So, hello. I'm using my platform here now to inform about what's happening in my country. I'm from Cali, Colombia. The city that's been burning for 5 days now and being massacred by its own government.
We need your help to spread awareness on this. As of yet, there hasn't been a lot of international news coverage about it, and our own news are too biased in favor of the government to be of any help.
How did it all start?
On April 28, a national strike was called for people to raise their voices against a tax and health reforms proposed by president Iván Duque, during an economic and social crisis exacerbated by the covid-19 pandemic.
Among other things, this reform wanted to tax us for funeral services (during a pandemic). They also wanted to increase the price of food and water, when most of the population has a salary that does not allow a family to live with dignity. Moreover, another nefastous health reform has yet to be taken down.
But the response of the national government to these protests has been to deploy military forces against the civilian population. A violent, disproportionate, and arbitrary action that incurs in serious human rights violations. My city, Santiago de Cali, has been one of the most affected places. During the night hours of the last few days, in different areas of the city, the police and the mobile anti-riot squad (ESMAD) have burst into peaceful demonstrations attacking with firearms, tear gas, and leaving a balance of dead and wounded that has not yet been counted. They have also captured many demonstrators, some of whose whereabouts are unknown.
My state is threatening the lives of the Colombian population in full view of the world. Please, don't let them silence us!
Does anyone else get annoyed when someone's eyebrows are too expressive in conversation? Unless it's groundbreaking shit, keep those caterpillars at bay.
People naming kids all sorts of craziness these days. I've been well aware that "Nevaeh" is heaven spelled backwards, so when one of my kids told me her bff was "Nael", my first thought was "lean" spelled backwards. I was wrong, Nael is a real name.
If you think Reddit is anything other than a heavily censored corporate attorney run capitalist information clearinghouse, then check out the r/antiwork forum today... You can't? Right, it's shut down.
Ever notice how it's almost always the "mother's boyfriend" when a child is killed? Not a coincidence.

I've come to realize Rick And Morty is just SpongeBob Squarepants for adults, that is overly frenetic animations combined with irony packed fever dream storytelling suspending executive brain function in viewership.
