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.

A little later, Nancy sends her mom out (since only a few people are allowed to stay during the raid). Suddenly, Nancy says: “I asked her to go outside so she wouldn’t see me smoking." Every kid is the same as well😩

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

God knows. Either he is being offered something better, or he is finally ashamed. He hasn't officially confirmed it yet.

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

“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.

Dismissing the people risking their health and freedom to save their country instead of simply Googling "🇬🇪Parliamentary Elections 2024"(if proper research is beyond your time or skills),makes you an unprofessional journalist & an irresponsible publication at best.

6/🧵 She was told it was a misunderstanding, but here’s her FB post for the record-who knows what might brew in Ivanishvili’s mind next.

5/🧵 I never expected to find so much in common with the President of Georgia, Salome Zourabichvili. Life is full of surprises.

4/🧵 I have to share her friend's post: “MIA released a photo of Lizi Tirqia assaulting five police officers.” 😄

3/🧵 Later she commented that after her arrival, the police were confused and she spent about two hours there while they were figuring out how to respond. They probably didn’t account for her size - there’s no other explanation.😀

2/🧵 Tirkia [FB post]: "The Special Investigation Service called me, claiming I attacked 5 police officers at the protest, fled, and am now in hiding. In their language, I’m ‘on the run.’"
