The disgraceful treatment of President Zelenskyy by Trump & Vance & their public berating of a leader fighting for his nation’s survival was not just disrespectful, it was a humiliating display of arrogance. He has shown incredible resilience & gratitude despite unimaginable challenges. 🇺🇦🇪🇺

So today was the 91st day of protests against the current Georgian regime. And here the protesters are. Singing. I have not words to describe how I feel about this country about which I know so little and admire so much. Thank you Qeto for sharing this.

Day 76. We demand new, free and fair elections, and the release of all political prisoners.
The rhythmic public chant get more intense. I think it was February 1 when “until the end” was incorporated, and now I heard “bring down the regime” for the first time. #GeorgiaProtests

Ridiculous. The only thing stopping EU's candidacy is "EU bureaucracy????" Spare me.
The art of selective journalism. The Euronews, agency co-funded by the EU, interviews Georgian Kobakhidze in Tbilisi while ignoring the massive protests outside and brutality of gvt. Not a single question about #GeorgiaProtests. Impressive commitment to looking the other way

Some examples of the vile sexual insults police hurled at women at yesterday’s protest:
🟥 “You need a broom up your a**”
🟥 “Look at this one, such a f***able thing”
🟥 “How big will you fit in there?”
🟥 “Get lost, you 100-lari wh”
They've been conditioned to hate us.

"Customs" my least favourite word in Georgia...
The word is first attested in a 10th century text by John of Bolnisi to refer to tax-collectors: მეზუერჱ იგი არს მებაჟჱ, ხოლო საზუერჱ იგი ადგილი არს, სადა-იგი ბაჟსა უღებედ "The tax-collector is [a kind] of duty-collector, but a customs-house is a place where you pay the duty"

Oh dear. The motorists have joined in.
Watch this: cars were honking in solidarity with the protesters when police surrounded one of them and started beating it. They’ve completely lost control at this point. #terrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests

Weird but happy-making to see the Georgian flag flying in my hometown of Melbourne.
When one community fights for freedom & democracy, others show up to support. 💪
Today in Melbourne, Georgian flag flew high in solidarity with Serbian students.✊

After weeks with this bloody virus, it was a joy to be out in the sunshine, shopping and generally behaving like a normal human, albeit a non-Georgian-speaking one:
1) My tiny vege shop's homemade Christmas decorations.
2) A tiny bakery with a genius name.
3) A shop that sells guns? WT?
