There is so much support for Evan at his alma mater, @BowdoinCollege. He was again everywhere at the class of 2013 10-year reunion (he is class of 2014). @_tessakramer @biettetimmons @lindakinstler #IStandwithEvan

Mainers should make note of what's happening in Nova Scotia. The fires there are more than 100 miles away, with most of that distance being open ocean, but their conditions haven't been too different from what we could face here (i.e., we need the rain) bangordailynews.com/2023/05/…

Our Wall Street Journal friend and colleague @EvanGershkovich has been detained by Russia for five weeks. On World Press Freedom Day, we continue to call for his release #IStandWithEvan #JournalismIsNotACrime

I can't think of anything more fitting on #WorldPressFreedomDay than advocating for my WSJ colleague Evan Gershkovich, who has been wrongfully detained. We stand with Evan today and every day. Let him come home. #IStandWIthEvan #JournalismIsNotACrime #FreeEvan

Waking up to news that my old friend & colleague @evangershkovich has been detained. We went to college together, I edited him at the school paper & have had the occasional privilege of editing him since. Just sick with horror at this news. nytimes.com/2023/03/30/world…

This is horrific. Putin has abducted and arrested
WSJ journalist Evan Gershkovich for merely telling the truth about how Russia's economy is imploding - as my team has been tracking for months now. He must be freed immediately.
