50 days. That’s how long our friend and colleague Evan Gershkovich has spent in a Russian prison, unjustly detained. We call for his immediate release. #IStandWithEvan #JournalismIsNotACrime

Evan Gershkovich should be watching this belter of an Arsenal game but he’s wrongly stuck in a Russian jail for reporting for @WSJ. This banner is for him. #IStandWithEvan

It’s incredible to see the @Arsenal community come together and show their support for Evan during his time of need and call for his immediate release. Seeing his face at the Emirates will mean the world to him. #IStandWithEvan

Silicon Valley Bank blew up because of bonds. First Republic’s troubles are about its loan book. We found $242 bil­lion of un­re­al­ized losses on banks’ loan books that don’t count in equity. Banking regulators don’t collect or track this data. So we did. wsj.com/articles/declines-in…

It has been a week since Evan Gershkovich was arrested in Russia on bogus charges while doing his job as a reporter. #IStandWithEvan. He must be released now.
