ANANA KAYE – Are You There?
Anana Kaye livre une œuvre dont les réminiscences eighties renvoient davantage au meilleur de Kim Carnes, Kate Bush et Cindy Lauper qu’à la scène néo-folk et country de son Nashville de résidence.

4 years today 🇺🇦 This folk song set to a Taras Shevchenko poem never fails to make me cry. Sung in three part harmony with @emilymarieloise and @RosemaryFossee
“Why have you turned black,
O green field?
- I turned black in the evening
For your freedom “
Героям слава! 🇺🇦🕊️
Nashville-based artist Anana Kaye delivers a haunting reimagining of Leonard Cohen’s “There Is A War.” By trading the original’s strings for grimy distortion and an industrial pulse, Kaye highlights the song’s timeless urgency within a creative soundscape. https://t.co/P9csNOWwyR
Anana Kaye's new single, "There Is A War," is a strong new version of a Leonard Cohen song. It came out on Meridian (ECR Music Group) as the second single from her next album, "Are You There?"

On this cover of 'There Is A War', @AnanaKaye transforms the acoustic warmth and soulful sway of Leonard Cohen into something more pressing, darker and minimalist.

The term “law enforcement” should not be used by media, except perhaps in quotations. It has sadly become an Orwellian term that is used to magically sanctify violence. Language matters. Be specific. Describe individuals with names and ranks. Say exactly what they did. Don’t repeat fascist hocum.
A new line has been crossed in Georgia. For the first time, Georgian Dream is prosecuting a protester for standing on a sidewalk.
Ani Akhmeteli has been charged under Article 174¹ for allegedly “obstructing movement” simply by standing on the sidewalk during a protest near Parliament on Dec 17. Her court hearing is set for Dec 25. She faces up to 15 days of detention, and up to a year in jail for repeated 'offenses'.
Context: Under a new law, citizens must notify police five days in advance about any protest—even on sidewalks. Police then have three days to respond and may dictate an alternative place, route, or time.
After receiving such notifications, police have issued a decision that the daily Rustaveli protests may only take place in the small area directly in front of Parliament—not on the main sidewalk—and must not “obstruct movement.”

The world forgot that appeasing Russia in Chechnya led to war in Georgia. It forgot that appeasing Russia in Georgia led to war in Ukraine. And it still can’t grasp that capitulating Ukraine today is an open invitation for Russia to start the next, even bigger war.
Exactly a year since the Georgian Dream stole elections from the people of Georgia, only to thicken their pockets and hand the country over to Russia, China, Iran...
In the past couple of weeks, the regime went absolutely wild with repressions, going after every single one who’d dare to go out and protest, jailing almost over prisons capacity, and announcing an imminent ban of democratic parties, democratic politicians as individuals.
Yet, today, the public took to the streets in high numbers again despite imprisonments, and they were addressed by the legitimate President of Georgia @Zourabichvili_S as well as politicians who are to be banned by the regime.
Yet another major day of persistence and resilience that will eventually bring us to victory!

#GeorgiaProtests, Day 333 continuous.
With Russian bots and propagandists again spamming all of the internet with the same three fancy looking places in Moscow and St. Petersburg, I figured it'd be a good time to write a continuation to my travel guide to Russia.
Welcome to vol. 2 of "Posh Russian cities"! Enjoy!🧵
I am very happy to be taking part in a #NoKings rally tomorrow, and I know millions of you will be doing the same. Please share photos of your signs in the comments to inspire others!
