This morning I thought about how my colleague Evan has been detained in solitary in Russia, for nothing -- as a geopolitical pawn, it seems -- and I teared up.

It absolutely kills me.

He represents the best of us -- inquisitive, smart, empathetic -- and they grabbed him on made-up charges. (They accused him of spying, basically.)

It's so heartbreaking.

I don't pray but if I did, it would be for Evan to come home as soon as possible.

 @ca5977db I’m very sorry he’s being used as a pawn in Vlad’s evil game. I hope he’s returned home safe and sound soon.
