Antifa are folks who oppose fascism. Wild times we live where racist, white nationalist are heroes, and those who oppose fascism are criminals.

Friends, Any accounts I should follow who have thoughtful content on democracy, law, fascism, authoritarianism, social movements, human rights, Gaza, South Asia, globalization, and related topics. Need to connect with folks who are equally outraged as I am with the direction of our globe.

For my recent Huq It, Substack post, I write about the Bengali diaspora school in Sicily, the links to Bangladesh's language movement, and the broader struggle for linguistic diversity. "UNESCO estimates that over 1,500 languages may disappear by the end of this century."

"the Bangla school in Palermo (or in other parts of the Bangladeshi global diaspora) is not only about learning the language, but it is also about placing the Bangla diaspora school within the historical lineage of the revolutionary language movement." open.substack.com/pub/huqit/p/...

Bangladeshi are resourceful. 😁
