🇺🇸✊ Reporter who asked Putin to stop killing civilians in Ukraine: Rachel Scott, senior political correspondent at ABC News

The EU says that everything the Georgian Dream claims, from the EU dragging us into war with Russia to them impregnating Georgian men, is a lie. www.eeas.europa.eu/eeas/georgia...

This is an open letter to Senators Markwayne Mullin, Mike Lee, and Rand Paul.

Today was an important day for Georgia; here's why:

I want to undertake a project, #UnderstandingGeorgia, that will dive into the details of Georgia's problems. I want to touch on everything, from history to demographics, to economy, to emigration and immigration patterns, to anything else that might be relevant.

For all those who share the sentiment of "Georgia should do the Maidan" Excuse me, but we did fight a war against the Russians in 1921. We begged the League of Nations, the British, French, and Italians to help us. Did they do anything?

For contrast: Photo N1: Georgians, with the Megobari Act, demanding protection from Ivanishvili’s authoritarianism from their ally 🇺🇸 Photo N2: Ivanishvili’s PM Kobakhidze standing next to Hamas’ leader at the inauguration of Iran’s new president, where chants of “Death to America” were heard.

Georgian lieutenant colonel Vano Nadiradze, who fought and defended Ukraine from the very first day, has passed away. Nadiradze was an exemplary patriot of Georgia and a steadfast opponent of the Russian imperialist regime. Rest in peace, hero.

Two protesters got injured after a car intentionally run into them during today’s protest. The car didn’t stopped for the police either and gone away.

The regime decided to file lawsuits against people who are using swear words against them on the internet. Here you can express how you feel about this. 👇🏻

I pulled an all-nighter yesterday; woke up to Minister of Internal Affairs, Khareba and one other guy being replaced by the regime. I have no idea what it implies so far, but my take is — they will try to replace everyone who’s sanctioned and attempt on legitimizing.

“It seems European leaders grew eager to communicate with Georgia… Initiatives usually came from European leaders.” — Regime primer minister Irayle Kobakhidze @EmmanuelMacron your handshake is being paraded by pro-Russian Georgian Nightmare party as a huge victory.

Just yesterday, a friend and I discussed intelligence agencies in various countries. I remember specifically saying 'russians are very good at 'active measures'; just think about their disinformation campaigns and troll/bot networks'. Now, I want to travel back in time and withdraw this statement.

Irakli Kobakhidze addressed President Trump with a (very) long open letter in which he shares his concerns about U.S. sanctions against GD officials and writes: “It seems like, [your] statements about the defeat of the "Deep State" are merely an attempt at its rebranding and nothing more.”

This morning, regime PM Kobakhidze published an open letter of utter desperation to President Trump and VP Vance. It’s full of lies, but I’ll distinguish two points: 1. He says that by 🇬🇪 participation in Iraq and Afghanistan, 🇬🇪 saved the US more money than the US has contributed to Georgia 1/

History has been made for Georgia - the US House of Representatives has passed the MEGOBARI Act. Congressman Joe Wilson will be held by the history of Georgia in the highest regard! It isn't usual when one man can stand up to be such a heroic figure for a friendly nation.

​GREAT NEWS!!! The MEGOBARI ACT, introduced by @RepJoeWilson and @RepCohen early this year, is now making its way to the House floor to be considered for final House vote next week The legislation calls for sanctions against those undermining Georgia's democracy

Story time: The only time I was NOT wearing a face cover during the #GeorgiaProtests was Feb 24. I was one of the people carrying the huge Ukrainian flag 🇺🇦 so I felt it was appropriate to put a face on my support of Ukraine As a long time protester, this is the first time ever that I’ve been fined

🇬🇪Exit polls confirmed Georgia’s opposition—Coalition for Change, UNM, Strong Georgia, and For Georgia—won decisively in the Oct '24 elections. Yet overnight, the Central Election Commission declared Georgian Dream (GD) victorious with 53%. Observers denounce this as blatant fraud.

Day 138. New, free & fair Parliamentary elections, and the release of the regime prisoners. We cannot stop in our national freedom struggle. Help us avoid costs by targeted sanctions, no handshakes with the regims, and calls for new elections. #GeorgiaProtests 📷 Giorgi Burjanadze

Rustaveli Avenue now!

Ivanishvili's Militsya detained this woman for holding a poster: Antsukhelidze is immortal!!! Antsukhelidze is a Georgian National Hero who was tortured and murdered by ruzzians during 2008 war. The GD claims Georgian side started the war, confirming Ruzzian disinformation.

🇬🇪 As Georgian people fight for their freedom & European future, the government moves closer to authoritarianism. Our newest briefing note reveals torture of protesters was systematic, not isolated — involving several state institutions. 🔗 Read the blog:

"For nearly 3 months, the people of Georgia have been protesting in favour of a future in the EU & against the course of the Georgian leadership. They continue to face intimidation, arrests & violence" - stated in a statement released by the German Foreign Ministry.

🇬🇪Georgia is quietly undergoing a dramatic geopolitical shift. Under Georgian Dream and its informal leader Bidzina Ivanishvili, the country is accelerating its alignment with Iran (and China and Russia)—abandoning its Western orientation. 🧵A thread on why this matters. 1/16

1/ More than 100 organizations have issued a joint statement regarding the "Georgian translation of the U.S. Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA)" initiated by Georgian Dream.

The so-called Supreme Court of the Russian-occupied Donetsk region has sentenced Georgian fighter in Ukraine, Nadim Khmaladze, in absentia to 14 years in prison in a strict regime colony.

A giant United States flag was displayed and U.S., Georgian national anthems were played as MEGOBARI Act march reached parliament. Day 115 of #GeorgiaProtests 🎥 Nini Gabritchidze/Civil.ge

🇬🇪We know Georgian Dream is steering Georgia toward Russia. But there’s another shift unfolding—one that gets far less attention. 🧵This thread explains how GD is deepening its ties with China, aligning Georgia with a growing authoritarian bloc and turning away from the West 1/21

That is true, the Georgian Dream reorientates Georgia towards China and other non-Western actors. And delayng sanctions for months ensures that the regime has enough time to diminish the effect of sanctions and Western isolation.

If anyone still doubts who really runs Georgia—and for whose benefit—this article lays it bare. Ivanishvili’s village may live well, but the rest of the country pays the price. Georgian democracy is held hostage by an oligarch with a Russian playbook. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Day 111. We will prevail, and you can help us avoid whatever costs can be avoided by imposing sanctions on the dictatorship clan and calling for new, free and fair Parliamentary elections. #GeorgiaProtests

Georgian women! ❤️✊🔥🔥🔥 #InternationalWomensDay 🇬🇪🇪🇺 #GeorgiaProtests 📸 @sakartveloa.bsky.social

Shout out to the Georgian people who are, for the 100th day in a row, turning out to oppose a Russian-backed coup. georgiatoday.ge/100th-day-of...

There will be war in Europe, continuous or periodic, as long as Russia is able to wage wars. Anyone discarding this truth is either naive or an enabler. The only solution is to not leave any grey security zones around Russia.

The human rights situation in Georgia is alarming. 🚨🇬🇪 Today marks 94 days of pro-democracy protests against government repression. The UN is offering grants for local NGOs. If you know one, share this so they don’t miss out! ⚖️💙 #HumanRights #Georgia #Democracy 🔗 www.undp.org/georgia/news...
