Replying to @camilateleSUR
But in true UN fence-sitting style condemns ... "as well as looting and destruction of public and private property." Don't they get it? The UN can hold governments to account, not crowds venting against a neoliberal dictatorship the best way they can

Replying to @joekellyca
What got me is that they said that media was taken off the airwaves and didn't mention that it was by the state..not by protesters. Some vandals (separate from Indigenous movements) may have threatened outlets but it was @Lenin's govt who censored, cut their signal.
