👨‍⚖️Day 2 of the trial of the Catalan process in 10 quotes (and 12 tweets):

🔴Prosecution counsels respond

Public Prosecutor, Solicitor General of the State and private prosecution, far-right political party, Vox, in the Supreme Court
[Thread in English]

Javier Zaragoza, the Public Prosecutor, stated that this is “a trial in defence of Spanish democracy”:

“Their aim is to turn those who have severely fractured and broken the constitutional order into victims of political persecution.”
2
Zaragoza said that the defendants were not persecuted for their ideas, but for having “committed criminal acts”:

“It's a fallacy of colossal dimensions that must be shouted from the rooftops: nobody, none of the accused, not one is, or has been, persecuted for their ideas.”

How can the talks between the Spanish & the Catalans have broken down "before they even began"?
The Spanish government has rolled over to pressure from all sectors of Spanish nationalism, from the nominal left to the far far right, not to negotiate with Catalan independentists.

Pablo Casado (PP) and Albert Rivera (Ciudadanos) call to Spanish nationalism will be answered tomorrow in Columbus Square in Madrid by a toxic mix of pseudosocialists, neoliberals, ultraconservatives, fascists, fascist sympathisers, Falangists, Franco nostalgics and neonazis.

Spanish nationalists, Falangists, Fascists and Nazis rally against talks with Catalans:

Partido Popular, Ciudadanos, Vox, Hogar Social Madrid, Falange Española de las JONS, Alternativa Española, Democracia Nacional and España 2000 shoulder to shoulder on Sunday in Columbus Sq.

The Grandees of Sánchez's own party - PSOE leaders past and present - also protest against the talks with the Catalans.

Spanish Republicanism nowhere to be seen.

Wake up, Spain.

SHOCK!
Manuel Valls, carpetbagging candidate for the mayorship of the Catalan capital, will be in Columbus Square, too.

QUELLE SURPRISE!
Manuel Valls, candidat opportuniste à la mairie de la capitale catalane, sera à la Place Colomb lui aussi, con.

The Suffocation of Democracy

1/
As a historian specializing in the #Holocaust, #Nazi Germany, and #Europe in the era of the world wars, I have been repeatedly asked about the degree to which the current situation in the United States resembles the interwar period and the rise of #fascism in Europe.
2/
I would note several troubling similarities and one important but equally troubling difference.

In the 1920s, the US pursued #isolationism in foreign #policy and rejected participation in international organizations like the League of Nations.

Speaker is currently going over how police trainer Jim Grossman has misled the public, including lying about winning a Pulitzer. Grossman, who encourages officers to "increase killing", presents himself as a psychologist despite not being licensed as one unicornriot.ninja/2018/public-fo…
Grossman has told officers to turn "killing" "on and off like a faucet" but according to speakers at tonight's panel, he lacks the psychological training and knowledge to support his extreme claims about how officers' mentalities relate to police shootings unicornriot.ninja/2018/public-fo…
Quotes from fear-based #police trainers Dave Grossman (Killology Research), Jim Glennon (Calibre Press), & Bill Lewinski (Force Science) adorned the walls of the public forum on police education in #Minneapolis.
