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 donβt 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 ofπ¬πͺin NYC, requesting a meeting w/Maka Bartaia,π¬πͺβs 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,itβs Tamar Janelidze, PR of the ruling party βGeorgian Dreamβ whoβs obliged to do it.Curious about the title of her photo? βThe Gvaramias.β Thatβs 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:
βI asked her to go outside so she wouldnβt see me smoking."
Every kid is the same as wellπ©
Activist humor:
Police was just about to enter Nancy Wolandβs apartment for a raid (founder of *Daitove*) and her mom, chilling on the couch during a LIVE:
βI managed to tidy up the house for you, dear.β
Even in the face of state oppression, moms gonna mom. #GeorgiaProtests
Oh, what a remarkable woman you are! What a brave soul you have! βπΌπ¬πͺ #GeorgiaProtests #TbilisiProtests
