#georgia #caucasus #Democracy #election
After the Georgian legislature passed the #foreignagentlaw over the president’s veto, the elections in four months are the last chance to save their democracy and their EU ambitions. The authoritarian #GeorgianDream party which is supported by an oligarch with ties to Moscow will try to disrupt the election and falsify results. It’s a critical time for Georgia.

My relatives in rural #Yancey county #NorthCarolina just got cellphone service. (Yay!)
Roads are still a mess, one lane washed away in many places. Easier to get through with ATV’s than regular vehicles.
Lots of folks in #Burnsville right now, both the displaced and aid workers. About triple the normal population of 1600.
The post office in #Micaville is totally gone.

“A new gun violence study that looked at deaths among children in America since a pivotal Supreme Court decision 15 years ago has a troubling finding: Children are more at risk of dying from firearm violence in states with more permissive gun laws than in states that maintained strict gun ownership laws after the court decision.”
“Firearms are now the leading cause of death among children and teenagers in America.”

Lawrence Freedman’s recent Dallin Memorial Lecture at Stanford University. He covers #Russia, #Putin, #Ukraine, #nuclearescalation, and so-called #redlines. Long read but worth the time.
“I believe it is the case that Putin would prefer to keep this war going rather than face the reckoning of admitting that he has failed in his quest to subjugate Ukraine or consolidate his hold over Ukrainian territory. “

#Zelenskyy should NEVER apologize for defending his country and Trump should be the one apologizing to #Zelenskyy for his rude boorish behavior.

I think that #scotus has crossed the line of their legitimate authority. Only Congress has the power to make laws, so when #scotus does it, it’s not really legal. We desperately need a way to keep them in their lane. Right now they’re asserting power that they don’t really have.

“The intended and actual effect of the Order’s sanctions is to drive clients away from WilmerHale!” -
Trump is not “testing” the limits of the law, he is blatantly, brazenly, and illegally violating #laws, norms, #ethics, and rights guaranteed to us by the #USConstitution.
