Indian farmers' protest completes 200 days
_____ | popularresistance.org | 2021-06-25
It has been a tumultuous ride, says Dharmendra Malik, the media in-charge of Bhartiya Kisan Union. "First, they derided us as the misguided rural folk. Then we were labelled as hooligans and even terrorists! Then came the accusation of some international conspiracy. There was also an attempt to blame the second COVID wave on us.

Yet for some, we are anything but humans with legitimate demands and a right to protest."

Meet the Father Who Tricked Ex-NRA Head into Addressing 3,044 Empty Chairs for Gun Violence Victims
Staff | democracynow.org | 2021-06-25
The parents of a student killed in the 2018 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School duped a former president of the National Rifle Association into giving a high school graduation speech defending gun rights in front of 3,044 empty white chairs — one chair for each student who could not graduate this year because they were killed by gun violence. David Keene, who still serves on the NRA board, thought he was giving a rehearsal speech for graduating students at the James Madison Academy in Las Vegas, but no such school exists. Video of the speech was turned into a viral video promoting universal bac…
