Not to mention that we could’ve gotten plenty of diesel fuel-and cheaper, too-without helping Putin kill innocent Ukrainians. But now, the stain of their blood will forever remain on the hands of Trump and his soulless, hypocritical acolytes in the Republican party May they rot in hell

‘What if all cockroaches came together?’ “Get ready to swarm the streets of Delhi with peaceful & loving dissent.” “For the government, we may be mere insects, but we are alive &capable of fighting for our rights” Can Gen Z’s “CJP” shake up India’s politics? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Among the gen Zs and millennials who gathered amid a heavy police presence, many expressed hope that a youth-led mobilisation, similar to movements that brought down governments in the neighbouring countries of Nepal and Sri Lanka, could be gathering pace in India. "The young people here have suffered enough too," said Kriti, 21, a university student from Delhi.

The momentum behind the CJP has taken many by surprise, none more so than Dipke, who just a few weeks ago was living a quiet life in the US as an Indian graduate of Boston University.

It was only on a whim, enraged by the comments of the chief justice of India who had compared India's unemployed youth to "parasites" and “cockroaches" during a supreme court hearing, that Dipke had jokingly put out a call on social media: "What if all cockroaches came together?" 

The overwhelming response made him realise he had touched a nerve. He built a website and social media accounts for a satirical Cockroach Janta party - a poke at Modi's ruling Bharatiya Janta party (BJP) - complete with a biting manifesto taking aim at the government, and a tagline: "A political party for the people the system forgot to count."
