How tragic is this.

Russians try to act like they’re not Russians.

Terror.

Georgian Dream attacks the EU, says that Donald Trump may be defeated by the “deep state” in his administration, and attacks Israel too. But it is friends with Russia and Iran. This is what we are now.

I hope that META will also ban them from running ads and boosting posts.

Georgian Dream is depriving the Georgian people of everything, literally. This is not an exaggeration.

Georgian Dream is destroying the country.

Georgian Dream supports Iranian regime. It was clear from the beginning 🤦‍♀️

I asked Kaja Kallas about the possible sanctioning of the Kulevi terminal. She neither confirmed nor denied it, but for me, that is more of a confirmation.

Yet another reason to hate Georgian Dream.

Just one more reason I love them so much. moldova.europalibera.org/a/georgia-pe...

One of the people who was fined but didn’t know about it is Mindia Gabadze, a reporter for Publika. He was fined while working. His bank accounts are not frozen yet. #TerrorinGeorgia

Today, a GD politician attacked Sweden as part of anti-Western propaganda, claiming that life there is terrible. In response, the Swedish flag appeared at today’s rally as a symbol of trust and gratitude for Sweden’s decades-long support of Georgia. #GeorgiaProtests Day 432

Russia does not want peace with Europe, says Danish prime minister – Europe live

There's a predictable approach to denial that we're already seeing, which I call the Four Pillars of Disordered Doubt, which allows actors to constantly question evidence that don't fit their preferred narratives.

Okay, so this is an authoritarian playbook trick, once the evidence is overwhelming say everyone needs to wait for the official investigation then either fix it or attack it when its completed. Same shit Russian pulled with MH17 and chemical attacks in Syria, very predictable.

On 27 January 1921, Georgia received its first de jure recognition - The Supreme Council of the Allied Powers that had won the First World War, at that time consisting of 🇬🇧 Great Britain, 🇫🇷 France, and 🇮🇹 Italy, recognized the Democratic Republic of Georgia de jure. 📷 Soviet Past Research Laboratory

This is the official “evidence,” according to Georgian Dream, that protesters created an obstacle for other pedestrians on the sidewalk, and as a result, three people were imprisoned for four and five days. #GeorgiaProtests #TerrorinGeorgia

Georgia continues to protest. #GeorgiaProtests Day 423

GD is a Russian government. Proven many times.

1/ The European Commission’s spokesperson, Markus Lammert, told me in response to a question that “the actions of Georgian authorities undermine these principles on which visa liberalization is based.” The question concerned the possibility of the EU imposing sanctions on members of Georgian Dream.

Anastasia talks a lot about bad conditions in prison, so GD locked her in a stricter facility.

The brother of detained journalist Mzia Amaghlobeli, Malkhaz Amaghlobeli, has been waiting near the prison for hours.

A rally in support of the Iranian people was held in front of the Iranian Embassy in Tbilisi, #Georgia. #FreeIran

GD at it's finest.

A young man fainted at the rally supporting Iran in Tbilisi, Georgia. A few minutes earlier, he had learned that a family member was killed during the protests in Iran. #FreeIran 📸 @mindiagabadze.bsky.social / Publika

🚨 Fox News reports that the U.S. is set to pause immigrant visas for 75 countries: Georgia, Russia, Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt, Nigeria, Yemen, and others, from Jan 21, while the State Dept re-evaluates screening. Indefinite timeline.

Today is Georgian Flag Day 🇬🇪

Irakli Gharibashvili was sentenced to 5 years in prison and fined 1 million GEL, and was arrested in the courtroom. Gharibashvili served twice as Prime Minister of Georgia, was also Minister of Defense, and for years was a close confidant of Bidzina Ivanishvili.

There was a post saying that, according to the latest information, around 2,000 Iranian protesters have been killed. In the comments, GD troll accounts wrote that Georgian protesters deserve the same.

Troll accounts affiliated with GD are posting about Iran in Facebook comments, arguing that when protests become ‘destructive,’ the gov't is right to suppress them. They call Iranian protesters ‘Akatsuki,’ just as GD calls Georgian protesters. Therefore, GD is siding with the current Iranian regime.

It’s been a year since Mzia was arrested. I worked through the night. Everything that happened that night was crazy. I never imagined it would last this long though.

Another image that sums up the protest.

🇮🇷 Protest in Tehran, Iran.

Excited to share that I will be based in Brussels for the next three months, covering EU affairs for publika.ge. Looking forward to reporting on the latest developments and connecting with colleagues and experts. Georgia is Europe!

It’s freezing cold, and it’s snowing in Tbilisi. But protesters are still on Rustaveli on January 1st, some of them singing Georgian folk songs. #GeorgiaProtests Day 4000

Please give a thought to people whose New Year’s Eve was spent in bomb shelters because a criminal invader was trying to destroy their energy infrastructure.

Happy New Year! In Georgia, we all want a normal life. Hopefully, we will achieve that, but until then, we protest.

We have some good news today.

It will likely be very difficult for Tamara to leave Akhalgori and Tskhinvali, but for now, her freedom is the most important thing.

This is what Russia is - disgusting.

What has been happening in Georgia in recent weeks – read the main events here 👇 open.substack.com/pub/statesof...

This is a very clear case of political persecution. This is happening just for propaganda, and it is terrible. The Georgian people demand a free and fair court and justice system FOR EVERYONE!

Former boxer Giorgi Kandelaki, who was arrested on September 17 along with 6 other individuals for counterfeiting alcoholic beverages, was released today on bail of 200K GEL. Under GD, Georgia is a country where criminals are free, while innocent people are imprisoned for years.

In Sept 2021, someone leaked the “SSG files”, thousands of recordings revealing total surveillance of clergy, down to trivial conversations and private lives. I appeared twice, simply for calling bishops as a journalist. The SSG chief at the time was Grigol Liluashvili, now arrested for bribery.

He was once a powerful man. Now he has been arrested by the regime, much like during the era of Stalin.

If nobody hates this man, it means I am dead.

"All judges and all citizens should know: If even one person raises their voice, this city is not dead". Vladimer Khuchua - one of the few judges in Georgia who is conscientious.
