of Aleksei Navalny on my desktop atop a black background.

I never saw him as being on “our” side. He was a champion of the Russians—on their side. As for Putin’s side, he was clearly a great thorn in it.

I mourn the long-imprisoned Navalny’s death in Russia today as a loss to the world.
