In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding.

When I told them it was because the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic.

Well...here we are.

When they tell you to sit peacefully if there’s an escalation, remember this video.
Tear gas sinks. You will be hurt worse. Leave if not safe for you. Emergency contact/legal aid written inside shirt not arm (privacy). Film and describe what you are seeing. Do not speak or consent to search.

This is SUCH an important article for pro-democracy 🇺🇸 to read. It chronicles how Georgia went from a flourishing baby democracy to authoritarian hell practically overnight.

THIS is what’s happening right here. I’ve posted a couple excerpts, but read the whole thing.
The lesson crystallized too late: "There is no small compromise with non-freedom. If you compromise that small thing, you definitely need to compromise the bigger thing tomorrow. , " Georgia's crisis reflects a global phenomenon that Robakidze calls the "spirit of non-freedom spreading." The mechanics are eerily familiar across continents. "A lot of people in the world were living many years thinking that freedom is granted and guaranteed, taking freedom for granted," she explains. "In Europe, in the US, in the West in general, they had this problem maybe even deeper than the Georgian society has." The warning signs are identical: • Small compromises that seem manageable • External funding creating dependency vulnerabilities • Strategic communication training weaponized against democracy • Media capture through economic pressure • Civil society taking freedom for granted. "Right now weather is the worst for beginner democracies," she warns. But the crisis is a "wake-up call for not just for us, for societies who want to be democratic and consolidated democracies one day, but for everyone." As Georgia's protests continue into their seventh month, the timeline offers a stark warning: democratic collapse can happen faster than anyone imagines. Eighteen months from EU candidate to authoritarian crackdown. "There is never a bad time to think about your mistakes, and we can never be uncomfortable discussing the elephant in the room, because this elephant will never go anywhere," Robakidze reflects. "And the only problem that this discussion creates is this uncomfortable feeling, which I think is very important—better experienced earlier than later."

Might I remind everyone that the reason Hitler eventually went to ovens and cyanide is it was too resource demanding and costly to shoot them.

Trump and Miller have no budget for 20+ million deportations.

Maybe the protests should be either at Mar-a-Lago or the White House; that way, they can't use Churches or schools as a safe haven for themselves to be protected.

ICE, Gestapo, Military, National Guard, and Local Police are using others as shields to stay alive.

When a petty man goes after his political enemy & dresses it up as a national crisis we are one step closer to Fascism.
The American flag with the caption: When a president sends troops into a state against its will, not to keep the peace but to provoke conflict, it crosses a constitutional line. It turns democracy into theater and uses the armed forces as props. That's authoritarianism.

🚨 We must not back down. Calls to stay home only concede ground. Ignore concern trolls!

Show up. Be loud. Be unignorable. I’m not calling for violence - but I will never call for silence. Defend yourself if needed, but do not instigate.

This is about presence, not provocation. Hold the line. #3E
