October 4 is going to be a big political watershed one way or another, and itโ€™s disturbingly full of uncertainty in both how it might unfold as well as its potential outcomes. #GeorgiaProtests

UNM politician and Tbilisi City Council member Zviad Kuprava has just been arrested over "calls to overthrow the state authorities." Heโ€™s been vocal regarding the October 4 grand rally, and in particular, he called for the disruption of the sham local elections process.

JUST IN: the regime has trumped-up an even heavier charge against Gela Khasaia: group violence leading to light damage to health, implying 4-6 years in jail.

Anyone who has seen or spoken to Gela knows how ridiculous this is.

Apparently, heโ€™s been a big trouble for the regime.

There are mounting rumours / half-evidences that the Georgian Dream regime is preparing for something uniquely brutal for the grand October 4 rally.

Ivanishviliโ€™s former business partner, Giorgi Bachiashviliโ€™s elderly parents have been sentenced to prison. Prosecutors accuse them of laundering money together with their son โ€” the case is tied to Bachiashviliโ€™s financial dispute with Ivanishvili. 1/2

โ€œAs long as Moldovaโ€™s in CIS, it would be hard to congratulate them - weโ€™ll wait until they leave the CIS, and then weโ€™ll review the issue of congratulating them [on the elections].โ€

Can you just imagine how desperate the Georgian Dream is to suffocate the #GeorgiaProtests?

Shushanaโ€™s family lives in Khobi, Western Georgia. Shushana lives in Tbilisi. She owns no property whatsoever and all her accounts are already frozen.

Shushana refuses to yield to the terror and pay anything despite a one-month warrant to do so. 2/

The regime in Georgia continues their new tactic of family property seizure threats.

After Droa party member Natia Letodianiโ€™s case, another Droa member Shushana Matsaberidzeโ€™s family is targeted. 1/

Friends, please let me know if you know of a remote job available for someone who speaks Turkish and Russian fluently, as well as quite reasonable English.

Youโ€™d be doing a great kindness ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

Thea Tsulukiani states that in accordance with the โ€œParliamentary Commission,โ€ the Constitutional Court will soon be addressed to ban the UNM and bar its politicians from political life.

Unsure if she actually means the UNM proper or all of us parties, but whatever.

Believe it or not, this morning, even so-called Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said Mikheil Saakashvili instead of Mikheil Kavelashvili. And didn't even notice it before a journalist.

Once we crown it with victory, it will be a new global playbook of democratic resilience. 2/2.

For almost a year, Georgians are protesting every single day.

Just two years ago, people would laugh at you if you suggested that Georgians can be enduring in discipline.

Yet, this is the most enduring daily protest in the world history, from what I know. 1/2

So grateful to all of you throughout these months, and especially those who trust me enough to commit regularly. Itโ€™s an honor & responsibility.

Friends, fellas, itโ€™s not too urgent, but if possible, I'd like to request some donations for my team because I hijacked most of their resources for my two upcoming international business visits that I couldn't miss, and itโ€™s hard not to feel guilty ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜

Suddenly many cartel-croby businesses speak to media that Ivanishvili or any pillar must not be sanctioned, because it's harmful to Georgia. At the same time, they say sanctions don't work...

Why now, why so many.

If you wanna know who's who, you must be a part of 2025 Georgia.

gave a room to Coalition for Change members to โ€œplan radicalismโ€ on October 4 (the โ€œpeaceful revolutionโ€ as announced by some groups).

As a Coalition for Change member, this โ€œinfoโ€ is outright absurd, and everyone knows the Coalition is not involved in the planning & organization of the date. 2/2.

Natia has no property of her own and her accounts are frozen due to unpaid draconian fines.

It's worth noting that Natia's family is internally displaced from Sokhumi, Abkhazia, and that his father lost sight due to the brutal Gavrilov's Night crackdown of anti-Russian protests in June 2019. 3/3.

Our Droa party member Natia Letodiani's family property apparently risks confiscation over Natia's unpaid dictatorial protest fines.

The National Bureau of Enforcement said they must assess the value of property at her place, and that they'd be back on Monday. 2/

No intimidation tactic worked for suppressing #GeorgiaProtests, even getting jailed has lost its intimidating value, so now the regime has resorted to threatening to seize family properties of activists. 1/

Regime propaganda behemoth Imedi TV was refused entry into Moldova in the run-up to the high-stakes Parliamentary elections.

Guess they wonโ€™t be able to twist reality from the ground.
