INDEX
Colombia is immersed in a massive antigovernment protest that has been met with a violent response from the authorities. The police, the army, and the ‘unknown’ groups are literally massacring civilians. In only ten days, more than 40 people have been killed, hundreds disappeared, dozens lost their eyes in the hands of the riot police, and there have been numerous sexual abuse and misconduct complaints filed against the forces of ‘order.’

MAY 9TH
DAY 12 OF THE NATIONAL STRIKE
"We did this dance to show that the people are rising up against an unjust government, people are resisting"
"It is not a bad apple; it is the whole tree from the root! !!! TOLOPOSUNGO !!!. “We, the trans the maricas, the dissidents, the travestis are called to revolutionize this shitty assassin system, by moving our bodies, our weapon is our bodies” Vogue is a revolution, and it is time to continue using it as a lethal weapon against a rotten institution that violates, kills and riddles us. We do not say ACAB. We say, “TOLOPOSUNGO,” all the police are like gonorrhea” That is why we join the march against all phobias to protest against the institution that kills and violates us the most.
WHAT WE THE MARICONAS WANT IS POLICE ABOLITION #TOLOPOSUNGO #SOSCOLOMBIA"
MAY 16TH
DAY 18 OF THE NATIONAL STRIKE
Let it be heard loud and clear, like yesterday, today, and always: "We whores do not give birth to tombos (police officers)!” And if the tombo were fags, they would-be revolutionaries and would be on the side of the people, not shooting them, not violating them, not raping them, not murdering them. For that more: Always with the whores, never with the tombos!
#TOLOPOSUNGO
