Fascism does not arrive saying “I am fascism.” It arrives saying “law and order,” “border security,” “anti-woke,” “election integrity,” and “national emergency.”
A booth in Bengal's New Town with 88% Muslim voters recorded 97% votes for BJP, handing BJP the seat. CPI(M) got 1 vote, TMC 5.
'This is an impossible result, where did our votes go?' ask locals. @shinjineemjmdr@Onkeyta_ & @Holytripper heard them.

In an electoral autocracy, dissent is trapped like flies in a glass bottle. They are content to let you buzz around from time to time, as long as you don't test the limits of your walls. But to be effective you have to crash into those walls, repeatedly, until you find a way out.
Appalling that Telangana CM Revanth Reddy proudly admits his 'HYDRAA' is inspired by Hitler. It exposes his RSS roots & facist mindset and @INCIndia leadership owe explanation to the Nation on the issue.
The Supreme Court's judgment on SIR is the ADM Jabalpur of our times. The signal is unmissable: once the regime puts its foot down on a ‘politically sensitive’ matter, shutters are down for constitutional remedies in the courts. At a moment when the republic needed its guardian the most, the apex judiciary chose to abdicate its constitutional responsibility.
As Bertolt Brecht foresaw—instead of the people electing their rulers, now the rulers are free to elect their people. My complete analysis in @IndianExpress: https://t.co/JTDhzeOP2b
The government should send a clear message that data sanitisation must not be undertaken under the guise of re-verification- The Hindu Editorial on Census story we reported yesterday.

"I was trolled endlessly by people online, some even called me anti-national" —This is the trouble when the country, in a deranged trance, shows allegiance to a person and a political party, forgetting that the actual country is beyond and far bigger than that individual and party.
@DilliDurAst We aren't shrinking. Not yet at least. It takes about three decades after having achieved fertility rate of 2.1 for the population to actually start falling.
Also, our infrastructure is about three decades behind, so we are going to feel crowded for a long time to come.
Albanians just showed the world how it's done.
The government was selling off prime coastal land and protected islands to Jared Kushner and linked investors for a massive luxury resort turning public beaches and nature reserves into private playgrounds for the ultra-rich. The people said: HELL NO. Thousands poured into the streets under “Albania Is Not For Sale.” Protests turned fiery. They stormed government buildings and burnt down the Prime Minister’s house. This isn’t just about a deal. It’s about sovereignty. It’s about refusing to let your country be auctioned off to foreign billionaires while locals lose access to their own coastline. When elites sell the nation’s future for kickbacks and luxury resorts, the people have every right to push back hard. Respect to the Albanians for refusing to be colonized by cash. Other countries should be taking notes.
