Congrats to El Tímpano for this top hire 🥂😍

Dugin famously charges for interviews. Last time I checked his wife (also his secretary) told me it was 500 euros for a half an hour Skype interview. I passed. I wonder how much Tucker paid or is it free for friends and family?

To have an idea of what is going on in Georgia, just read today's speech by their shadow ruler, Bidzina Ivanishvili: civil.ge/archives/602348. It's not pro-Russian: it's another toxic mix of nationalism and right-wing populism that has proved to work for so many wannabe dictators

What the Georgian ruling party is doing is the equivalent of Trump saying he can shoot anyone on the 5th Ave in broad daylight and still get elected. It’s this mind blowing impunity that’s now part of our digital era politics

I am SO thrilled for Anna-Cat Brigida & our team at Coda Story and so pleased that this hugely important story got the recognition it deserves!

Georgia’s u-turn away from the West that began when the Georgian Dream came to power seems to be near complete. Feels like being a passenger on a hijacked airplane.

#Tbilisi witnessed one of its biggest pro-EU rallies in protest of Russian law today. Government fails to uphold its constitutional obligation to bring the country closer to Euro-Atlantic integration, as official Brussels says this law puts EU bid at risk.

This is UNPRECEDENTED. I’ve been attending all protests in #Georgia . There are so many people that a march cannot move forward to the Parliament, it’s just standing. We caught city buses by surprise too and they are stuck.
#NoToRussianLaw 🇬🇪🇪🇺

Newly weds abandon their wedding party, join the protests in Tbilisi

WATCH THIS! “How can you attack us? Your friends are here, your family members are standing here. Are you out of your mind?” This protester says and raises her arms as riot police pushes at her. And I just happen to know this amazing brave woman. Kristo Talakhadze! Bravo 👏🏼💪

Georgia is a bellwether for all striving to break ties with autocratic Kremlin

😍🥂🍾a wedding night to remember

Tbilisi right now

This is us! 🇬🇪🇪🇺✊🏻 #NoToRussianLaw #Georgia

It’s easy to focus on the tedious side of Brussels and take European values for granted when you are on the inside. But change your angle and it’s a whole different story. Georgia is really the best advertisment for the power, the appeal and the promise of Europe.

I can tell you right now that Georgian Dream’s rule in Georgia is nearing its end. The number of people in Tbilisi’s centre today is simply staggering 🇬🇪🇪🇺
