It’s Day 443 of #GeorgiaProtests and Aza Chilachava, an elderly IDP from Abkhazia, still protests almost every day, even despite being targeted by the regime.

Aza Chilachava comes to protest almost every day over one year. She's an IDP from Abkhazia, who lives in a tiny room in an IDP settlement. She was fined for wearing a facemask at the protest when she was sick and was sentenced to one day in jail for protesting.

The FBI’s newly unsealed search warrant affidavit is a laundry list of rehashed claims from the same election deniers whose 2020 conspiracy theories were investigated, litigated, and proven false.

As a very normie Dem like Crow shows, you don’t have to be a raging lefty to speak the language that Democratic primary voters want to hear. As many have said, ideology is hardly even the dividing line anymore. Just show that you hate Trump and will deliver consequences when you win back power.

@crow.house.gov: “I’m taking names” A federal grand jury declined to indict six Democratic lawmakers, including Rep. Jason Crow, on sedition charges tied to a video urging service members to refuse unlawful orders. Crow, who has accused Trump of weaponizing the DOJ, joins The Weeknight.

“The purpose of IGNITE was to mobilize community members to look beyond the two-party political system and recognize the power within themselves to enact change.”

If you feel that the two-party system doesn't represent you very well, that's probably because it doesn't represent you very well. We're building a party and a movement to give voice and representation to the voiceless and unrepresented.

We urge Texas lawmakers to reject this partisan redistricting plan and instead adopt an independent, nonpartisan approach to drawing congressional districts. Voters should pick their leaders—leaders should not be allowed to rig the system to keep power. #TexasForward #ForwardParty

This is not a Republican or Democratic issue—it’s a democracy issue. Fair maps lead to fair elections, stronger representation, and a healthier Texas democracy. #TexasForward #ForwardParty #Gigem

The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons. Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.

“What The World Needs Now Is Love” ❤️🌍 In 2016, following the heartbreaking Pulse nightclub tragedy, Broadway’s brightest stars came together to record this song. Their message: love conquers all. 🌈 This is a reminder that even in the darkest times, love, unity, and music can bring light. ✨🎵💜

Nearly half of British youth would rather be young in a world with no internet. It’s a damning indictment of what social media has become. As its harms continue to grow, governments need to act — but they must take the right measures instead of reaching for easy fixes.

This. 100%. There's so much room in state legislatures to build a centrist party without playing spoiler, because most of the time, one of the parties has given up. There's no candidate. So a 3rd party is a 2nd choice. That's how the Forward Party is growing.
