Holy cow. This is University of Wisconsin, Madison, where hundreds of young people are marching to polls with Yung Gravy, a hugely popular rapper among young people. This is huge. Gen Z are alright & turning out like never before. Amazing.

Hard not to tear up listening to this today. Hits especially hard in Russian.
Alexey Navalny, telling Russians not to give up when asked what he would tell them in the event he’s killed. From Daniel Roher’s 2022 film “Navalny.”
