Keep your eyes on #India. #Delhi was forced into lockdown because the govt didn't want students and Gen X protesting and making noise about 130 Million people who were stripped of their right to vote. But the cockroaches have persisted, and will continue to do so. #CJP #Protests #GenZ #India #CJP https://aje.news/1yoy6z

@Lylamehta@mas.to India is rising up. France rising up. Minneapolis is rising up. New York is rising up. Brazil is rising up. The power of the fascists seems unsurmountable. Every small act of insurrection moves our lines forward. Keep going. Keep it up. Power to the people.
