The latest aurora forecast from @NOAA shows a pretty late peak pre-dawn Saturday but looks clear for viewing across British Columbia and Alberta. #aurora#northernlights
10 more confirmed dead in yesterday’s protests in #Colombia. But when I asked the Minister of Justice about the protesters killed by police so far, he said the deaths were actually the result of isolated incidents like street fights and robberies. @VICENews
Colombia's protests, which started in response to a proposed tax reform, also rage against inequality. How unequal is Colombia? Well, per this OECD graphic published in 2018, it would take 11 generations for a poor family to approach the mean income.
@animesa ay Ana, este hilo <3 –– yo creí que "invertía mucha cosa y tiempo" en mi pelo hasta que quise llevar los crespos libres. Desde entonces he probado cuanta cosa existe, duermo con fundas de seda, y rara vez me siento peinada!
@animesa Si, tremendo. Y uno aprende que debajo de la rabia siempre hay dolor y el dolor debajo de toda esta rabia no ha encontrado ni un oído ni un espacio para confiar.
En el hilo encuentran el link a IG. Para que tomemos prestada la elocuencia de @ensergio y sigamos contando la historia. Ese Uribismo que sin bandera política nos convirtió a todos los demás en enemigos.
anoche @ensergio hizo un live en instagram en el que con mucha elocuencia y articulación explicó _todo_ el mierdero. invítenlo a sus programas de opinión, perros.

Alvaro Uribe is NOT the president. He is aldo not senator for the 2018-2020 period because HE QUIT to avoid the Supreme Court case against him for electoral fraud.
Currently, he does instigate violence and hatred against democracy and Colombian citizens that question his views.
Colombia's government deployed the military to some cities amid protests over inequality.
The UN says protests have been largely peaceful and condemned security forces for excessive force:
▪️ 430+ arrests
▪️ Protesters beaten
▪️ Rights groups report over 20 deaths
Why is Colombia protesting?
▪️ Protests began over a proposal to raise taxes on poorer people and cut some exemptions
▪️ The tax proposal was axed after protests
▪️ Protests widened in scope to address discontent over issues like inequality, unemployment, police violence
MI COLOMBIA. 17 people were killed in five days of protests against a proposed tax increase. At least 800 people were injured as the police clashed with demonstrators in major cities. Protesters have accused riot police squads of using unnecessary force. 🇨🇴🙏🏼 mis parceros
