It’s been exactly 14 months. That’s 14 months of Evan not seeing his family and friends. It’s 14 months of him not bearing witness through his incredible journalism. It’s 14 months of his life in a tiny Moscow prison cell. It’s an absolute outrage. #IStandWithEvan

As many as a million immigrant children have arrived with their families or on their own at the US southern border since 2021. Educating them is a major challenge. wsj.com/us-news/education/th…

NEW: Recent protests shone a spotlight on campus activism. But they didn't represent the views of most students. With Gen Z poised to play a pivotal role in the 2024 election, what are college students really thinking about politics? 🧵

401 DAYS. The ongoing wrongful detention of @WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich in Russia should scare all of us. It's an attack on press freedom everywhere. I hope you'll join me in demanding his immediate release. #IStandWithEvan #FreeEvan #JournalismIsNotACrime

It's been 50 weeks that my friend and colleague Evan Gershkovich has been detained by Russia. The support from friends, colleagues and strangers keeps us going. Evan was on the cover of Time magazine. President Biden mentioned him in his State of the Union address. #FreeEvan

Every day Evan spends in that notorious Moscow prison is a travesty. Evan is a beloved son, brother, friend, football player and gifted journalist. He has been locked up for 315 days, simply for doing his job and should be freed immediately. #IStandWithEvan ⁦@WSJ⁩
