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.
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.
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.

1/8 From the late 2000s to the mid-2010s, the Turkish state built new military outposts, known as kalekol, and new observation towers equipped with surveillance technologies. The satellite images show the emergence of a kalekol in the Çaldıran district between 2010 and 2015.
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)

As #JohnLewis taught us: don’t despair — get in some good trouble to protect our right to vote. Today's ruling in Virginia is a setback. But it's also our call to organize, mobilize and elect leaders that will pass voting protections and protect Democracy from #Trump.

David Cronenberg’s The Brood (1979) is an early example of the themes and ideas that would later define his work. The film mixes psychological drama with physical horror in a way that became strongly associated with Cronenberg’s cinema: the so called “body horror”.
We know budget repair is needed to reduce the high interest costs Australia is paying on national debt, but Australians are already doing it tough & cutting income support would only hurt those most vulnerable. A 25% gas export tax is a modest proposal for the use of our national resources.

A day will come when Donald Trump no longer dominates our politics. Even though this is obvious, it’s hard to keep in mind. The future will belong to those who can think clearly about what happens next.
