NORAD Santa at it again - skipped Belarus for the 2nd year in a row! (And yes, he brings joy and toys to little girls and boys in other authoritarian regimes!)

I took my young daughters camping without my spouse, out of state, and in intermittently rainy conditions! I was very scared and almost bailed many times before the weekend came but ended up sticking with it. Very proud. Can’t wait to do it again.

While you’re watching the protests in #Tbilisi and the #GeorgianDream descent into Kremlin-tinged isolationism, I humbly offer the explainer that Arianne Swieca and I wrote about last month’s elections for @goodauth.bsky.social: goodauthority.org/news/georgia...

The Georgian Dream party won a majority in parliament.
Georgians are protesting the 2024 parliamentary elections – and democratic backsliding under the Georgian Dream party.

Read @alexislerner.bsky.social & Arianne Swieca's explainer on the Oct 26 #Georgia elections. It's not a pick-me-up if you like democracy: "Reports of ballot stuffing, assault, and intimidation against voters, vote buying, and other allegations of fraud..." goodauthority.org/news/georgia...

Anyone have an idea of why NORAD Santa skips out on Belarus? 🇧🇾
