1/3 This testimony describes a pushback from Croatia to Bosnia on the 16th of October 2023. Nature is weaponized to directly inflict harm against people on the move, while allowing authorities to evade accountability.

Our UN Advocacy coordinator Kirsten was representing BVMN at the International Migration Review Forum this year. This is only the second that the Forum is convening - this time at the UN Headquarters in New York.

Last month, researcher Dan Schoolar presented findings from his research into border technologies in Serbia as part of the "Invisible Borders" project, funded by the Svenska Postkodlotteriets Stiftelse (Swedish postcode lottery foundation). www.invisibleborders.org

How to build a deadly border: Deaths in border rivers remote forests and mountains are not isolated incidents but the result of policies that deliberately weaponize hostile landscapes against people on the move. (1/3)

4/8 Satellite images show the emergence of the towers between 2020 and 2024, in many locations next to existing observation towers. Pylons equipped with cameras and radars monitor movement both in the territory of Iran and the Van borderland. The system also includes seismic sensors.

5/8 Since 2018, interventions by the Turkish state have radically changed the landscape. Ditches, 3-metres deep and surrounded by barbed wire, appeared in the late 2010s. More were dug in parallel with the wall. At places, satellite imagery shows up to four rows of ditches.

1/5 Our research suggests that people on the move are pushed towards “mine-suspected” areas during crossings and Pushbacks.

1/2 Last month, our United Nations Advocacy Coordinator spoke at a panel titled "Protecting Migrants’ Rights at Borders" organised by the @fesonline.bsky.social on the margins of the 59th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council. These were his closing remarks.

7/8 The wall, 3m high and 2.8m wide, is made of concrete blocks transported to the border and is topped with barbed wire. Built after other infrastructures, it takes on unusual shapes in some areas where it surrounds pre-existing surveillance pylons and observation towers.

6/8 The construction of the wall began in 2021 in the Çaldıran district and moved southwards to the districts of Özalp, Saray, and Başkale. By 2026, it covered 204 km out of the 295 km border with Iran. Over 220 km of roads were built to support access to the wall and patrolling.

Italy has 78 percent recidivism. But for prisoners who work with social co-ops? It drops to 2 percent. The data speaks for itself. https://youtu.be/9BrlM57q9U0 #SocialCoops #RMEOC

Pro-Palestinian tourists call out ex-IOF Israeli soldiers in a restaurant in Vietnam after spotting one of their tattoos in the shape of Palestine and then continue to remind them of their genocidal behavior until they’re forced to leave.

“Trump appeared to signal prior awareness of a Johnson–Farage electoral alignment in 2019, praising them as an ‘unstoppable force’. Shortly afterwards, the Brexit Party withdrew from 317 Tory-held seats — a pivotal moment in the election.”

A lot of people are very cynical about whether voting makes a difference, and they're not always wrong to feel that way. But elections do have big consequences for your daily life - just ask folks up in Vance county. 🚰

we see alot about shopping small during the holiday season, and it is often framed as simply helping out the little guy... but i think its also important to frame it in the context of witholding our resources from the billionaire class. #smallbusiness #handmade #betterfuture #solidarity #boycott

Really small one in the Anarchy match last year. Willow drops her straps to show she's wearing the same Big, Black, and Jacked shirt as Hobbs is (itself Hobbs old merch). And then he immediately tears his off, passing that mantle to her. Gotta hand it to him. He built bridges on his way out.

Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day. The earliest took place in SC on May 1, 1865, when formerly enslaved African Americans reburied soldiers & decorated their graves. A chapter of American history that was omitted from history books. 📚 🇺🇸 #MemorialDay #DecorationDay #BlackHistory

If our governor is so worried about prison population management, I have a bill he can sign. A lighter sentence for Tina Peters just gives a green light to the Trump administration to further attack our democracy.

📣 WELCOME TO THE MINDSET ECONOMY The Mindset Economy is emerging as the next major economic shift. Beyond the Industrial, Service, and Knowledge Economies, a new global economy is taking shape – defined not by what can be automated, but by what only humans can bring.

Open competition for power in our politics has its downside. We need some countervailing institutions to slow the rise of psychopaths to the top and to focus democracy on what kind of future we want rather than on which memes can be got to fly.
