This goes hard

Extremely long tweet by Colombian president Gutavo Petro, auto-translated from Spanish. Continued in next post.

Trump, I don't really like traveling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some worthy things, I like going to the black neighborhoods of Washington, there I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like bullshit to me, because they should unite. I confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller. I confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, in the history of the US, are memorable and I follow them.

I don't like your oil, Trump, you are going to end the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a shot of whiskey, which I accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I am not, nor is any Colombian.

Libraries & librarians have never been more important. If we care about the future, we must make sure every school, every community, every child has access to a library & a librarian. And we have to give them all our support, so they can do their vital work, which benefits us ALL! #SaveLibraries
