NORAD Santa at it again - skipped Belarus for the 2nd year in a row! (And yes, he brings joy and toys to little girls and boys in other authoritarian regimes!)

While you’re watching the protests in #Tbilisi and the #GeorgianDream descent into Kremlin-tinged isolationism, I humbly offer the explainer that Arianne Swieca and I wrote about last month’s elections for @goodauth.bsky.social: goodauthority.org/news/georgia...

Read @alexislerner.bsky.social & Arianne Swieca's explainer on the Oct 26 #Georgia elections. It's not a pick-me-up if you like democracy: "Reports of ballot stuffing, assault, and intimidation against voters, vote buying, and other allegations of fraud..." goodauthority.org/news/georgia...

Anyone have an idea of why NORAD Santa skips out on Belarus? 🇧🇾
