Why we can’t sit alone with our thoughts anymore A survey shows Americans listen to nearly four hours of audio a day. There are good reasons to take breaks and be comfortable with silence, experts say. @edisonresearch @ssrs_research wapo.st/3QvsvIL

“Los venezolanos estamos enviando un mensaje claro al mundo: ¡Venezuela será libre porque así lo decidimos! Nos habían dividido y hecho dudar de nuestra fuerza, pero fuimos abriendo puertas y uniéndonos. Construiremos una nación, con pilares sólidos, donde nunca jamás una tiranía volverá a poner un pie”: María Corina Machado en su discurso en la Puerta del Sol de Madrid.

Dear colleagues and friends of Georgia, You frequently write and speak about Georgia, and we deeply appreciate the attention you bring to developments in our country. As you may know, Georgia is currently facing a very difficult period, and our regional broadcaster is now under significant pressure and fighting simply to continue operating. We would be sincerely grateful if you could stand with us by sharing our post or briefly drawing attention to the situation facing independent media in Georgia. Even a small gesture of support can make a meaningful difference and help ensure that independent voices remain heard. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. @Billbrowder @GitanasNauseda @McFaul @EspenBarthEide @KShoshiashvili @NeilPHauer @elinavaltonen @guyverhofstadt @ViolavonCramon @RepJoeWilson @RJukneviciene @ikelly731 @mari_nikuradze @AnnaGvarishvili @Mikiashvili_M

JUST IN: Opposition Alliance launched in Georgia. Today, Georgian democratic parties form Oppostion Alliance and agree on a joint strategy for victory, we well as rules of cooperation. The Alliance aims to liberate Georgia from the autocratic regime of Bidzina Ivanishvili, to restore the country’s Euro-Atlantic course and, therefore, to save Georgia’s national independence and statehood. The member parties of the Alliance are: Ahali, Girchi – More Freedom, Droa, European Georgia, National Democratic Party, United National Movement, Freedom Square, Strategy Agmashenebeli, and the Federalists. The Opposition Alliance agreed that there’s an ongoing existential struggle over Georgia’s historical and civilizational choice, which will decide which side of the “Iron Curtain” the Georgian people will find themselves on for the next decades. The strategic goal of the Opposition Alliance is to mobilize the vast majority of society for peaceful protest and dismantling the regime. The main principles of the agreement are: • Unity without uniformity: the parties maintain their ideological identity, but agree on a unified communication and protest strategy; • Democratic alternative: the Alliance agrees that only a democratic alternative focused on the interests of citizens will defeat the autocratic regime; • Ways to achieve the goal: expand the protest, strengthen international pressure and offer a democratic, credible alternative to the Georgian people; • Code of conduct and responsibility: the most important part of the document is the code of conduct, which regulates the rules of cooperation between the signatory parties to ensure strong unity; The parties recognize each other as equal partners and agree that coordinated action to achieve a common goal is a strategic necessity. The Opposition Alliance swears to fight until the end — until the release of political prisoners and the achievement of free and fair elections. The Alliance representatives state that doors are open for other parties as well, including Lelo, which has been preferring an individual approach. @ahaliparty @DroaParty @GIRCHIMF @CoalitionGEO @UNMGeorgia @EuropeanGeorgia @FederalistsGEO @vashadze_giorgi @LTsutskiridze #GeorgiaProtests

Three of the democratic leaders in the picture have recently been released from jail (but they all face further prosecution). They posted a picture together from #GeorgiaProtests Day 448, humorously saying they didn’t get a chance to take a group photo at Rustavi [prison].
