Except no Democrats were prosecuted in the Trump era. The right accepts political opposition. The left criminalises it.  Same in Spain, the Netherlands, Italy, Israel and France, where prominent political figures all face criminal charges at the hands of the left-controlled magistrature.

US-backed right wing Colombian government is currently conducting a massacre against its own people. It's interesting that there's a noticeable silence among major human rights groups in news and social media like twitter. I wonder why.

Ah yes, I've seen quite a lot of articles talking about the protests and police brutality there, but not on big news websites indeed. Only on some obscure blogs like The New York Times, BBC, Reuters, CBS and a few others nobody has ever heard of.

There's more coverage on the death of Obama's dog over the ongoing violence in Colombia and Jerusalem. I guess there's no need for performative human rights activism since Colombia and Jerusalem is not in China.
