We live in an insane reality: well-known TV host Vakho Sanaia has been sentenced to 14 days in prison over a Facebook post in which he jokingly urged people to stop insulting Georgian Dream leaders after the ruling party criminalized insulting posts.

I rarely tweet these days. When things feel this hopeless, I don't know what to say. I don't want my posts to sound like "they beat us again, oh well," and I hate complaining, so most days I stay quiet.
But l'll say this: you have no idea how hard it is to be a journalist, activist, politician, or just a regular citizen in today's Georgia. If you're not with GD, you're under them in every sense of the word.
