Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
Sounds like it's time to bring some of that
to the yearning people of Columbia.
But what if the mining corporations are paying for Amazon Prime
As a
I am shocked that Colombia is willing to sacrifice their economy so badly.
Haven't they heard that the only way to transition to renewable is by first allowing oil and gas companies to bleed the earth dry for a pittance? It's like they don't even care about the line anymore.
Wild speculation time:
Both this as well as the aggression against Venezuela might have the purpose of increasing/stabilizing oil prices.
A ban on new oil projects can always be revoked or exceptions can be made.
But Gustavo Petro might also just be a cool guy.
Please stop saying Columbia it hurts my soul lol
Coulombia
Coolumbia 😎
hell yea
GOOD NEWS!!
Wha? Didn't the neolibs win the Colombian election recently?
Not at least for the President. Petro was a left wing guerilla, and by all records, appears to be a real one.
Yeah sorry I looked it up I just somehow got Colombia mixed up with Bolivia
??? You're probably mixing up Bolivia or Chile with Colombia.
