Turns out, the Next Revolution will NOT be televised....it will be tweeted.
For the past 3 weeks my main source of information regarding Daniel Ortega’s changes to the Social Secuirty contributions and the resulting actions of “Orteguistas”, “Ortega Youth” (scarier), UPOLI students, Viejeros, Hooligans, and everyone in between has been #SOSNicaragua on twitter. Now, that’s great because our forward-thinking (read as stuck in the 70s mindset and forgot that the peeps have smart phones now....with cameras! Amazing!) did shut down the television stations, kick an American journalist out of the country for being a CIA Insider (more on that later) and (just today) decided it would be a swell idea to promote “Eating, Drinking Liquor and Dancing” as an official response to protests (I think he borrowed that idea from me actually).
So, if you are looking for hot news, video, audio, live feed, propaganda and some bad ass drunken-street-dance-fighting....look no further than Twitter. Our new news! Oh joy.
I’d love to out a great photo here but cannot.... more on that later!
