Thanks
After five years apart, former political prisoner Pavel Belavus is finally reunited with his wife and children ❤️
Pavel was sentenced in Belarus to 13 years in prison in 2021 for promoting Belarusian identity.
He was released in September thanks to @johnpcoale’s diplomacy 🙏

Gee, who got Kirill out.
Kirill Nguyen brought @ladygaga fans together through @gagadaily. Then he disappeared. The Belarus regime had jailed him for joining the 2020 protests.
Kirill is now free. But many remain behind bars. We must not stop until they are free too.

The Washington Post published a one-sided profile of Natalie Harp this morning that dwells on painful, intimate details of a private family tragedy from six years ago.
Natalie is a loyal White House staffer who does not do interviews or seek media attention. The piece implies loyalty to President Trump is family turmoil. That framing is baseless.
This line is particularly abhorrent. Imagine seeking White House comment on the tragic death of a staffer’s father years earlier, unrelated to her current employment.
I’ve never seen a comparable profile of a Democrat staffer. This is gross and fails basic human decency. Intimate family matters shouldn’t be platformed, especially when sourced solely from one side.
The Legacy Media is broken beyond repair if this is what they resort to for clicks and sales.

Thanks to Poland .
Today, together with @AdamHalacinski, we met 10 former political prisoners released on September 16, who were deported from Belarus and who will be legalizing their stay in Poland.
I thank @johnpcoale for making it possible for these people to be free. I am grateful to @PolandMFA aniczna for making their transfer to Poland possible, as well as enabling the process of their legalization.

You go study how grateful released prisoners are!
@2amaneceres @russiaistrash @johnpcoale Nothing democratic about appeasing a dictator. Go study history before you make us all repeat it.

Would you like to be put in touch with one of the 700 prisoners that are free now to see how they feel.
@russiaistrash @2amaneceres @johnpcoale Can't believe we're actually lifting sanctions on Belarus. Trump needs to go!

25 prisoners are free today! President Trump’s commitment to direct diplomacy delivers results. Thank you, President Lukashenka, for this step, and thank you to our friends in Lithuania for their support. We will continue to improve US-Belarus relations and are working to secure ple in the very near future. We are not finished!

That’s pretty harsh.
@johnpcoale But u didn't 'freed' them. Your dear friend lukashenka freed political prisoners.
You're just a random guy from usa, that cancelled some sanctions you had no involvement to having it.

Actually the number freed is over 700. BTW, how many have you freed?
@johnpcoale @nytimes Dear Mr. Coale! You free 100 people, but tomorrow they'll jail 200. The repression must stop! And the political exiles must be brought home.

Interesting fact about Trump’s Big Tech lawsuits that many people don’t know.
In 2021, after Donald Trump was removed from Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, attorney John Coale says he met with Senator Lindsey Graham to discuss a legal response. According to Coale, Graham later told him, “I have a client for you — Donald J. Trump.”
Trump then filed lawsuits against:
• Meta (Facebook & Instagram)
• Twitter (now X)
• Google (YouTube)
At the time, many legal analysts predicted the lawsuits would fail because the companies are private businesses and generally have First Amendment rights to moderate content.
However, years later, all three companies ultimately reached settlements:
Meta: about $25 million
X: about $10 million
YouTube/Google: about $24.5 million
That’s nearly $60 million in total settlements. (Politico)
Another interesting fact: John Coale has said the legal objective was not only financial compensation but also to change how Big Tech treated political speech. After the settlements, Coale publicly stated, “We believe we changed the behaviour.” (Al Jazeera)
Whether one agrees with the lawsuits or not, they became one of the most significant legal and political confrontations between a U.S. president and major technology companies, ending in negotiated settlements rather than courtroom verdicts. P.S we are super lucky that such person and such brains work for the USA-Belarus cause! 💎👌🏻🇺🇸

In 2021, censorship on social media platforms, lawfare, and impeachments were attacking former President Donald Trump. I met with my friend @LindseyGrahamSC to get his advice on an idea I had to help the former President. Through several conversations, we both agreed that filing a lawsuit against Big Tech would be a good start to reverse the incomings on former President Trump.
A short time later, Lindsey called me to his office and told me, “John, I have a client for you,” and I replied, “Who?” He exclaimed, “Donald J. Trump!” With Lindsey’s advice and inspiration, my team and I finally got @POTUS tens of millions of dollars in compensation.
Lindsey, you will be truly missed. Thank you for always fighting for your beliefs and for the American people.

McDonald’s has Happy Meals—but I can tell them how they can bring happy customers back! It’s a pretty simple recipe. Forget all the consultants and GO BACK to the things you used to do. Dump the kiosk-only ordering and have real people behind the registers welcoming customers with a smile and taking orders. A kiosk is cold—the customer becomes just a number. I don’t want to be a number, I want to be a person!
Go back to focusing on fresh, hot hamburgers with melted cheese that make customers want to come back again and again.
Go back to FRIED apple pies—permanently, not just for a limited-time promotion. We love them. And tell the world the best-kept secret that the fried pies are actually lower in fat, saturated fat, and calories than your baked apple pies! Who knew?!
That’s it @McDonalds—advice from a hopeful, lifelong customer.

Agree
28 political prisoners have been announced for the early release under the national pardoning procedure -- another positive step by the Belarusian authorities. Once again, the assumption of impossible is pushed and the space of possible is expanded.
We continue working to release all political prisoners and to end criminal persecution for political motives in Belarus. It is crucial for the expedited progress in this work that the US diplomatic effort firmly and tenaciously led by Special Envoy @johnpcoale and DAS @ChrisWelbySmith in cooperation with Minsk is supported by the European nations.
