Etremely noticeable today was how visible women were in the election voting lines
I assume it has something to do with the gains made by women since 2007 when #Sandinistas returned to power

Students at Pimlico Academy school are leaving school early because of the protest today.
They are staggering the different year groups out.
Embrassing day for school hierarchy powerful day for students who made the school stand up and pay attention.
1/5
Just spoke with to two year 11 students @ #PimlicoAcademy
They said the school avoided the elephant in the room + said nothing to the students, sent an email to the parents saying they would close early + the leadership (the reason for the protests) hid out of sight all day
1. The '#humanitarianaid volunteers' were violent and masked up, unlike any humanitarians I have ever seen.
They also appeared to be aided (no pun intended) by the Colombian authorities.
2. What appeared to be a hand gun was seen with the 'volunteers' on the Colombian side. Y would #Colombian authorites allow a boy masked up to past them with a gun, was it really all about #humanitarianaid?
Or were they sending some kids to do their dirty work. #JustAsking?
