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.

1/4 New Report Out Today! The Croatian-Bosnian border has become a site of frequent border deaths, with many drowning in rivers and others going missing in mountainous and forested areas. This is not a coincidence but the result of deliberate weaponization of a hostile borderscape.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

There’s a reason Trump had his primetime meltdown. Polls have Trump’s approval at a second-term low of 36%, his approval among independents in the 20s, and his support among Republicans falling. This is the fear response of a politically weak, lame-duck president as his movement begins to unravel.

The government expecting to find Dorothy Andor out here, lol.

Americans on rising gas prices: "$8! We might as well get a horse... I'm a little worried. We already are paying more in the grocery store. We're paying more than we were paying before at the gas pump." And Americans are paying more for health insurance or have dropped it bc they can’t afford it!

We've seen the largest attack on multiracial democracy in a generation as well as their assault on women, girls, LGBTQ community. Now we're seeing the assault on civil rights and voting rights. An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. Each of us needs to step up and do our part.

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.
