What’s happening in Georgia at this very moment has no precedent, at least in Central and Eastern Europe.
All too many forget that what caused the Maidan was the fact that the authorities began outright killing people. 1/

Malta is the last EU country that still offers citizenship for sale, drawing ire from the European Commission, which has taken the country to the European Court of Justice in a bid to halt the scheme.
The court is expected to rule on Tuesday.

While Trump kisses putin's ass and destroys the democratic world order, and the Europeans meet for the 8,738th time after Easter to discuss the location of the 8,739th meeting, authoritarian regimes are becoming stronger and more united.

"Kennedy’s disgust with and devaluation of autistic people fits neatly into a eugenic logic that views health as virtue, and sees illness, or difference, as a kind of moral lapse which should be subject to punishment or censure."
RFK Jr. is wrong about autism
His lies endanger neurodivergent people — and everyone else.

The 1989 death of communism and revolutions of Central Europe was one of the single greatest moments in recent European history. Cope harder, commie.
I watched Yeltsin's drunk ass shell the Duma live on CNN. The fall of the USSR was a tragedy and Gorbachev was a fool. That said, the Wehrmacht had 2M KIA/MIA in the East and 500K in the West, and Hiroshima was timed to preclude the planned Soviet assault of Japan that August. You tell me

It’s extraordinary that so much media still reports on Trump with the old, redundant tools of the trade. He lied about Ukraine, then he tried to extort Ukraine, and having failed he threatens to walk away from Ukraine. The idea that he was ever going to do anything unwelcome to Putin is ridiculous.

These two guys met during the compulsory military service, vibed because they both liked to whistle moomin music, and now they’re organising moomin music concerts together.

Muumimusiikin konsertista tuli hitti – taustalla armeijassa tavannut kaksikko
Suursuosioon nousseen tapahtuman järjestäjinä on kaksi nuorta miestä, jotka ovat muumimusiikin faneja. Paikalle on houkuteltu myös säveltäjä, joka on vetäytynyt julkisuudesta.

When you force people to foreign incarceration for the rest of their life without due process... that's not deportation. That's human trafficking.
And it's not a prison. It's a concentration camp.

Georgian Dream plans to ban the opposition, which it brands as the "collective UNM," soon after the upcoming local elections slated for October. GD intends to use the final report of the one-party parliament's investigative commission to request the ban from the Constitutional Court.
