Justice for Ibrahima Barry on Instagram: "18 Monate ohne Aufklärung von Ibrahima Barrys Tod." 108 likes, 0 comments - solikreis_justiceforibrahima on July 5, 2025: "18 Monate ohne Aufklärung von Ibrahima Barrys Tod.".

Ibrahima Barry war lange von #Abschiebung bedroht.

Heute vor 18 Monaten starb er bei einem Polizeieinsatz in #Mülheim an der Ruhr. Er wurde mit dem Taser beschossen. Die Staatsanwaltschaft #Duisburg schweigt. Der Solikreis "Justice für Ibrahima" erinnert.

Happy to see that people are expressing outrage about Frontex's disturbing children's literature on deportation.. an FOI I made last year about this is mentioned here

I also stumbled across this truly disturbing Frontex publication last year and made an FOI asking for correspondence about its creation: prd.frontex.europa.eu/document/cor... it doesn't reveal much, though, beyond how completely normal and routine the book's creators apparently seem to think it was

The AI Dragnet - Dissent Magazine The U.S. government is activating a suite of algorithmic surveillance tools, developed in concert with major tech companies, to monitor and criminalize immigrants’ speech.

The Trump administration has unleashed a massive domestic surveillance apparatus, thanks to AI systems supplied by major tech firms

I wrote about its origins and impact on the ground for @dissentmag.bsky.social and the @theintercept.com

How Big Tech hides its outsourced African workforce New data reveals the hidden network of African workers powering AI, as they push for transparency from the global companies that employ them indirectly.

“A new dataset, visualized as maps, reveals the extent to which African workers are indirectly employed in the tech sector, doing content moderation, customer service, and data annotation for AI models, among other jobs.”

We’re Harvard Professors Suing the Trump Administration. Here’s Why. | Opinion | The Harvard Crimson Universities are currently on the front lines of a battle for basic civil liberties. We must fight for the values — and the people — that define us. This lawsuit is a start.

The ICE arrests are meant to terrorize dissenters and crush the intellectual freedom that’s the whole point of universities—and the tactic is having its intended effect. Thanks to these professors for fighting back. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Thousands protest after Tufts grad student arrested by ICE, transferred out of state Rumeysa Ozturk, a Tufts PhD student, was transferred to Louisiana despite a court order to keep her in the state.

Everyone who speaks up makes it safer for others to do so. Everyone who stays silent makes it more dangerous for those who do speak up. The time is now folks.

He Sued Trump Over Free Speech. Then ICE Demanded He Turn Himself In. Cornell student Momodou Taal’s lawyers said the demand was “retribution” for his lawsuit against the crackdown on pro-Palestine speech.

Speak up for Momodou Taal. Your silence will not protect you.
Academics outside the US esp have a moral duty to publicly come out in support and organise. ICE will disappear Momodou Taal.
Your trips to the US can wait, seriously!
