A woman gave her live aerobics class in Myanmar without knowing about the ongoing coupe. Behind her, military vehicles arrive to seize the Parliament building

2021 off to a great optic start
Also the music is amazing. I like about halfway thru as she dances to a swarm of military vehicles driving off to overthrow the gov into the background
Looks like she has done very similar videos in the past at the same location
Some commenters pointing out she probably realized, at least somewhat, what was happening and chose to continue streaming. Is it because she is so dedicated to fitness or a low-key attempt to get out info under censorship? Dunno but she deserves a million followers for her class
Also can someone please edit this woman into famous battle footage?
I dont have a soundcloud, but if you know of a reliable source to get the numbers of environmental activists killed in the Philippines in 2020 please do hit me up

Speaking of people not reading the article before they tweet 🤭
All the politicos jockeying while loosely playing w the truth ahead of an upcoming election is normal- but when the carelessness involves COVID it's a lot less harmless
Just to be clear- the Duquee administrations rollout (or non rollout rather) has been been HORRIFIC and even included lies to the public, but the claims Petro is making here are not even supported by the article he is tweeting

With everyone talking about Wall Street, it seems like a good moment to talk about the Occupy Wall Street movement, which happened 10 years ago this year! I spent weeks there, and it was incredibly instructive both in State violence in the US and how movements fall apart 🧵
First, quick refresher. In 2011, securities traders nearly burned down the global economy. The response of the US gov to the crisis was the "too big to fail" bailouts. This pissed off a lot of ppl who felt they were being rewarded for predatory behavior while the poor suffered
I lived in Brooklyn and was interested in protests generally (always have been!). So when Adbusters (love that org) and some other groups announced a protest in Zuccoti Park, I went down to check it out and brought along a case of water to donate

Was curious so I made a map of every place I've gone for work in Colombia- the rule was I had to have slept there overnight, not just passed through

Gotta get to the Southeast!!

google.com/mymaps/?cid=mp…
Also gotta get to Arauca
First I was trying to draw land routes I have taken, but the map just looked like a massive crayon children's drawing of a blob

Today's thread for national strikes in Bogotà #PARONacional21o

I'm at Parque Nacional where student and union groups are gathering for a march downtown. This is just one of four rally points. The Minga, meanwhile are organizing their own march. This is shaping up to be big Image
Drummers warming up the crowd. People pouring in. Duque choosing to ignore the Minga, many of whom travelled for as much as ten days seems to have energized protests here
Holy moly. Without a doubt biggest concentrated protest I've seen since last November, and this is just one part...

We re marching south to Plaza Bolivar to meet 3 other manefestations ImageImageImageImage

Latest: I travelled with indigenous protests in Colombia for four days to the capital Bogotá. This is what they want, why they're on the streets and an explainer on why their homelands have become so deadly. For the @newhumanitarian

Help on the images from @abigailgeiger and @NoTranquilo

1000's of Indigenous came to Bogotá to demand solutions for killings in their communities, unkept promises, and decades of neglect that have resulted in their regions becoming the deadliest areas of Colombia ImageImageImage
A lot of these issues are deeply tied to the 2017 Peace Deal, which some critics say is failing due to an administration that wants to dismantle the accord. You can find more here

Special thanks to @pauladdobias and @McGully2 for some beautiful editing thenewhumanitarian.org/analysis/2020/…
