    This is the sort of resistance we need, no more ‘decorum’ to a fascist leader. He won’t respect international norms so he deserves the benefit of none himself.

    Why do various lines of this text appear to be rendered with different font sizes or weights?

      I used the Google Translate function on my Android phone. It rewrites the text in another language, in this case English, and there are slight differences in the font because of that process.

      Google translate does that with images.

      Likely multiple screenshots stitched together.

      Yes, it’s pinned on his twitter page

      Petro is cool, he was an ex-guerrilla fighter. He had ties with the 19th of April Movement which was a Bolivarian, Socialist and Rojista (Left-Wing Nationalist Socdem Military Dictator of Colombia) guerrilla and political party.

    US-American fascism isn’t new for Latin America. I’m not surprised that there are good people there who can recognize and name it. Kudos to him for stating it so plainly and not trying to soften it.

    That said, I’m going nuts here- any ideas which miller?

    “We accept these people, but we will no longer do business with the US” would have been nicer.

    The coup would come swiftly after that…

    That was a whole lot of fluff. Very poetic, but ultimately empty.
