Just to leave this here: literally the ENTIRE top news lineup of the GD propaganda channel Imedi TV is composed of gleeful posts about Musk/Trump's #USAID-bashing. Trump Makes America a Joke Again for the second-hand Russia-Iran-Chinese-boot-licking autocrats like Ivanishvili.

Tomorrow, thousands of Georgians going to protest would brave a 4 years prison sentence created under custom-made law specifically against this protest march. The arbitrariness of the police and kangaroo courts has been blatant before, but this is likely the point of no return.

An usurpation and three months of protests later, analytical articles still say "Georgia is at a crossroads." Must be a traffic jam.

I think #Georgia's current protests have common points with 1848 "springtime of the nations" in Europe. Those have failed as political revolutions but brought lasting cultural shift. Can Georgia succeed where they failed? Or at least succeed to achieve the same result? Read here.

Georgia's political crisis deepens as the rising middle class challenges an authoritarian regime. @JDevdariani argues Georgia's future depends on uniting groups and securing Western support before GD consolidates power or aligns further with autocracies.
