Georgians have started blocking roads with their own vehicles, and in some areas they are constructing barricades. Police are firing rubber bullets at people and launching tear gas grenades.

The police dispersed the protesters in front of the Georgian parliament by using water cannons, tear gas, and other special means.

Tyra, a volunteer and paramedic, was one of the 11 women honored at the White House on Wednesday with the prestigious International Women of Courage (IWOC) Award. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and First Lady Jill Biden were in attendance to recognize the women for their efforts in defending human rights around the world. Blinken praised the awardees for their work in exposing Russian atrocities in Ukraine, advocating for equal opportunities for women and girls in Mongolia, defending democracy in the Central African Republic, and standing up for indigenous lands in Costa Rica. He also highlighted their commitment to protecting the rights of refugees, people with disabilities, and the LGBT community.

Instead, they called an emergency vehicle which shut off the gas supply to the boiler room, then drove away without giving any explanation. As a result, 870 apartments were left without heating.

And I don't want to get started on the officials running that sham. My mother taught me not to use words like that.
