@tcnicholls For many, transnational corporations dictating every aspect of their life and liberty has been the norm for centuries, not a recent deviation from the norm.

IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, TRANS PEOPLE ARE BASICALLY LOOKSMAXXERS 😱

Even after the attempt at disenfranchising voters, glad to see that ECI were true to their words, and my polling station was accessible indeed.

My parents, though leaning left, have been a bit skeptical to vote for the left this time, given the current leader had a private meeting with one of the top leaders in TMC, possibly for an alliance. While I'll not name whom I have voted for, all I'll say is it was neither the incompetent incumbents, nor twas the rising fascists.

WOOOOOOH I GOT TO VOTE FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY! :D

My neighbourhood was eerily quiet, though the polling booth seemed to be chill and fairly empty. Before going in, a CRPF officer checked my ID, then upon entering the polling booth, the polling officer checked for my name on the roll, cross-checked with the voter ID, issued a slip, another got my finger dyed with a special ink, and then I got to cast my vote!

>"In Noida, workers reiterated their demand for a minimum basic monthly salary of Rs 20,000, to be at par with Haryana where the government had recently announced a 35% hike. They have also demanded that salaries and payslips be issued by the 10th of every month to meet with bill requirements, double pay for overtime work, transfer bonuses credited directly to bank accounts, along with a guaranteed weekly off."

Factories Deserted in Noida; Workers Reject Wage Hike Proposals by Haryana, UP Govts - The Wire

In Noida, workers reiterated their demand for a minimum basic monthly salary at par with Haryana where the government had announced a 35% hike. Meanwhile, in Haryana, workers said that the increase doesn’t cut it in comparison to their expenses.
