The suspension of family reunion has a disproportionate impact on women, children, and those with disabilities.
As Blessing shared, "The delays crushed me. You can’t move on, you can’t integrate, you can’t do anything. I fell into depression… I am still on medication now.”

Reminder that Francesca Albanese is not being targeted for a sentence twisted and lifted out of context in a speech.
She is being targeted for daring to name the names of giant companies complicit in the crime of genocide.
They would rather destroy international law than be accountable to it.
"It was said long ago that not everyone who keeps on repeating ‘Lord, O Lord!’ will enter the kingdom of heaven. It now has to be said that not everyone who keeps on reiterating ‘Criticism, criticism!’ is capable of rising above dogmatism." - Georgi Plekhanov, 1898
🚨🚨Given current situation and with the sharply deteriorating situation in #trumpland, I think it is unwise, imprudent and just a very bad idea for the EU to go ahead with plans to grant #US border authorities unprecedented access to Europeans’ data. 🧵

My hottest take re this is that decades of pro-Israel discourse primed both political classes and parts of the public for this nonsense. oh no we are a tiny nuclear power backed by the largest imperial state and we are so afraid of kids with rocks.

Frankly evil people
In the last election in New York, [Michael] Walzer voted for Zohran Mamdani. "He is a good social democrat – and an anti-Zionist that people like me will have to argue with," he says.

They can now apply a Rwanda policy to nearly all asylum-seekers, what the fuck else do they want?

"Every country was put on notice by the ICJ that there was a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza.. every country became obliged under the law.. not to speak fine words, to take action to prevent genocide.. that obligation was activated on 24th Jan 2024"
Chris Sidoti spells it out
Israel killed 5 children in Gaza today who were just trying to get water as Israel starves them. When this article was published, this morning at 11:30 am ET, nearly 80 Palestinians had been executed by Israel. By the end of the day Israel had killed 20 more. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...
I fleshed out a few of my thoughts about the comms from the ICJ to remove Judge Sebutinde and @verfassungsblog.de were kind enough to publish them: verfassungsblog.de/from-one-icj...
Importantly, the IAGS Gaza Resolution recognizes that Israel has already destroyed a substantial part of the Palestinian group by killing and maiming (I would add starving and stunting) tens of thousands of children.
