Hate speech (desh ke gaddaro ko, goli maro sardaro ko resurfaced) is flourishing. THAT is the issue that’s taken global centre stage…. While news and media will have you think that these are outside forces trying to control the functioning of our country, you must remember that these are not alien species but fellow humans who are speaking up for the rights of other humans. To re-iterate, news tonight will try to paint a picture that ‘outside forces’ are trying to meddle in the functioning of our country. Please don’t give in to that narrative. It’s human, standing up for other humans. THAT’S the narrative.”

She stated why aren’t we speaking about this. Then we talked about it. Then a press release is issued (unhealthy thought, IMHO, now everybody desires to know what the fuss was about) and a slew of carefully-worded ☮️issues observe. And we’re nonetheless speaking about it…that is what you got here for 🎵 pic.twitter.com/EAeShpNvlU
