“Between 1952 and 1958, 1,090 Kikuyu were hanged. In no other place, and at no other time in the history of British imperialism, was state execution used on such a scale.” #decolonizehistory #legacyofimperialism

No country in the world has tried participatory budgeting at the national level. #SriLanka could be the first. The state will not give in voluntarily. This must be demanded. Isn’t it time to demand the impossible? #EconomicCrisisLK

the unholy conjoining of the massive and traditionally opposed Ranil and Rajapaksa propaganda machines is not going well for us

100 days of working in one of my favorite fields of photography without missing a single event. Heavy rains, tear gas, gunshots, water cannons, walking for kilometers made me more moral to go to my targets. One day I will be able to make an exhibition only about this struggle.

How quick some of you were with your hot takes on “disappointments from #Aragalaya” when they kept reiterating this isn’t over.

This FIGHT for our democracy is far from over.
