Amid endless crowds marking the protest New Year’s on Rustaveli, Georgian dancing was performed. These are not mere dances - it reminds people of their roots, the history, the struggle, and merges tradition with modernity. The dances, the traditional polyphonic songs and the supra (feast) also neutralizes the propaganda... show more

Georgian dance is so graceful, athletic, beautiful. To see it and hear the music in person can be overwhelming.

Oh it’s incredible! I’ve never seen it before, but it must be so skilled - moving as though you’re gliding like that. Thank you for sharing. On a I’ve never heard of “gay warmongers” as an insult before! 😂 The LGBTQ+ community isn’t traditionally associated with warmongering…

I remember being probably under 5 years old, seeing the women dancers on TV and being intrigued. My mum explained they take little tiny steps - though how she knew I have no idea. But it stuck in my memory.

The immense power of cultural resistance should never be underestimated.

President Salome Zourabichvili addressed the nation on New Year’s Eve and congratulated the people, with former and dismissed civil servants. This was a year of unity, she said. She joined the protesters on Rustaveli’s supra just around 15 minutes ago, where the Georgian folk song Mravalzhamieri was sung.

It was a vicious manhunt at Rustaveli. It were few of us since the protest was spontaneous and on a workday. We went down to close the road, zigzagged in a chase with the police. Then they got extremely irritated and began hunting us on pavements as well. 16 people are detained, including what seems like half of my party Droa. #GeorgiaProtests

Orwell said the fastest way to destroy a people is to erase their understanding of their own history. That’s why Emirati girls and boys performing traditional dances matter. It’s not “just” a performance. It’s memory in motion. It’s lineage, poetry, resilience, and pride carried forward by a new generation. When our girls perform the traditional dance and other folkloric dances, they are preserving identity, not apologizing for it. Visibility here is strength. Tradition here is sovereignty. We are proud of our culture. And we refuse to let anyone rewrite or distort it.🇦🇪🇦🇪

Now they are saying the Black people got ALL the street dances from Puerto Ricans who created the “Rock Dance” that was the precursor to hip hop bboying dances. And then they demonstrate these moves that FBA “took” from them. (This is NOT a parody. They are dead serious, family) 🤦🏿‍♂️

Day 75! Tonight was an epic battle of an absolutely determined regime police to prevent us from blocking Rustaveli for the first time with such resolve in the continuous protests, and protesters who zigzagged smartly to quickly show up on the road from slightly distant places and sow chaos, allowing the main mass to take the road. It truly was epic, and it was a celebration of principle. It carried such energy. This is the response to all who thought the Rustaveli protest did not matter. We annoy them, we maintain ground that makes the crisis get deeper. Earlier, several were detained. I wish my battery hadn’t died, I must have depicted it all. #terrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests 📷 PUBLIKA

Incredible to see such crowds and a great display of courage in Letterkenny, County Donegal. These crowds stand as a symbol against the attempts of Donegal County Councillors to intimidate the people of Donegal from attending the protest by their smear campaign. They claimed that there was "no place for hate" in Donegal in an effort to stop people from attending the protest. The only "hate" that exists in Donegal comes from these so-called "public representatives" against the native electorate. Their attempts to smear the good people of Donegal failed miserably. The people of Donegal stand proud and strong against the corrupt political establishment and their destruction of our country. These political puppets are in the pockets of the EU and other globalist banking and financial institutions that own them. The Irish people are on the rise and will not be stopped. We will take our country back.

In 1931, Japan staged the September 18th Incident, marking the start of the country's invasion of China and the beginning of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. On August 15, 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender, bringing the War of Resistance to a victorious end. It was also of great significance to the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War. We remember August 15 not only because it marked the end of the war and suffering, but also because it reminds us to never forget history, to honor the fallen heroes, and to cherish peace.

The No Kings protest was the biggest one day action in our nation’s history. It shows that the people are not going to let our democracy die and people get hurt in the process. Not on our watch.

Georgians express solidarity with Ukraine at the Ukrainian Embassy in Tbilisi. They are singing Oy u Luzi Chervona Kalyna, the song that so many Georgians learned by heart 4 years ago. To be honest, in 2022-2023, before long-term protests broke out in Georgia, Ukrainian symbolism and identity was such a central part of our own anti-autocratic and anti-Russian struggle against the Georgian Dream. Ukrainian music also dominated many spaces. Those were the days when national and patriotic discontent was rising, but the Georgian Dream hadn't brought dictatorial legislation yet, and hadn’t officially disengaged from the EU integration. Now too, you’ll find 🇬🇪🇺🇦🇪🇺 flags together so often in Tbilisi graffiti. Tonight's Day 454 of #GeorgiaProtests will also incorporate a greater amount of Ukrainian flags than usual. 📷 MOSE

🚨NEW: Matt Taibbi tells Emily Jashinsky that Dems' call for military to *DISOBEY TRUMP* reminds him of "BEGINNING OF RUSSIAGATE"🚨 "It's such blatant, bad, overwrought propaganda ... It reminds me again of the beginning of Russiagate when there were all these leaks about encouraging people not to share intelligence with the United States." "That made Trump look bad, but it also made the United States look weak and vulnerable and sent the signal that the country was in schism and maybe the government was not stable." "Is that what they're trying to project? I mean, is that right? I don't think so." Daily Caller
