Yesterday was the one year anniversary of when I attended my first Harsha Walia protest– I’ve been confounded by it ever since.

Not only because of the freakish propagandist sound of how the words are spoken, but it is scary to me because I know that this disinformation is being used to justify an uprising early this summer. I have good word that we may wake-up one day in June to discover …
