Keep the Georgian people in your thoughts tonight as they continue to fight for their democratic and European future.

This extremely sad to watch and to report on, I see the exact same scenes as last year, water cannons, pepper sprays, tear gas.

People are peaceful, see the hands erected symbolizing that, riot police is cracking them down regardless. They want to end the protest asap.

Riot police used water cannon as well as very strong pepper and tear gas (have never experienced this kind of before :)). People are moving to other place to continue protesting and then get back again to the parliament. Nobody’s gonna let take our freedom.

After the experience with Western Europe since February 2022 -- always too late, too little, not really interested in helping defend Ukraine --, Central Europe will probably double down on its security bonds with the US, in comparison far more reliable than Western Europe.

Folks, Donald Trump brags about overturning Roe v. Wade. He’s ready to ban abortion nationwide. And today, he said states should be able to punish women and monitor their bodies.

It’s outrageous. With your help, we can stop him: joe.link/ChipIn

The opposite of just about everything Johnson and his pals in the media told us would happen has now happened. Surely it’s time we talked about Brexit?

I am heartbroken to hear Ivanishvili’s vision for Georgia’s future. I am devastated by this sudden change in relations with countries, including Lithuania, which have been Georgia's closest allies. It feels like we are losing a friend.🧵

Tensions rise in Georgia.

Darkest days are ahead. Pray for us. Help us expose the Russian government for what they are internally.

Sanction these fuckers!!!!

Outrageous scenes from Tbilisi, Georgia. The riot police are beating people protesting the Russia-inspired foreign agents bill. Yesterday, Georgian oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili blatantly declared the West as a foreign enemy. #StandWithGeorgia #NoToRissianLaw

Please have your eyes on Tbilisi tonight, people have been fighting Russian foreign agents law on the street for over two weeks now.

Riot police again brutally disperses, beats peaceful protesters, civilians who have nothing to shield themselves with - without prior warning.

As Lucian Kim points out here, from Bush to Biden the West, with its inept and fumbling handling of Putin, shares some of the blame for the Russian dictator's aggression against Ukraine.

And if you don't vote, or vote for someone other than Biden, you're helping Trump.

This is not a drill. He’s pledging it loudly and proudly. If you’re still voting for Trump after all of this, be clear: you’re voting for fascism and the end of American democracy as we know it. That’s not hyperbole - that’s simply paying attention to his own promises and plans:

I remember Leave campaign promises (lies!) Brexit would make food footwear & medicines cheaper. I knew these guys as chancers & charlatans who just made it up as they knew they'd be unaccountable!
