    #DemocracyNow, December 04, 2025

    "Amid escalating #ICERaids in #NewYorkCity, Democracy Now!’s Messiah Rhodes spoke to #immigrants and advocates supporting newly arrived #migrants and asylum seekers from West Africa with hot meals, legal advice and job training. 'When I help the people here, the people will help me one day,' Guinean immigrant Abdul Karim, a cook at #Cafewal weekday kitchen, told Rhodes.

    "Murad Awawdeh, of the #NewYorkImmigrationCoalition and a member of New York City Mayor-elect #ZohranMamdani’s transition team, also comments. He shares how the incoming mayoral administration can work to protect immigrants from Trump’s #AntiImmigrant agenda."

  8. An oxymoron from an actual moron

    #Trump vowed on Thanksgiving to “permanently pause” #immigration from poorer nations in a blistering late-night, #AntiImmigrant screed posted to social media.

    The extended rant came in the wake of the Wednesday shooting of two National Guard members who were deployed to patrol Washington, D.C. under Trump’s orders, one of whom died….

  9. #Protesters Clash with #ICE Agents Again in the #TwinCities

    #Trump’s popularity has hit its lowest point thus far this term, thanks to widespread #EconomicHardship and Trump’s entanglement in the #EpsteinFiles. As federal agencies expand their #AntiImmigrant operations around the country this week—targeting #NorthCarolina, #Louisiana, and #Mississippi — and people weigh how to respond, a great deal hangs in the balance.

    A Firsthand Report
    2025-11-18

    "On the morning of November 18, news circulated that federal agents were gathered in St. Paul, Minnesota, presumably to carry out a raid attacking immigrants. Hundreds of people rapidly assembled to surround and impede them. Below, we present an account from a front-line participant."

  10. A Russian asset: Trump’s policy behavior confirms evidence he was groomed by the Kremlin since the 1980s

    The “Kyiv Independent” published an explosive interview on February 26 that torched any lingering doubt about President Donald Trump’s deep ties to Russian intelligence

    Posted by Insights | Mar 8, 2025

    Excerpt: "Many Americans once dismissed reports of #Trump’s ties to Russian intelligence as wild conspiracy theories. Yet [#CraigUnger]’s findings, presented in his books 'House of Trump, House of #Putin' and '#AmericanKompromat,' outline a consistent chain of events stretching back more than 40 years.

    "Soviet operatives, later replaced by Russian #oligarchs, funneled suspicious cash into Trump’s real estate deals and played upon his narcissistic vanity. Over time, the strategy shaped Trump’s worldview to align seamlessly with the Kremlin’s long-term interests. Today, Russia reaps enormous gains as the White House methodically undermines Western unity, weakening NATO, and eroding confidence among America’s most vital allies.

    "The pattern was on full display during Trump’s U.N. address, where he castigated Ukraine for 'bringing its troubles on itself' and chided Europe for failing to 'handle its own backyard.'

    "In those remarks, he reversed decades of bipartisan consensus that the United States should confront unprovoked aggression in Europe. Instead of backing a nation under siege, Trump effectively blamed Kyiv’s government for the devastation wrought by Russian firepower.

    "Putin’s state media wasted no time broadcasting those segments, painting the U.S. president as an enlightened leader who recognizes the Kremlin’s alleged right to expand its sphere of influence.

    "Unger’s new revelations sent shockwaves through Washington circles. Once portrayed by supporters as a patriotic firebrand, Trump now looks more like a Trojan horse carefully cultivated by Russian intelligence. The journalist’s interview with the Kyiv Independent highlighted key phases of infiltration: financial bailouts for Trump when U.S. banks shunned him, orchestrated praise from Russian figures, and direct contact with individuals linked to the KGB’s successor services.

    "The result, Unger insisted, was a president whose foreign policy systematically furthers Moscow’s objectives — even if he never receives direct orders. In intelligence parlance, that is the very definition of an 'asset.'

    "Those who scoff at the notion that a sitting U.S. president could be co-opted by a foreign power willfully ignore reams of evidence. Unger references KGB files showing that Soviet handlers identified Trump’s egotism and business desperation as exploitable weaknesses. They recognized that lavish deals, flattery, and carefully timed loans could bind him to Russian interests."

  11. The unexpected relationship between U.S. #evangelicals and #RussianOrthodox

    Under #Trump and #Putin a strange alliance gets stranger.

    by John P. Burgess, August 15, 2018

    Except: "The alliance between the Russian Orthodox Church and the #BillyGraham Evangelistic Association has been especially significant. In 2015, #Metro­politanHilarion invited Franklin Gra­ham to Moscow, where he had private audiences with #PatriarchKirill and Putin. Graham later thanked the patriarch for the Russian Orthodox Church’s 'strong voice in the defense of moral values' and lauded Putin for defending biblical values 'from the attacks of secularism.' Graham further asserted that many Americans wished that someone like Putin could be their president, and he praised Russia for passing #antigay propaganda laws.

    "The visit bore more than rhetorical fruit. Graham announced that Samari­tan’s Purse, a ministry of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, would cooperate with the Russian Orthodox Church in providing material assistance to people fleeing violence and war in eastern Ukraine, where Russia has supported an insurgency against the U.S.-supported Ukrainian government."

    Germany is now leading the charge on #Europe’s AntiImmigration turn

    #ChancellorMerz’s new hardline course promises to accelerate the EU’s #rightward pivot on migration as the bloc prepares to implement tough measures.

    By Nette Nöstlinger

    BERLIN — "Past German governments sought to temper Europe’s most hardline impulses on migration. Now, under Chancellor #FriedrichMerz, Berlin is vying to lead Europe’s anti-immigration charge.

    "The stark shift in Germany’s migration stance under its new government promises to accelerate the EU’s #HardRight turn on migration as the bloc prepares to implement a series of new measures aimed at drastically reducing the number of asylum seekers entering Europe — and #deporting more of those who do make it. As European leaders negotiate on how to put these measures into place, those from some of the EU’s most hardline countries are welcoming Germany’s new role.

    " 'Germany is leading in some of these very important talks,' Kaare Dybvad, #Denmark’s immigration minister, told POLITICO. 'We’re happy about that.'

    "In a highly symbolic example of how Germany’s government is now seeking to propel Europe’s migration shift rather than moderate it, Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt recently hosted counterparts from several European countries with tough migration stances — including #Austria, Denmark and #Poland — on his country’s highest mountain in the Bavarian Alps, the Zugspitze, adorned at its summit with a golden cross.

    " 'We want to make it clear that Germany is no longer in the brakeman’s cab when it comes to migration issues in Europe but is part of the driving force,' Dobrindt said at an elevation of nearly 3,000 meters.

    "That message is being received well in #Brussels [#Belgium].

    " 'If Germany contributes more, becomes more committed, that’s very, very positive, because we’ll simply make progress faster,' EU Migration Commissioner Magnus Brunner told POLITICO from the sidelines of the summit in #Bavaria. 'And that’s why I’m very pleased that the German government has chosen this path and is also strongly supporting the Commission in implementing the things we’ve put forward.'

    "Germany’s new willingness to lead Europe’s anti-immigration front removes one key obstacle preventing European countries from enacting policy proposals that were until recently deemed beyond the pale. Those include plans to deport migrants to third countries and to process asylum claims outside the EU, copying the #UK’s failed #Rwanda scheme, which Merz previously praised as 'something we could emulate.'

    "While Germany’s migration shift began under its previous left-leaning government, Merz’s coalition, under rising pressure from the anti-immigration #AlternativeForGermany (#AfD) — now the largest opposition party in Germany’s Bundestag — is taking a far harder course to stem the defection of conservative voters to the far right."

  16. #BorderPatrol Wants Advanced #AI to #Spy on American Cities

    A U.S. Border Patrol “Industry Day” deck also asks for #drones, seismic sensors, and tech that can see through walls.

    by Sam Biddle
    July 23 2025

    Excerpt: "U.S. Customs and Border Protection, flush with billions in new funding, is seeking 'advanced AI' technologies to surveil urban residential areas, increasingly sophisticated #autonomous systems, and even the ability to see through walls.

    "A CBP presentation for an 'Industry Day' summit with private sector vendors, obtained by The Intercept, lays out a detailed wish list of tech CBP hopes to purchase, like satellite connectivity for #SurveillanceTowers along the #border and improved radio communications. But it also shows that state-of-the-art, AI-augmented surveillance technologies will be central to the Trump administration’s #AntiImmigrant campaign, which will extend deep into the interior of the North American continent, hundreds of miles from international borders as commonly understood.

    "The recent passage of Trump’s sprawling flagship legislation funnels tens of billions of dollars to the #DepartmentOfHomelandSecurity. While much of that funding will go to Immigration and Customs Enforcement to bolster the administration’s arrest and deportation operations, a great deal is earmarked to purchase new technology and equipment for federal offices tasked with preventing immigrants from arriving in the first place: Customs and Border Protection, which administers the country’s border surveillance apparatus, and its subsidiary, the U.S. Border Patrol.

    "One page of the presentation, describing the wishlist of Border Patrol’s Law Enforcement Operations Division, says the agency needs '#AdvancedAI to identify and track suspicious activity in urban environment [sic],' citing the 'challenges' posed by 'Dense residential areas.' What’s considered '#SuspiciousActivity' is left unmentioned.
    Customs and Border Protection did not respond to questions posed about the slides by The Intercept."

But it also shows that state-of-the-art, AI-augmented surveillance technologies will be central to the Trump administration’s #AntiImmigrant campaign, which will extend deep into the interior of the North American continent, hundreds of miles from international borders as commonly understood.

    "The recent passage of Trump’s sprawling flagship legislation funnels tens of billions of dollars to the #DepartmentOfHomelandSecurity. While much of that funding will go to Immigration and Customs Enforcement to bolster the administration’s arrest and deportation operations, a great deal is earmarked to purchase new technology and equipment for federal offices tasked with preventing immigrants from arriving in the first place: Customs and Border Protection, which administers the country’s border surveillance apparatus, and its subsidiary, the U.S. Border Patrol.

    "One page of the presentation, describing the wishlist of Border Patrol’s Law Enforcement Operations Division, says the agency needs '#AdvancedAI to identify and track suspicious activity in urban environment [sic],' citing the 'challenges' posed by 'Dense residential areas.' What’s considered '#SuspiciousActivity' is left unmentioned.
    Customs and Border Protection did not respond to questions posed about the slides by The Intercept."

  21. #Japan’s #FarRight party makes electoral gains with anti-globalist message

    Japan’s #Sanseito party wins big with ‘#JapaneseFirst’ push and #AntiImmigration rhetoric.

    20 Jul 2025

    Excerpt: "Japan’s far-right Sanseito party has emerged as a major winner in the country’s upper house election, riding a wave of #nationalist rhetoric, anti-immigration warnings and populist pledges on tax cuts and social welfare.

    "Once seen as a fringe movement born on YouTube during the COVID-19 pandemic, Sanseito was projected on Sunday by national broadcaster NHK to secure up to 22 seats in the 248-member chamber, dramatically expanding its presence beyond the single seat it held previously.

    "The party, which only holds three seats in the more powerful lower house, has broken into the political mainstream by capitalising on voter frustration over economic decline and rising living costs.

    "Sanseito leader #SoheiKamiya, a 47-year-old former English teacher and supermarket manager, has been at the forefront of this shift. He has stirred controversy with conspiracy theories about vaccines and 'globalist elites' and openly credits US President #DonaldTrump’s 'bold political style' as inspiration.

    "According to an exit poll by local media, Japan’s governing coalition is likely to lose its majority in the upper house where it is forecast to secure 32 to 51 seats.
    #JapanFirst’ movement

    "In an interview with Nippon Television after the election, #Kamiya defended his 'Japanese First' slogan.

    " 'The phrase was meant to express rebuilding Japanese people’s livelihoods by resisting globalism. I am not saying we should completely ban foreigners or that every foreigner should get out of Japan,' he said.

    "Despite his denial of #xenophobia, Sanseito has built its platform on fears of a 'silent invasion' by #immigrants. Political analysts say this message resonates with many Japanese voters facing a stagnant economy and weakening yen, which has drawn record numbers of tourists and fuelled inflation."

    From Tokyo to Turin to LA, Trump’s policies loom over May Day marches

    By YURI KAGEYAMA and THOMAS ADAMSON, May 1, 2025

    PARIS (AP) — "French union leaders condemned the “#Trumpization” of world politics, while in Italy, #MayDay protesters paraded a puppet of the American president through the streets of Turin.

    "Across continents, tens of thousands turned out for Thursday’s rallies marking International Workers’ Day, many citing President Donald Trump’s agenda — from aggressive tariffs spurring fears of global economic turmoil to immigration crackdowns — as a central concern.

    "In the United States, organizers said this year’s protests aimed to push back against efforts to roll back protections for immigrants, federal workers and diversity initiatives.

    "In #Germany, union leaders warned that extended workdays and rising #AntiImmigrant sentiment were dismantling labor protections. And in Bern, #Switzerland, thousands marched behind banners denouncing #fascism and war — part of a wider backlash against the global surge of #HardRight politics.

    "In #Taiwan, President Lai Ching-te referenced new U.S. tariffs under Trump as he promoted a proposed spending bill aimed at stabilizing the job market and supporting livelihoods. In the #Philippines, protest leader Mong Palatino warned that 'tariff wars and policies of Trump' threatened local industries.

    "In #Japan, Trump’s image loomed over the day quite literally, as a truck in the Tokyo march carried a doll made to resemble him. There, participants’ demands ranged from higher wages and gender equality to health care, disaster relief, a ceasefire in #Gaza and an end to #Russia’s invasion of #Ukraine.

    " 'For our children to be able to live with hope, the rights of #workers must be recognized,' said Junko Kuramochi, a member of a mothers’ group in Tokyo."

  28. At least 200,000 protesters rally in Munich against #FarRight #AfD ahead of German election

    February 8, 2025

    MUNICH, Germany (AP) — "More than 200,000 protesters rallied in Munich, Germany, on Saturday against #FarRightExtremism ahead of the country’s #GeneralElection.

    "The far-right, #AntiImmigrant #AlternativeForGermany, or AfD, is in second place in recent polls and has prompted widespread protests across the country before voters cast their ballots on #February23.

    "The protest at Munich’s Theresienwiese — where Oktoberfest takes place each year — brought a significantly larger crowd than expected, according to the German dpa news agency. The event’s organizer estimated the crowd could be up to 320,000 people, many of whom carried signs against the AfD with slogans like, '#Racism and #hatred is not an alternative.'

    "The protest was supported by #ActivistGroups as well as the #MunichFilmFestival, #churches and Munich soccer clubs FC Bayern and TSV 1860, among others. Police told dpa that the demonstration was peaceful.

    "Similar #protests attracted large crowds on Saturday in #HanoverGermany, #RostockGermany, and elsewhere in Germany, mirroring other demonstrations that have occurred across the country in recent weeks."
