This is such a privileged thing to say but the recent attacks on #academia is finally really striking home. #yale prof suspended for ai new’s false claim, #palestinian protestor student from #colombia stolen from his pregnant wife, 400 mil of gov funding taking from #columbia, #22students expelled or have their diplomas revoked from #columbia.

It feels it’s illegal to have an opinion in academia, the ultimate place to form new ideas and opinions.


Colombian President Gustavo Petro said the US is about to “ignite the worst war” yet based on the mistaken “belief that they are God’s chosen people”.

“God’s people are not white Americans or Israelis. God’s people are all of humanity,” said Petro, who has also clashed with Trump recently over the US deporting migrants to Colombia.

How #trump works the sycophantic #press


THREAD

A request of all media outlets --- Stop feeding #Trump propaganda with headlines like "#Trump coerced #Colombia to accept deportees" (I'm looking at you, Al Jazeera English)

Colombia has regularly taken deportees, including during #Biden years

Issue was not #Colombia taking deportees but aiding #Trump PR students by taking deportees from a US military plane

Colombia backed #Trump down by insisting 2 flights not enter country and sending Presidential plane for "decent" reception

(1/2)


What really happened ( from Akiva M Cohen over on Bluesky)

"Colombia: We're not taking shackled detainees returned on military flights. Transport them with dignity

Trump: Trade war!

Colombia: OK

Trump: Fine, no more shackled detainees returned on military flights

Colombia: Good. Was that so hard?

Trump: They gave in!"

OOPS:

#colombia Statement by President Gustavo Petro (thread, 1a/?)

(1a, some text I omitted accidentally between thread items 1 and 2):

" I confess I admire Walt Whitman, Paul Simon, Noam Chomsky, and Miller. I confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who share my blood, are memorable figures in U.S. history, and I follow their legacy. "

That part makes thread part #2 make more sense. SORRY!


#colombia Statement by President Gustavo Petro (thread, 3/?)

"So, if you know someone stubborn, that’s me, period. You can use your economic power and arrogance to attempt a coup, as you did with Allende. But I will die standing by my principles. I’ve endured torture, and I will endure you. I don’t want enslavers next to Colombia; we’ve had enough and freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you can’t stand with me, I’ll go elsewhere."


#colombia Statement by President Gustavo Petro (thread, 1/?)

"Trump, I don’t really like traveling to the U.S. much; it’s a bit boring, but I admit there are some commendable things. I enjoy visiting the Black neighborhoods in Washington. There, I witnessed an entire battle in the U.S. capital between Black and Latino communities, with barricades and all, which I thought was nonsense because they should unite instead. . . ."


This story as written is deceptive and omits key facts.

#Colombia DID NOT reject repatriation of its citizens. It rejected the landing of military planes and the handling of its citizens in chains as criminals. The norm for repatriation is to deliver people unbound in civilian planes. Colombia upheld its duty to protect the dignity and bodies of its citizens, consistent with international treaties, which the US was violating.

English media is routinely distorting the facts.

#Cuba officially declared its intention to join South Africa's genocide case against the Israeli occupation in the International Court of Justice (#ICJ).

"Cuba, invoking Article 63 of the Statute of the Court, filed in the Registry of the Court a declaration of intervention in the case concerning Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of #Genocide in the #Gaza Strip,” the court stated in a statement.

This move makes Cuba the eighth country joined South Africa's case in ICJ after Türkiye, #Nicaragua, #Colombia, #Libya, #Mexico, #Palestine, and #Spain.
