God bless the USA - the country that has become my second home. It opened its doors to me and my family, granted us political asylum, and is now fighting to save my homeland and my people. I don’t think I will ever be able to repay this kindness.

URGENT: Tv Pirveli (not the national broadcast) journalist Maka Chikhladze and her cameraman beaten DURING A LIVE by the government-associated Titushky. Please, people, we need your help. Raise your voice, spread the info and DO IT NOW. #GeorgiaProtests
We addressed the Consulate of🇬🇪in NYC, requesting a meeting w/Maka Bartaia,🇬🇪’s Consul General in NYC. The reason is clear: She either denounces the Kremlin-fueled deeds of GD or resigns. After tagging her on FB post and notifying her, she deactivated her page. Telling move.
"Family circumstances" doesn't give specifics, but given the context & public post/caption of this statement, it's highly likely that Head of Operational Planning, Special Tasks Dept., Police Col. Irakli Shaishmelashvili resigned his post due to ongoing events. #GeorgiaProtests
I thought about apologizing for posting this, but I mean,it’s Tamar Janelidze, PR of the ruling party “Georgian Dream” who’s obliged to do it.Curious about the title of her photo? “The Gvaramias.” That’s her comment after the opposition leader Nika Gvaramia was knocked unconscious and then arrested.
Activist humor: Police was just about to enter Nancy Woland’s apartment for a raid (founder of *Daitove*) and her mom, chilling on the couch during a LIVE: “I managed to tidy up the house for you, dear.” Even in the face of state oppression, moms gonna mom. #GeorgiaProtests
Oh, what a remarkable woman you are! What a brave soul you have! ✊🏼🇬🇪 #GeorgiaProtests #TbilisiProtests

BREAKING: The Ambassador of Georgia to the United States, Davit Zalkaliani, has resigned from his position.
I have no words. For the first time in my life, I feel hatred. My heart, which for 27 years has never known even an ounce of hatred, is now full of it. I hate every one of you who is doing this. I hate all supporters of Georgian Dream and this hell. You are murderers—nothing less

@FormulaGe Journalist, Guram Rogava was severely beaten by Special Ops. You can see the officer fleeing from the site after he realized what he’d done. #GeorgiaProtests #TbilisiProtests
During a live broadcast, journalist Giorgi Kvizhinadze was exposed to tear gas, while well-prepared activists rinsed his eyes with saline to help alleviate the pain.✊🏼 #GeorgiaProtests #TbilisiProtests
“I was beaten, detained, held in custody and they took my cameras. I’ve got a broken nose, I’ll find out about the head injury once they examine me. Others were in worse condition than me, but they beat me pretty hard too," says Aleksandre Keshelashvili, @publikage.bsky.social journalist.
Police&Robocops removed citizens from the yard of Kashueti Church and locked the gates. The doors of Kashueti Church were also closed on other rallies, when people were in need of shelter. Just letting you know - this clergy and God have nothing in common.
Special forces equipped with what seemed to be rubber bullet guns were observed on Rustaveli Avenue. #GeorgiaProtests #TbilisiProtests
My people sing the National Anthem of Georgia while the robocops are dispersing them with water cannons. This is my homeland.❤️
The authorities in Georgia resorted to water cannons and pepper spray to suppress peaceful demonstrators. This is a clear illustration of the “Georgian Dream”, opposing to citizens who seek a future aligned with the West instead of succumbing to Russian influence.
President of Georgia @Zourabichvili_S VS. Pro-russian Robocops. SLAY.
"You are Georgian, therefore, you're European and nobody can take that away from you!" - @landsbergis.bsky.social thank you❤️
