Surreal and maddening to see our friend in a glass cage in a Moscow courtroom. An innocent man—decent, kind, and honest—arrested for doing his job. Every day he spends in jail is an outrage. twitter.com/PjotrSauer/sta…

NEW: I spent dozens of hours with drivers in Los Angeles who deliver food from high-end restaurants.

I last saw Evan in January when he brought salmon roe, Russian New Year's-style, to my apartment.

I've been thinking about his commitment to telling Russia's story — and how the outpouring of support for him from Russian journalists has affirmed it. nytimes.com/2023/04/04/wor…

'TRUMP INDICTED'
-- Friday's NYT front page

NYT's statement on Russia's deeply troubling detention of WSJ's Evan Gershkovich.
'We urge his immediate release. As we have seen too often, the arrest of journalists anywhere in the world deprives the public of news that is essential to all of us.'
