@VivekT @Poonamsharma @abj @ranjona @Samchoudhury @rupagulab

I agree with everything you say. Except, I'm not sure exactly how much hacked EVMs helped the bjpee in 2019.

With the paper trails NOT matching in 370 out of 540 seats - and the absolute silence of the EC, this looks like a big factor! In such matters, I think it is up to the accused to prove their innocence, for, stealing votes ranks right at the top of the list of Most Heinous Crimes!!

10,000 tribals charged with sedition in one Jharkhand district. Another example of how we accelerating towards becoming a fascist state.

10,000 people charged with sedition in one Jharkhand district. What does democracy mean here?

Adivasis say they are being hounded for invoking the Constitution to protect their land rights.

So proud of JNU students, who are fighting not just for themselves, but for the future of public education in India, and to ensure that everyone - regardless of accidents of birth and income - gets a chance to access the best education.

Next time you cry about "lawlessness" in the country, remember how you turned your backs on students getting beaten up for protesting fee hike. Remember how you sided with the establishment in their attempt to make education inaccessible to the poor.

Mastodon can't be compared to anonymous forums like hacker news and reddit. They are far more equal than this we have here. Also, local and federated timelines are useless, on top of the that you are one wrong touch or click away from porn being shoved into your face on these timelines.

JNU student's March to parliament against the fee hike has been brutally suppressed by the Delhi Police.

Several students including JNUSU president Aishe Ghosh have been badly beaten up and detained. Now the Delhi police are taking them to unknown stations!!

Brave is showing up in my newsfeeds again, so

Periodic reminder that Brendan Eich, the CEO of Brave Software, is a homophobe who donates to anti-LGBT organizations.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't use the browser. But you should probably be wary of any monetization attempts, since we know where that money will go.

Ah this is a good place to sly all the people who are listing "3 Idiots" among their favourite films. It was such a terrible, pretentious, bullshit film. Raju Hirani has a talent for comedy but squandered it all at the altar of preachiness. (Compare Munnabhai 1 and 2). And 3 Idiots was the apotheosis of preachy Raju Hirani. To make matters worse whenever anyone hears I quit law to be a photographer they all say "oooh, like 3 Idiots!" and I have to smile and say "yes yes, uncle, just like that".
