My take on the campus protests. How did things come to such a pass? Anti colonialism and anti racism became the mantra to what result?

This viral post gets a lot wrong.

1) This post is false — MFA DG Yang Tao saw Blinken off.

We need to take proactive measures to increase public trust in our electoral processes, but the campaign against EVMs is doing the opposite of that. EVM bogeyman is a lamentable distraction from the real challenges to democracy, now increasingly technology driven & mediatised

Every university president is just trying to get through this graduation season with their career intact. Many will fail.

India had 200 million TikTok users when they banned TikTok.

Creators quickly just switched to YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels, and life continued much as before.

Still can't quite digest that a former and possible future American president is telling the supreme court that he should have immunity to kill political rivals. Utterly surreal.

MEA having fun! And please do not declare ‘trouble’ in the relationship.
