Shubh Deepavali! Wishing everyone a very happy Diwali.

Across our city, families are lighting diyas and celebrating the triumph of light over darkness and hope over despair.

New York shines brighter tonight because of the people who bring their light and traditions home.

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly.

Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested.

Stay safe out there.

This picture is from about 5 minutes after being hit. A visible bruise is forming on my right cheekbone and by my right eye.
