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

Protest numbers swelled up as crowds began marching towards the regime's Georgian Dream headquarters to stand firm against mass arrests and the Tsulukiani Commission report. (🎥 Nini Gabritchidze/Civil.ge) #GeorgiaProtests #3E
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
🇺🇸🇬🇪 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?

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.

In my latest article, I trace her remarkable political journey as a lens through which to explore the deeper story: the trajectory of Georgia’s post-independence politics, the mounting pressure on the opposition, and the hybrid war between Russia and the West for the country’s future.
Excited to share my latest article published in @meduza.io:
"There are no angels in politics — especially not in Georgia."
At the heart of Georgia’s volatile political crossroads stands a figure as complex as the nation itself — President Salome Zourabichvili.
As anti-government protests continue and Georgian Dream crushes dissent, could ex-president Salome Zourabichvili offer a political alternative Georgia? The Beet’s latest, courtesy of @gugachomakhidze.bsky.social! meduza.io/en/feature/2... @meduza.io

Grateful to the incredible teams at the Centre for the Study of Democracy and G4Media for making this conference possible.
Kremlin-affiliated actors exploit the Israel-Hamas conflict to undermine Georgia’s Euro-Atlantic aspirations, push pro-Russian narratives, and distort reality—all while Russia continues to occupy over 20% of Georgia’s territory.
From fabricated news and manipulated media to state-sponsored troll networks amplifying propaganda—every tool in the authoritarian playbook is in use. My research focuses on how
