This, and the way the US army is killing Venezuelan (and Colombian) fishermen (drug dealers according to them) against international laws (and without any demonstrated evidence).

And it’s probably a “coincidence” that most “refugees” entering the US now are white (Afrikaners).

I increasingly think that these people not only don’t care about it, but the death of people of color is probably a good news for them. They are white supremacists and they know what they are doing !

The US government is engaged in a policy program of mass exclusion.

It is not a ‘crackdown’—which means strict enforcement against lawbreakers.

It seeks to exclude refugees, students, and family members immigrating lawfully, and to exclude US citizens smeared as undesirable.

Not a ‘crackdown’.

Tweet from the official account of the US Dept. of Homeland Security: “Remigrate”

Easy opportunity for any journalist speaking to any immigration official of the US government:

Ask, “Can you please define the term, ‘remigration’?”

The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands The short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Trump officials crafting rule to prevent asylum-seekers from getting work permits The Trump administration is considering a regulation that would prevent most asylum-seekers from getting work permits.

The US Administration is preparing to issue a new rule restricting employment authorization for asylum-seekers.

It's unclear now exactly what form that will take. But @cbsnews.com reported in June that the new policy may indefinitely, categorically ban new work permits for all asylum seekers—>

It is now the policy of the United States government to invade any country on earth under the pretext of protecting Christians (but no other ethnic group).

It is the policy of the United States to “cherish” Christians (but members of no other faith).

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.

When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

Trump Considers Overhaul of Refugee System That Would Favor White People

Selecting US immigrants based on their race, or on their (Left or Right) political views, is illegal and a betrayal.

Our refugee program is an expression of our humanitarian values and, for many sponsors, a profound expression of their faith. It is not a plaything for ethno-nationalist extremists.

In this new paper, I analyse how #HumanMobility affects resilience in #LatinAmerica & the #Caribbean.

I show how to build #resilience through policy recommendations aimed at minimizing the potential risks of #migration & #displacement, while maximizing their #development impact.

Former USAID official here.

The current Administration has done zero impact analysis to estimate the effects of its obliteration of USAID on deaths around the world.

It just keeps saying "no one has died" as a mesmeric incantation.

The facts, below. 🧵

The numbers say H-1Bs raise wages, boost patents, and drive productivity.

The story is that H-1Bs aren’t just “workers”—they’re engines of innovation. They're the strivers who crossed the ocean, and brought their fresh new ideas with them.

The reason I don't believe you understand the second amendment is because of how obvious it is that you've never read the first.

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power.

This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

You can write this only if, by virtue of your income, identity, or both, you are utterly removed from the consequences of politics. To pretend that the racist, misogynistic, anti-gay vileness that Kirk spent his life spreading is secondary to the fact that he spread it "the right way" is appalling.
