Navigating simultaneous racisms: intersecting experiences of in/visibility and antiracist strategies among Turkey-originated communities in Germany Racism is a pervasive part of migrant biographies, often assumed to work as a mobilizing force in antiracist struggles. However, drawing on the complex dynamics within Turkey-originated communities...

Skeptics of the Gaza genocide say: “If Israel wanted mass killing, it wouldn’t do it by shooting at food lines here and there.” But that logic ignores history. Humanitarian aid has long been weaponized — even as a key tool of genocidal warfare. A thread. 🧵

Beyond Shelter: The Promise and Challenges of Refugee Homestay Accommodation

However, there is a strong bias against hosting single male refugees, regardless of where they come from. Do you want to know the details? You can read the article here: rdcu.be/euy5o or can always contact me if you have access issues.

Beyond Shelter: The Promise and Challenges of Refugee Homestay Accommodation

Based on a survey experiment, we gauged the preferences of people who are willing (and signed up) to host refugees and found that there is room for extending the practice beyond the Ukrainians.

while still riding high from all the amazing exchances I had at the annual #IMISCOE conference in Auberviliers, our article with Liam Haller, Ramona Rischke & Sifka Etlar Frederiksen on the promise and pitfalls of #homestay accommodation for refugees is now published from #Voluntas.

as we see the discussions on constitution-making resurge in Turkey, I grieve once again where we could have been had the 2011-2013 process be succesful and not hijacked by the AKP. For those interested in what alliances were built, I suggest our book: www.cambridge.org/us/universit...

kind of stating the obvious but still important conclusion against the normalization of right-wing extremism in the mainstream debates.

Der sogenannte #Nachwuchs, das sind Leute wie ich. Ich bin 39. Seit 8 J. promoviert. In 1 anderen Leben hätte ich längst Kinder auf weiterführenden Schulen, festen Job, verlässliche Wohnsituation. Infantilisierung dient auch dazu, uns sowas zu versagen. Deshalb: Weg mit der Bezeichnung! #IchBinHanna

Millions of people were on the streets in Turkey, and they effectively halted the government's executive coup attempt. They will live to fight another day.
Only one person out of millions wore this outfit. Still, he captured something in the Orientalist Western psyche. +

This type of image is why Turkish pro-gov TV channels are airing cooking shows. Why independent TV stations got hit with broadcasting bans.

Images of today’s rally belie the government’s narrative that demonstrators are “marginal” upstarts engaged in “street terror.”

Day 6 of the #Turkey protests. This is from the Istanbul Teknik University Maçka.

Security locked the doors of the building to prevent the students from joining the demonstration outside.

Students started to climb out of the windows to join the protests.

I am still too enraged for sober analyses but my most important personal learning from Turkey’s descent to full authoritarianism is to never reduce democracy to electoral politics. CHP has done this mistake over&over again. Mobilization in any form & size is the strongest safeguard.

A self-coup happening in Turkey! Istanbul mayor and the man to beat Erdoğan--Ekrem İmamoğlu--is arrested. Social media restrictions and ban on demonstrations in place... Threatened by surging opposition, Erdoğan is taking advantage of geopolitics & going full authoritarian! 1/2

When no one is looking, Turkey's Erdogan accelerates his crackdown of all opposition and further entrenches authoritarianism in the country, detaining now Istanbul's mayor İ̇mamoğlu -the most likely presidential candidate-. Protests have been banned in Istanbul for 4 days. This looks grim..

Die TRANSMIT*-Ergebnisse aus Nigeria und Senegal zeigen: 

Menschen äußern häufiger den Wunsch zu migrieren, wenn sie daran glauben, dass ihnen trotz harter Arbeit der soziale Aufstieg im Herkunftsland verwehrt bleibt.

Auch externe Faktoren haben einen Einfluss auf Migration:

Klimawandel, 
Grenzregime, 
politische Rahmenbedingungen und 
kulturelle Aspekte.


Stetig verstärkende Klimakatastrophen (z.B. Dürren) wirken stärker auf den Wunsch zu migrieren, als plötzlich eintretende Katastrophen (z.B. heftige Regenfälle oder Erdrutsche).

I hope the upside of the nonsense that keeps coming out of JD Vance’s mouth would be to incentivise the EU to truly become more in solidarity with each other, to stop the current race to the bottom -especially when it comes to human rights- and show that an alternative to hatred is imaginable.
