Today is the 25th anniversary of the Tampa Incident, cynically used by then PM John Lying Rodent Howard to stir racism to demonise asylum seekers by conflating them with terrorism and win an election he was about to lose. #australia #ausgov #piracy #asylumseekers #refugees #offshoregulag #cruelty https://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-07-07/former-sas-commander-breaks-silence-on-tampa/2785164?pfmredir=sm

The MV Tampa 25 years on and we still treat asylum seekers worse than convicted criminals. Just one reason why I will always call John Winston Howard a lying rodent and the Labor party gutless.

A Scottish town facing decades of decline is turning to immigrants and refugees for a fresh start.
With empty shops, lost industries and young people leaving, the challenge is clear.

Anyone also getting new followers that claim having dying family and providing a donation link in their bio? I just got 3 in the past weeks. Had none in the years before. Most probably not a coincidence.

All That Remains (The Right of Return)
W139, Friday, October 30 at 06:00 PM GMT+1
To close The Nature of Remembering, we are honored to welcome artist-filmmaker Inas Halabi. She will lead us through a listening session centered around field recordings collected from the sites of demolished Palestinian villages. These villages have been turned into Israeli national parks and reserves and overgrown with foreign pine trees in an attempt to erase them, confiscate the land, and prevent the original inhabitants (now refugees) from returning.
The field recordings are part of her ongoing research and a film she is currently producing, which also explores the Indigenous plants that continue to grow in these locations, alongside collective rituals related to the harvest season and land, as a way of disrupting this ongoing erasure. Presenting aural landscapes from these locations, that hold together the drum-like song of cicadas and the drone of jet engines, the soundscapes at W139 invite us to consider: What might an image of ‘return’ sound like?
Ticket: €7,50Student and solidarity ticket: €5
Buy your tickets via Eventbrite.
Inas Halabi (she/her) is an artist-filmmaker living and working between Palestine and the Netherlands. Her practice is concerned with how social and political forms of power manifest, and the impact that overlooked or suppressed histories have on contemporary life. This is anchored around her interest in landscape and systems of power and control. Taking up the history and territory of her native Palestine, her work explores the politics of erasure and the everlasting impact of colonialism on the land and its people. Through the deliberate use of repetition, she aims to capture and create situations that insist on being looked at more closely, bringing to the foreground details of the invisible violence in the everyday, while continuously searching for ways to disrupt this through image and sound, and more recently through collective practices and rituals related to the land.

Beyond appalling.
"A 1-year-old baby appeared in #immigration court without legal representation... and received an instruction: File an asylum application before the next hearing or face deportation.
An attorney from the #US Committee for #Refugees, one of the groups with a new contract [from the #Trump regime] to represent migrant children, was silent as it happened"

KI soll über Asyl- und Visumsverfahren mitentscheiden
‚Von Handydaten und Dialekterkennung jetzt zum KI-Training inklusive Abgleich mit Social Media Daten. Künftig soll auch der Einsatz von KI in Asyl-, Visums- und aufenthaltsrechtlichen Verfahren erlaubt sein.

#Climate #refugees are not protected under existing #internationallaw
"The 1951 Refugee Convention would need to expand the definition of who qualifies as a refugee. It should recognise internal displacement as a valid reason for protection. It should also include climate change and natural disasters as events that can seriously disrupt public order."
"This approach is already reflected in two regional refugee agreements. One is the 1969 Convention Governing the Specific Aspects of Refugee Problems in Africa, also known as the OAU Convention. The other is the 1984 Cartagena Declaration on Refugees, also known as the Cartagena Declaration."

"The government may have thought it was addressing the far-right’s fixation on migrants and sexual violence by producing its guide to consent. Instead, it has ended up reinforcing that link"

EU-Deal mit Haftar: Es ging nie um Menschenrechte #FightTheFortress
‚Brüssel beginnt eine weitere Zusammenarbeit mit Kriegsverbrechern, dieses Mal mit Ostlibyens Milizenführer Khalifa Haftar. Erneut wird deutlich: Die propagierten Werte des Westens sind unbedeutend, wenn sie den eigenen Interessen in die Quere kommen.
Seit 2024 hat sich eine neue Fluchtroute von Ostlibyen auf die griechische Insel Kreta etabliert. Während 2024 rund 5.000 Asylsuchende die Insel erreichten, waren es im Jahr 2025 um die 20.000. Für die Parlamentarier:innen in Brüssel ist diese Entwicklung ein Dorn im Auge, weshalb die EU nun mit dem verbrecherischen Regime in Ostlibyen die Kooperation stärkt….‘

Today I am asking for your help.😢
The landlord wants to evict us from our place
I have no other shelter and I don't know where I will go
But I need the cost of moving.
It will be around $300, and it is a very difficult amount for me to get in a few days

Ukrainians who have fled to Germany find themselves in an awkward position: "privileged refugeehood". But what does privilege really mean? Maria Grynevych spoke to Ukrainians in Germany who felt the burden of this privilege - which only exists in relation to refugees who are less white - and who received a welcome with a clock. ⬇️

How it started∶
“…Give me your tired, your poor; Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free; The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me; I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
