groundswell

But in recent months, a groundswell of momentum has been building at USC.

There's a groundswell of anger against Hasina's Awami League-led government, which is accused of unlawful killings, enforced disappearances, and brutal suppression of dissent.

Amid the groundswell of people calling to request visits or check on his well-being, local organizers are also planning actions on Soliman’s behalf for the week of Aug. 10.

Together with co-editor Martha Bayne, these two writers corralled the groundswell of grief, tribute, loss and love into a call for proposals, and the result is a new anthology, “Nothing Compares to You: What Sinéad O’Connor Means to Us.”

To make the point once again, there is nothing special about this place or about last week’s protest, except that if it happened here it is happening everywhere, and represents a genuine groundswell that cannot be contained, or even addressed, by the platitudes of conventional politics.
