Faeser muss Reise nach Damaskus abbrechen Zusammen mit Österreichs Innenminister wollte Nancy Faeser nach Damaskus fliegen.

Wenn du nach Syrien reisen willst, um über Abschiebungen von Menschen in dieses angeblich sichere Land zu verhandeln und die Reise abgebrochen wird, weil es die Sicherheitslage in Syrien nicht zulässt. Das Menschenrechtsverständnis der dt. Politik in a nutshell.

Democrats being more up in arms about the protocols of imperial warfare rather than the actual substance of it - the dead Yemenis and Palestinians - is so on brand. This is a losing strategy for everyone.

This seems like a good time to remind folks of what Hannah Arendt once wrote:

Es ist offiziell: Ich habe ein #Berufsverbot bekommen (Auszüge⬇️).
Weil ich eine marxistische Analyse der #Klimakrise vertrete. Ich stehe dazu: Die Wirtschaft muss demokratisiert werden, damit nicht einige wenige Superreiche für ihre Profite den Planeten zugrunde richten können.

Timely reminder that a decade prior to the WOT, guantanamo was used detain 12,000+ haitian refugees precisely in order to extraterritorially circumvent their access to the u.s. asylum procedure. The vast majority were denied asylum.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).

You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

Powerful front page from L'Humanité on Jean Marie Le Pen: 'His Profession Was Hatred'. The dagger pictured was recovered at the scene of the brutal torture and murder of Ahmed Moulay in Algiers in 1957. One of multiple pieces of evidence showing Le Pen was a torturer.

"Illegal" immigration politics in this country is about constructing and disciplining a workforce outside of the boundaries of the law. Neither party is interested in "solving" it because both like having a domestic Helot population for whom the law doesn't apply.

A few months ago some comrades and I put out a piece on Sudan’s counterrevolutionary war for which we interview 4 Sudanese and South Sudanese activists in Sudan/the region. We wanted to center the non-elitist, revolutionary voices of ppl who hve bn organizing agst the Sudanese state for decades.

Das war damals nach dem Bosnienkrieg genau gleich: Man hat nicht eine Sekunde gezögert nach dem letzten Schuss, und auch egal wie die individuelle Lage vor Ort für die Menschen war, um uns abzuschieben. Das ist also nicht eine neue Menschenverachtung, beeinflusst von Rechts, Deutschland IST so.

It took a year to scour every local office for every record of a migrant death on the Texas border w/Mexico. The results are devastating amid a Texas border crackdown. >1K drowned btwn 2017-23, many children. We tell the story of a 4yo lone survivor of a family drowned in the Rio Grande last year.

The Mystery of Food Deserts They didn’t materialize around the country for no reason. Something happened.

1. The conventional explanation for food deserts—that these places are too poor or too rural to generate enough spending on groceries, or too Black to overcome racist corporate redlining — fail to grapple with a key fact: food deserts didn’t used to exist. My new piece in The Atlantic.

The Sidewalk Fruit Vendor Who Sold a $6.2 Million Banana for 25 Cents A 74-year-old immigrant who works outside Sotheby’s shares a basement in the Bronx and works 12-hour shifts. He was stunned to hear what his banana went for at auction.

When I got to the end of this article, I found myself choking back angry tears. Cruel artists (artists of cruelty). And an even more sadistic class of journalists and readers, who revel in the fruit vendor's distress.
