The media is lying about events in Greece. Read these & support the people.
This is not so much a blog post than a collection of tweets from a good friend who resides in Athens. I’m posting it because people need to know about it. The more people who know about it, the better! So please share, email, re-blog, re-link, whatever.
These are posted in reverse chronological order because that is the way Twitter’s timeline works: the oldest are at the bottom, so start there and read upwards. It’s quite long; please stick with it to the end.
I suggest that if you want to stay informed, follow people who actually live in Athens. The timeline is updated every few minutes. This is merely a snapshot.

The vote in Athens is a Greek Tragedy, keeping the country imprisoned inside an unsuitable currency union and with unservicable debts.

Police at #Syntagma Sq brutally beating protesters indiscreetly while new austerity measures have been voted by Greek parliament.

Congratulations to the Greek government for voting for measures no average Greek will be able to cope with. I hope #comet Elenin lands on em

Another violent day at #Syntagma Sq, courtesy of the Greek government, the police & their provocateurs. Austerity reforms were voted = FAIL

Peaceful protesters have formed a human chain, hand in hand & are making the riot police retreat from the main square!
