Yuck. Bot accounts are spreading a clearly AI-generated “audio recording” of Navalny’s mother trash-talking Alexey’s widow, Yulia. This is how low Navalny’s adversaries will stoop in the aftermath of his murder in the Russian prison system.Yuck.

Can't make this up: education officials in Russia’s Ulyanovsk region have instructed local schools to use Tucker Carlson's Putin interview to teach critical thinking skills and media literacy. They say it will also cultivate greater optimism in Russia’s future. t.me/news_sirena/...

Founding Era historians weigh in on Trump's claim that presidents are absolutely immune from criminal prosecution in this new, wide-ranging Q&A. In short, the notion's laughable as a matter of history. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...@brennancenter.bsky.social@earlymodjustice.bsky.social

The newspaper Sobesednik reportedly lost about 300k rubles ($3,260) in sales revenue when Moscow authorities confiscated its latest edition with a cover page featuring Navalny. A serious blow given the lack of advertising revenue available these days. t.me/bloodysx/34026
