Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-depo...

#repressioninGeorgia Isako Devidze arrested, his mother’s surgery money taken, even the EU & Georgian flags seized. When a regime fears its own people, it resorts to theft and repression. But no stolen money or broken doors will stop Georgians from standing for their future. 🇬🇪🇪🇺

@aoc.bsky.social The existence of centi-billionaires is not merely a symptom of systemic privilege or exploitation. It represents a flaw, a glitch in capitalism itself: a runaway mechanism of parasitic hyper-accumulation that has enabled unimaginable fortunes to balloon in an absurdly short time.

Humanity’s continuation requires that centi-billionaires become fossils—relics of a bygone era, studied by future generations to comprehend the absurd scale of their existence, the devastation caused by their tiny brains and outsized bodies, & the glitch in capitalism that enabled them @thehill.com

These accidents are becoming a pattern. When a government spends a decade + serving only one man with a penchant for large-scale money laundering projects, of course our infrastructure is exponentially deteriorating into random catastrophes. GD has blood on its hands and not just that of protesters.

The car that was supposed to set up the stage for the President at Rustaveli was apprehended, and the driver’s phone confiscated so that he couldn’t inform his team quickly. The petty regime thinks President Zourabichvili can’t reach the public at 21:00 PM without the stage.
