Russia invaded Ukraine 3 years ago today. Ukrainians heroically repelled the Russian fascists from Kyiv, but millions still suffer beyond our imagination under the brutality of Russian occupation today. Ukraine must defeat Russia and liberate its people.

Three years since "I need ammunition, not a ride." 🇺🇦✊🏻

Rep Kevin Hern—scared to say anything against Trump. The obvious—if Zelenskyy were a dictator, Trump would love him like he loves Putin. Glad to see folks in Oklahoma calling him out. Even small town halls matter right now. Don’t let them off the hook. Keep calling, emailing, and confronting them.

JUST IN: A convict released by self-proclaimed President Kavelashvili's amnesty (among 613 persons) just killed a 23-year-old and casually left the country to Turkey. Thank God the police are too busy fining and torturing peaceful protesters.

This! 👇

One killed, two more wounded in separate incidents today. Non-protest-related attacks and even killings are almost a daily occurrence now. The “peace and stability” of the Georgian Dream regime. #terrorinGeorgia

Day 88. “Until the end! Strength is in unity! The end of winter is coming, the people’s spring is arriving! We won’t stop - schedule new elections!” By sanctioning those responsible, you help us avoid costs that can be avoided in this struggle. #GeorgiaProtests

I've been reading exclusively Black American writers for US Black History Month and wanted to share some all-time favourites from US/CAN authors Perfect to pick up now or anytime, these stories and authors are to be read year-round #BookSky

The small town of Chkhorotsku continues to protest despite the cold weather. #GeorgiaProtests Day 88 📷Oto Shengelia

First they came for the federal employees, And I did not speak out, Because I was not a federal employee ... You know the rest of the poem. Act accordingly.

Woozy, the kidney patient wandered the hospital’s parking garage for his car. But, next thing he knew, security guards were tackling him to the ground and beating him! “You ain’t supposed to be here,” they sneered. And it was all on video. ➡️ pushblack.news/b710b7

Contemplation for today….

BREAKING: MASSIVE Ukraine rally in Washington, D.C. right now. Americans care even if Trump doesn’t.

This gets my vote for tweet/post of the year. This is a RED ALERT post. This is exactly why he’s doing it.

‘A very heavy burden’: Georgia’s protesters are facing dramatically increased fines for blocking roads. oc-media.org/a-very-heavy...

I've long said that people are sentenced to judicial rape when sentenced to prison or jail. Most people are ok with this.

La Marseillaise is often performed at the #GeorgiaProtests on salamuri, a Georgian recorder. Demanding new, free and fair elections and sanctions against violence, many see it as a tune of justice. 🇬🇪🇫🇷

American patriots know how to discern good and evil.

Day 87 continuous. Rustaveli blocked. Without new elections, there will only be continued instability and crisis, since the dictatorship will find it hard, resource-wise, to stabilize into business-as-usual mode. With sanctions, you can aid us avoid costs. #GeorgiaProstests

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

Another dataset I like is from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program, which has maps of the US that show we fixed the acid rain problem by implementing stricter emission controls on power plants. nadp.slh.wisc.edu/maps-data/nt...

Anti-Russian, pro-European protests continue despite freezing cold. #GeorgiaProtests Day 87

BREAKING: Medical examination confirms President Zourabichvili has physical injuries after the regime thugs attacked her yesterday morning. The attack against 72-year-old President whom the regime considers a former President was pre-planned since at least one regime propagandist, 1/

He could've at LEAST have displayed his sponsor logos.

A Russian bullet would stop her. And this is honestly how life in Georgia feels now - you hope for basic seaside vacation or starting a family but the Russian proxy dictator has other plans for you. And to think he could be undermined greatly by sanctions, if they ever came...

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

This is Mzia Gabeshia, a 74-year-old solo protester at Martvili City Hall who is there every day regardless of weather conditions. She says she is fighting for political prisoners, for justice, and for accountability. #GeorgiaProtests 📷 Salome Kinkladze

Canada's foreign minister says she gave Europe a 'wake-up call' on threat the felon poses to Canada #Canada 'It was a wake-up call for Europeans to hear what we’re going through,' said Mélanie Joly www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Celebrating Black History Month, more appropriately called American History.

Day 81. Many went to the Church next to the Parliament to honour the memory of two children that died from the regime's neglecting of safety standards in Batumi before moving on to blocking the road as is the principled tradition. #GeorgiaProtests

“Russia has not achieved its military goals, its economy is under immense pressure, and combat losses continue to grow. […] Now is not the time to ease this pressure”, - former NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg

“There’s also a lot of Québécois who would usually fly the Québec flag are now flying the Canadian flag.” You Americans will never appreciate how pissed we are at your country that Quebecois are flying Canadian flags.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: “We will never, ever, ever, kiss the ring of that gangster from Mar-A-Lago." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
