Nos están matando #SOSCOLOMBIA
I usually don’t do this, but right now I feel the need to.
I can’t just be quiet about it and act like nothing is happening, because it hurts and breaks my heart to see everything that’s going on in my country right now.
It would mean the world to me if you could get informed and spread awareness of what’s going on in my country right now.
Colombia is a country that has always battled with violence and corruption, but lately this abuse of power has overstepped the line, and people are tired.
Why is this happening?
On April 15, our president Ivan Duque introduced a tax reform to cover the fiscal gap caused by the pandemic. This reform, affected the working class and worsened their situation of vulnerability during the pandemic.
That same Wednesday, thousands of Colombians went out to the streets, the vast majority peacefully, to demand the withdrawal of the Tax Reform from Congress and the resignation of Finance Minister Alberto Carrasquilla. In the afternoon there were outbreaks of violence and confrontations between protesters and the Police, which led to complaints of police abuse.
Duque refused to withdraw the reform and opened a space for dialogue. Which was not accepted and the citizens decided to continue to protests on the streets to this day.
Why are we still protesting if our minister resigned and the tax reform was withdrawn?
On May the 2nd, our president announced that the tax reform was withdrawn. However, this decision did not put an end to the protests. The protesters continued their claims for the death of at least a dozen people throughout the country, especially in Cali, by shots and abused carried out by the Public Force.
What was Duque’s response?
Duque's response was to send more force and militarize the cities, which was rejected by the citizens who announced that they would continue to complain against measures promoted by the government, such as the reform of the health system and the use of the glyphosate.
Right now, the government is deploying war tanks to combat against the protestors.

What is the media doing about it?
Nothing, and it’s making the situation even worse.
The national media outlets are so biased that they reported a video of one of the biggest protests in Cali, -which is the city with the most deaths, registering eleven, most of whom are young people who were at the protest and were shot dead- as a manifestation in support of the tax reform.

DAUNTE WRIGHT
20 year old Daunte Wright was murdered by police in Brooklyn Center, a Minneapolis suburb today, April 11th, 2021 during a traffic stop.
As of 7pm, his body is still laying on the ground. Riot cops are on the scene with "less lethals" AND live weapons in response to a large crowd that has formed to hold space for grief and anger. Daunte's mother is there and speaking, and she shared the above photo of Daunte.
The Derek Chauvin trial is currently ongoing and these police are out here still actively murdering our neighbors. ACAB forever.
Say his name and demand Justice for Daunte Wright

RACISM IS NOT COMEDY!
useful carrds to get educated on what's happening towards asian community:
hi! you might recognize me from this post i made on antiblackness. i’ve been in a tight spot mentally physically and most importantly financially, so i could really use some support. i’m not sure where i’ll be staying in a few months and i’d like to save up for an apartment. i’ve elaborated under the cut for anyone who wants details, but in short:
i can’t afford summer housing with my school. if i don’t get into student housing for next semester, i’ll get some money back for it, but tuition is so high that the refund wouldn’t be enough to get me somewhere to stay in the bay area. i could really use help saving up for a move. i am setting a tentative goal of $3,000, which i’m hoping will cover a deposit and first month’s rent somewhere cheap, but literally anything would be helpful at this point.

R U mine?
Someone on TikTok said that bitches with anxiety love the enemies to lovers trope because the idea of having someone see all of our negative traits first and then still fall in love with us is really comforting since we worry that if someone sees our negative traits after they fall in love, they’ll leave us.
It’s me, I’m bitches.
