#refugee — Public Fediverse posts

Cognitive Dissidence
=================

Obama sold us #Obamacare and #healthcare went from complicated & expensive, to complicated, expensive, & mandatory.

Government subsidies ended.
Net result: healthcare is worse than before.

There were some benefits to Obamacare, or it would not have passed at all. Some people benefited, though for most others it made #healthcare worse.

People: "We want #UniversalHealthCoverage ! healthcare is too expensive."

Obama: "I will ensure that everyone has healthcare."

People: "Hooray! Obama cares."

Obama: "Now everyone is REQUIRED to have health insurance."

People: "And the government will pay for it, right?"

Obama: "..."

People: "... right?"

Obama: "No, but your preexisting conditions will be covered."

People: "Yay!!!"

Obamacare subsidies were set to expire, in his plan. Obama handed his opponents a ticking time bomb before leaving office.

Trump just didn't renew this crock of a plan, because he is too busy doing other evil shit.

Trump is a daylight robber.
Obama was a midnight thief.
Poor people got clobbered,
electing either, as chief.

Mandatory health insurance means more money for the "healthcare industry".

Remember the 2008 market crash that wiped out millions of Americans out of their retirement savings and 401-K? There was corruption behind the scenes, and big insiders made money. It was Obama who stopped that investigation, and it was sneakily moved out of the news cycle.

He fooled the masses with charm and attraction.
Propaganda is a weapon of mass distraction.

Watch what he do.
Ignore what he say.
Connect the dots
and follow de monay!

I used to laugh at the people who said, "Both sides are the same."

In 2023, I was a programmer with federal clearance, working for the US Department of Veterans Affairs, through #AccentureFederalServices , through a contractor ( #GrayDigital ), when I called out corruption & became a government #whistleblower

I have been #homeless since 2023, hounded by the law, a dozen rides in the back of cop cars, usually handcuffed. Kicked out of hospitals, banks, libraries, stores, & buses. 5 arrests ( 4 under #Biden, 1 under #Trump ), faced #police brutality, spent 6 nights in jail. The last arrest was extrajudicial, and I was not even brought before a judge, just told to go away.

I slept outdoors in winters without warm clothes, in muddy orchards, in rain, on cold concrete city pavements, in sweltering heat. I was denied public defense in #courts, though I told judges I was homeless and food insecure. I fought in court, representing myself, while homeless. All charges were dropped. It was whistleblower intimidation. I had committed no crimes. I was assaulted in the streets by the security guard of a #Catholic charity. I have eaten out of garbage cans, & several times, gone hungry for 2-3 days at a time.

In December 2025, Ioved to #Tokyo to avoid persecution, though it followed me here. I'm homeless and hungry here as well, probably because the #Japanese government is reluctant to grant me #political #asylum.

Every #Refugee Assistance Organization I contacted in Tokyo has turned me away.

Sonia is Alia’s boss and the chief of police in Sequoia. Not only does she have to rally her staff to solve the seemingly insolvable murders but also find a way to maintain the increasingly fragile peace in the city. She is #climate #refugee from #Bangladesh

Sara is responsible for the 2nd murder in Sequoia. She is training to be a nurse and wants to spend the rest of her life helping people in need. But circumstances force her to behave in ways that she had never imagined she was capable of. She is #climate #refugee from #Sudan

Here’s my story:

I was a programmer with federal clearance, who could not bear to see US veterans homeless and hungry, while corporate executives and bureaucrats siphoned money meant to help those very veterans.

So I turned #whistleBlower in 2023, against #AccentureFederalServices and the US Department of Veterans Affairs.

Then suddenly the whole system suddenly came down on me.

I got thrown out of my apartment, hospitals, banks, libraries, buses, stores. Hounded by the authorities. A dozen or so rides in the back of cop cars, usually handcuffed. Arrested 5 times, brutalized by cops, spent 6 nights in jail. I was denied public defense throughout, even though I repeatedly told the judges and public defenders, that I was homeless and food insecure.

I represented myself in court, persistently, till all charges were dropped. They never had a case to begin with. It was all an attempt at whistleblower intimidation, at trying to wear me out.

I have been homeless since 2023, except for a few months. Finally moved to #Japan in December 2025. The persecution followed me here, and I am still homeless, and have subsisted on meager rations. I have had to go without food, several days at a time, a few times.

I have applied for political #asylum here. Every #refugee assistance organization here in #Tokyo has turned me away.

I broke my shoulder bone, that has joined wrong, since I have not had proper medical care since 2023. My body is in pain. My teeth need attention. I lost my glasses in 2023.

Persecution has continued, and I have persisted.

Eventually, I will have so many people to sue, it boggles the mind. Cops, public defenders, public prosecutor, judges, government officials, private companies, etc.

Here’s my website, giving an account of persecution in the USA:

I would appreciate it if this story reaches an honest journalist.

Please boost for reach.

@Franklington Well, the opponents get locked up &/or killed or have to go into #exile, just like the Belovs have had to do, which is precisely why their #refugee status MUST be accepted.

Vielen Dank für einen tollen gemeinsamen #Einsatz von @adorfer (Vor-Ort) und @Retter (#Remote #Backend ) an einer Unterkunft für #refugee in #Düsseldorf. Ziel war: #hardware austauschen und aktuellere #AccessPoint einbauen.
Alles hat super geklappt und läuft wieder. Klasse.

\裁判傍聴に行こう！/
7.13 エリザベスさんの難民不認定処分取消しを求める裁判

昨年10月1日、エリザベスさんの2回目の難民申請は不認定とされました。

しかし、祖国に帰れば身の危険があるエリザベスさんにとって、この結果は到底受け入れられるものではありません。この不認定処分の取消しを求め、今年3月13日に東京地方裁判所に提訴しました。

もし仮にエリザベスさんが母国に強制送還されれば生命や迫害の恐れがあります。この裁判は絶対に勝ち取らなければなりません。

あなたの傍聴が大きな力になります。是非、法廷へお越しください。

また、裁判終了後に裁判報告集会を行います。ぜひご参加ください。

We haven't had a liberal Home Secretary since Roy Jenkins fifty years ago.

Does the office itself strip the humanity from them or must they be devoid of humanity to be appointed?

#Trump Turned the US’ #Refugee Program Into a Pathway for #White People

Trump has upended the program, which for decades had made the #US a sanctuary for people fleeing disaster & persecution.

Under Trump, it has effectively become a #WhitesOnly path to life in the US, a culmination of Trump’s longstanding antipathy toward #immigrants & his embrace of the concept of “reverse racism” as a guiding principle in his admin.

Wyden, who is the ranking member and senior Democrat of the Senate Finance Committee, which has jurisdiction over the Office of #Refugee Resettlement, did not detail how he came by his information. His office declined to provide further details. The ORR, which oversees the care of unaccompanied #immigrant #children, falls under the Department of Health and Human Services.

An #HHS spox denied any such plans.

#TopicOfTheDay: A #Refugee is a person forced to flee their country because of violence or persecution.

#WorldRefugeeDay is an international day designated by the United Nations to honour refugees around the globe. It falls each year on June 20 and celebrates the strength and courage of people who have been forced to flee their home country to escape conflict or persecution.

The #refugee and #asylum-seeker population in the #EU and the #UK stabilized in 2025, after more than a decade of sustained growth. The number of refugees and asylum seekers stood at 9.59 million, virtually unchanged from 9.58 million the previous year. That is the result of a report from #RFBerlin.
