Please share this list of reliable sources about the protests in Georgia, where the majority of the population fights the brutal oppression by the government of "Russian Dream" - a party that follows the Russian playbook and uses the Russian threat to maintain authoritarian power. #GeorgiaProtests

It’s been hard 24h for Georgians. Grave mistakes were made. Yesterday, Georgia lost a battle against Russian takeover - but the fight for freedom &democracy continues. If there’s one thing yst proved, it’s that resistance hasnt disappeared. They tried to bury us. They didn’t know we were seeds. 1/12
Former NATO Chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen: "The most efficient and least expensive way to guarantee the security of #Ukraine would be to grant Ukraine membership in NATO.We should never,ever discuss NATO membership with Putin.It's not his business. It’s a decision to be taken between Ukraine&NATO
BEHOLD, people! We have the first-ever GD-supportive gathering in the 11 months of protests! As you know, it’s crucial for regimes to rally the public for supportive gatherings to project dominance and power. Yet, the Georgian Dream has had none. 1/3

23 arrests and counting. Protests reignited after the sentencing of political prisoners. Georgian Dream once again seeks to sow fear ahead of the October 7 municipal elections
Since seizing control of the Georgian government last year, the Russian-backed regime in Tbilisi has now standardized all the brutalities that are innate to all Kremlin-backed Kleptocracies. Today, dozens of critics arrested.
🇺🇸🇬🇪 Oklahomans! In 2020, Sen Mullin warned that Georgia’s ruling party was tied to Russia, Iran, and hostile actors. Today, as a US Senator, he is blocking the bipartisan #MEGOBARIAct- thus protecting the very regime he once called a threat. What happened? 1/7
Medical bandages, medical alcohol, single-use sanitary masks, etc… These are the “evidence” of an “attempted foreign-directed violent coup” that the regime says was “funded” by the 7 NGOs whose assets have been frozen. TV Imedi propaganda material…
Few callings demand as much courage, resilience and patriotism as journalism in 🇬🇪 Facing relentless political and financial pressure, they continue to confront tyranny and corruption I invite you to stand with them and support their fundraiser “Every voice counts. And every silence too.” — Sartre

🇬🇪Georgia is undergoing a political transformation - but not towards the future we all want. The extremist ruling party, Georgian Dream, has evolved into a demagogic, anti-Western machine, deploying propaganda and laws that echo the darkest chapters of the 20th century. 1/17

🇬🇪Munich ’25 was a wake-up call. The US is no longer a reliable partner for Europe. Hegseth betrayed Ukraine🇺🇦, suggesting it should cede land and drop NATO VP Vance declared that Russia isn’t Europe’s main threat. 🧵Europe must act. And Georgia is the battlefield where we start
Reading out letters from prison. More than 50 protesters were arrested during spring and December protests facing criminal charges, some up to 9 years.
#Tbilisi: On the 80th day of nonstop, nationwide protests, a sea of people has filled Tbilisi’s streets demanding change, justice, new elections, and the release of all regime prisoners. Despite the regime’s aggressive attempts to intimidate and repress protesters—
Without exaggeration, the outcome of the ongoing political struggle will indeed shape the country’s trajectory for years. The two opposing sides (🇷🇺 government-aligned autocrats vs. 🇪🇺 pro-democracy forces) can only persist at the expense of the other. Well put by Mariam

104 years ago, Soviet 🇷🇺 invaded Georgia, igniting one of the bloodiest chapters of 20th c. 🇬🇪 history. After staging a “people’s uprising” from Armenia, they launched a four-front assault to “support the workers’ struggle.” Stalin vowed to “crush the hydra of nationalism,” killing tens of thousands

🇬🇪 police units swarmed peaceful protesters, launching an unprovoked crackdown. Officers isolated demonstrators, brutally dragging them away in waves—beating them before shoving them in vans. Among those arrested are opposition leaders Nika Melia, Gigi Ugulava and over a dozen more.
