I was planning to later release some details on how far the US government went against my peers around the world and myself.

As it turns out a couple of these details have become public knowledge. While the Americans where screaming "Russia!" and "Election Meddling" they (..)
(..) were the actual meddlers. From before we know of the CIA publicly promising to mess up the UK Labor Party.

After getting near total control over @Twitter they used that position to take out a very large account supporting human rights, in #Catalonia and everywhere else.
In this context, the Pirate Party of Catalonia gets an honorable mention, as their account have been throttled hard. I'm thinking the Americans did the Madrid fascists a favor by silencing the Catalan peoples voices.

In #Norway, the Americans simply canceled all election ()

This is a thread on the curious #catalangate and on the presumed espionage of separatist leaders in Catalonia. First a disclaimer: I do not intend to defend in any way the Spanish secret services, whose in my view either for action or omission have contributed to the scandal 1/ ImageImageImageImage

#Catalunya és un país extremadament ric en #patrimoni #arqueològic #protohistòric. Molt més que altres nacions reconegudes arreu pel seu patrimoni i que, a més, l’estimen, el valoren i en viuen, com poden ser el cas d’#Anglaterra o d’#Escòcia.

(little heritage phil...) Image
El patrimoni protohistòric d'aquestes altres nacions, tot i ser extraordinari és, al costat del nostre, de putxinel·lis. I, malgrat això, ells l’han sabut convertir intel·ligentment en un actiu cultural i econòmic (òbviament, Image
sumant-lo a la resta del seu #heritage d’altres èpoques) mentre que nosaltres, sempre capaços de les majors de les proeses, l’hem sabut convertir (no era pas fàcil, atenent a la qualitat del que tenim entre mans...) i el vivim com un problema. Image

⬛️⬜️ When the #US Department of State publishes a report dealing w/ #Spanish abuses of the #Catalan national minority, political prisoners & the increase in hate speech vs Catalans, the Spanish “internal affair” is already too big to try and hide it.(THREAD)

Catalan MEPs who have just lost their EP parliamentary immunity holding presser now.

Nice historical reference from @ClaraPonsati on Spanish extradition attempts: “Spanish armadas have a tendency to have problems in Flanders”

(Lest we forget, Belgium used to be part of Spain). Image
#Puigdemont says he will appeal the European Parliament’s vote with the European Court of Justice, on procedural grounds.

The key question is whether the loss of immunity will change the rulings of Belgian courts who have so far denied Spain’s extradition requests. Image
More context and background on this case here, with the wider implications for #Catalonia's place in the European Union.

Existeix un molt mal costum en arqueologia protohistòrica, dels #Pirineus cap a baix: quan no tenim prou dades arqueològiques (cosa que no és pas infreqüent) rellegim la #Ilíada. El dia que deixem de fer això, farem millor la nostra feina.

Meanwhile in #France,
"the peak of this second wave is over"

(according to the President in his Adress to the Nation):
Wait... "the peak is over" doesn´t mean "it´s back to normal"!

Confinement will only fall on December 15,
if there´s less than 5.000 new cases a day.
(today it´s ~9.000).

France is disappointed.🙁

Although they certainly can make it happen.
Meanwhile in #Switzerland:
(excess mortality of the second wave is significant)

Good news: fastest decrease in infections happens in the worst hit areas now.

As #COVID19 cases are found to spread, #Melbourne (city of ~5 million) tries to contain them by going into #Lockdown.
(The interview features the idea of a dedicated #Quarantine building - that would actually help, I guess)...
"People acting as if the pandemic was over was 'not the answer, it is part of the problem' ".

"The virus had leaked from postcodes already under the stay-at-home orders to other parts of #Melbourne."
(and beyond, it is feared).
Due to #Melbourne's outbreak, neighbouring South Australia is about to completely close it's borders to #Victoria.

(Nearly) no exceptions. And those essential few who are allowed in, will have to wear facemasks the entire time...

Vorpommern-Greifswald district (where rejections of #Gütersloh residents took place, yesterday)
has specific rules:
"Those who return from international risk areas (out of Germany) or whose Corona-Warning App has alerted them, need to report to authorites"
kreis-vg.de Image
In fact, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's Corona-ordinance really prohibits entry of people from international risk areas AND german risk areas as well.
It's just not prominently featured on their websites.

(Overlooked that myself, hence deleted earlier tweet)

Aquest és el poema recitat per la nostra estimada Carme Sansa:

Desconfiaré sempre de qui no respecti la meva llengua. Perquè, en fer-ho, demostra que no em respecta a mi, i alhora que no respecta un bé cultural essencial.
Desconfiaré sempre de qui no trobi normal el seu ús institucional i simbòlic, perquè no troba normal la meva realitat cultural i perquè a sobre es pensa que té dret a decidir què és la normalitat, i curiosament la normalitat és ell, i no jo.
Desconfiaré sempre de qui digui que el meu problema no és real, perquè em menysté a mi i perquè es creu amb el poder de decidir què és real, i casualment també ho és ell, i no jo.
