I have a proven track record of putting myself on the line to resist fascism. My credentials as an anti-fascist are unimpeachable. Against friends’ advice, I’ve repeatedly attended mass rallies against fascism in India. I’ve been protested by Indian fascists.

I oppose #lockdown.
The #LockdownProtests are in support of “neo-fascist authoritarianism” say armchair commentators. Nonsense. #Lockdown itselfis fascist. What else do you call a regime so authoritarian it dictates what you can do, and with why, and when, and with who, and how? Lockdown is evil.
I was nearly arrested for walking on the wrong sidewalk when I protested the #RSS in Chicago. I was shoved and threatened when I protested #Modi in San Jose.

Again and again, I’ve been on the streets raising my voice against fascism. Against authoritarian regimes.
