Passt auf, als Nächstes bringt einer einen Antrag ein, Elektroautos nicht mehr Autos zu nennen, weil ein echtes Auto gefälligst ein Verbrenner zu sein hat.

❗️The event came at a critical moment: just a few months before the automatic renewal of the Italy–Libya deal. Signed on 2 February 2017, it renews automatically every three years unless one of the parties gives notice of withdrawal at least three months before it expires. 5/6

We also discussed our work at @de-criminalize.bsky.social and how many people, after surviving detention in Libya’s prison industry, often find themselves imprisoned again in Europe upon arrival—charged with “smuggling” for steering the boat during the journey and sentenced to long prison terms. 4/6

Together, they unpacked the crimes against humanity committed against people on the move in Libya and the Mediterranean, focusing on how EU migration policies—and the Italy–Libya Memorandum of Understanding specifically—enable and entrench these crimes. 2/6

Trump held a “roundtable” today on how to take action against #Antifa.
Just to be clear: once the #EBSP is adopted, US law enforcement agencies would also have access to biometric and personal data on left-wing activists in Germany and 42 other VWP states.

A coalition of 60+ organizations calls for common protests in October against the Memorandum of Understanding between Italy and Libya. The deal facilitates grave abuses of people who are trying to reach Europe via Libya and the Mediterranean Sea, and thus contributes to crimes against humanity.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

seit fast 2 jahren gibt es massive polizeigewalt auf propalästinensischen demos in deutschland. viele, die für demokratie, gg rechtsextremismus stehen, schweigen dazu. die sache ist, wenn grundrechte nur selektiv verteidigt werden, werden sie *allen* entzogen.versammlungsfreiheit ist kein privileg.

Kirk’s ‘memorial’ getting a live coverage on The Guardian is a great example of how the right gets automatically framed as the default political movement to be ‘understood’ while the victims of that same movement never will never get the same amount of coverage
