I've been posting/retweeting from Catalyna all of yesterday via #birbsite on the #CatalanReferendum.
I notice here - the conversation has been more muted.
Has everyone seen the horrific police violence against voters here? Any Europeans in particular?
@samtoland latinamerican, and it is just disappointing. (Specially seeing the Franco/Cara al Sol thing in Madrid and simultaneously the oppression in Cataluña)
@samtoland been doing here a bit via #catalonia but not to many tooted or boosted.
violence, shure I have seen it. was really bad.
If you haven't heard this interview:

I can recomend it. It was before the referendum but gives some insights from anarchist perspective.
Also this investigative video about fraud, corruption...and so on from the spanish goverment.

@samtoland also, as more ppl will use mastodon to toot about current events, as more ppl might join doing so. ;-)
@samtoland Of course. I noticed the same. I followed it a lot more closely on twitter where I keep better track of politics in Barcelona.
@samtoland It's horrific. The true colours of the PP on display.
@samtoland I've seen the violence (against many, notably firefighters), but over here, we're also dealing with terrible news from Puerto Rico and Las Vegas, and also everything Trump says or does.
@samtoland I'm in the US, but I've been seeing videos and pictures, and reading the stories. It has been enraging...
