Glad to see that you're applying the screws to the illegally elected government Boston Athletics Association.

I happen to agree the BAA is a tyrannical organization. They deemed my qualifying times to be insufficient back in the day. I felt duly oppressed.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...anyone know if Navalny is still in prison. Maybe when that little matter is resolved we can turn our concerns to Belorussian and Russian marathoners being oppressed. Or we can show concern for both!! What a concept that would be. Although imo one is more important. Much more important. But I don't want to judge the priorities of others!

I agree!
The erosion of freedom in the freest country in the world which sets the mood for the rest of the world is far more important than a tyrannical state continuing to be tyrannical.

that's why i highly encourage you and sturg to continue calling out oppression AND tyranny of the sort being carried out by the Boston Athletics Association
i actually agree it is wrong of them to institute a blanket ban on runners from Belarus and Russia. These are private individuals. Unless there is reason to believe any of them are engaged in activities supportive of Putin and his war, they should not be sanctioned in this way. Sanctions of that sort should be reserved for Putin and those who enable and support him.

I'm not overly concerned with tyrannical states across the globe from me that have been subject to wild philosophical shifts in the last 100+ years.
I'm very concerned with the drastic shift in freedoms in my home country. The greatest country the world has ever seen.
You should get YOUR priorities straight.

Vadim Kolodiy, a 19-year-old gunner from the 136th Reconnaissance Battalion based in Naro-Fominsk outside Moscow, died after he was attacked and trapped in his armored personnel carrier, the Russian military told his mother, Tatyana, last month, but she never received his body.
“I am hysterical. Vadim didn’t even have a chance to escape. He burned inside,” she wrote on social media. “The first week was like darkness. Pain, tears. I could not sleep or eat.” She said she felt anger at men in their 30s and 40s out drinking beer, while “children” in their late teens and early 20s were dead.
A few weeks after Kolodiy’s reported death, charred remains thought to be his were analyzed in a laboratory in Rostov, but the DNA did not match.
“No one is looking for these children,” Tatyana said. “No one cares about them. How many of these children, husbands, are there? How much pain had this all brought?”

I have an 18 year old son. It is sad reading this.

Nikita Deryabin’s widow, Anya Deryabina, buried her husband last month, but still does not have a feeling of closure. Deryabin, 25, of Chelyabinsk had adored his wife and three young children. A sniper who loved the military, he was sent on a “training exercise,” only to be killed in battle March 8.
“I still can’t realize or believe that this is true,” Deryabina said in written answers to questions because she said she could not speak without crying. At night, she dreams of him, feeling he is still with her. “Every day I talk to him. Every day I ask him what for and why.
“My brain refuses to accept the information that Nikitka is dead,” she said, using a diminutive nickname. “I am still waiting for him to call, to come back.”

Ukraine has about 7,000 unclaimed Russian corpses in morgues and refrigerated rail cars, according to Oleksiy Arestovych, adviser to the head of Ukraine’s presidential administration. He said his government’s figure of 18,600 Russian dead was based on Ukrainian reports from the battlefield and intercepted Russian military communications.
Ukraine tried to return the bodies of 3,000 Russian service members on the third day of the war, he said. “They said, ‘We don’t believe in such quantities. We don’t have this number. We’re not ready to accept them.’ ” Ukraine proposed an exchange several times, he said, but “they won’t discuss this at all yet.”
So Ukraine’s Ministry of Internal Affairs set up a website and Telegram channel where Russians can search photos of the dead and prisoners of war, or fill out an online form seeking information about family members.

Yevheni Velichko, the 32-year-old mayor of Voznesensk, a southern Ukrainian town, asked residents to collect Russian corpses after a two-day battle “so that we can send these guys back to their mothers and wives.”
“Russian or not Russian, we treated the bodies with dignity,” he said, adding that they were sent to Kyiv.
In nearby Bashtanka village, Mayor Oleksandr Beregovyi said dead Russians were buried in mass graves after their documents were collected.

1. No
2. Congress can act or not act. Sometimes not acting reflects the fact that the Congress is comfortable with policy that is in place. Not rocket science.
but you really need to grow out of the habit of calling everything you don't like oppression AND tyranny
