Real Madrid really tried setting up another ‘super-galacticos’ just to be outclassed by a young Barcelona prodigy in their own playground.

Not the first time we’ve seen this script.

@nomhossain Memes did play a HUGE role in this revolution by bringing the GenZ together & keeping our hopes up. (Could be a great case study?)

Tho those were the memes made by the GenZ & typically found on FB&IG. Definitely not the abominations Indians are making on X post-revolution 🤢

[Minhaz Chowdhury @minhaznc]

Amid the chaos, miscreants from diff quarters, incl. the former ruling party, took advantage, targeting police stations & minority establishments. Sadly, uprisings are usually followed by disorder. But you can see 🇧🇩 is rebounding swiftly. Long way to go & we aren't losing hope.

[Minhaz Chowdhury @minhaznc]

After the dictator #Hasina fled, millions of people went out celebrating. I never seen such joy among people. But such sudden fleeing, resulted in confusion & chaos too. (6/n)
