It has been 395 days of continuous demonstrations in Georgia’s capital, Tbilisi. Our citizens demand the resignation of Georgia's mostly illegitimate and pro-Russian government, the release of political prisoners, and the return to a pro-European course.

It’s a win for oligarchy.
The super-rich won't hesitate to sell out the American public if it means getting merger approvals or deregulation that helps their bottom line.
