This episode was recorded in January 2025. At the time, the Disability and Migration Network (DAMN) and the DPAC Crip Tank were planning a conference, bringing together activists from both sectors to build understanding and collaboration. More info on disability-migration.org.uk/network 5/7
The work of disabling borders is collective, and among many others, Rebecca has worked with community artist Andrew Bolton, and disabled people across different communities to create murals. You can find, and learn about them on www.disabilitymurals.org.uk/about.php 4/7
This episode is based on Rebecca Yeo’s book, with the same title, Disabling Migration Control, which is based on her many years of organizing within the disabled people’s movement and against borders, and in particular her engagement with disabled people in the asylum system. 3/7
The immigration system is actively disabling. And similar restrictions are being continually extended to the wider population, most recently through welfare reforms.
With shared learning, solidarity and collective resistance we can, instead, disable the borders that restrict and divide us. 2/7
Now online: Ep 29, w Rebecca Yeo @disabmurals.bsky.social

“As we hit the streets, I thought it might be inspiring to think about the ways in which art and dance and other facets of performance can make protest a more resonant act.”
Robin DG Kelley on the poetry of aja monet (1:05:33)
"This is what makes the poems so powerful and dangerous. Like violets pushing through concrete to kiss the sun, or unarmed people, arms locked, chanting and singing, forcing armies to retreat."

Het hele idee dat een 'we' zelf mag en moet bedenken wat die met 'migratie' wil, is de raciale grond waarop alle lulkoek die doorgaat voor 'democratie' gebaseerd is. Iedereen die daaraan meedoet (en dat doen 'we' allemaal wel een beetje) is bezig de hak in de nek van anderen te houden.
Authorities/police in #Bulgaria have been accused of ignoring emergency calls and obstructing efforts to rescue three Egyptian teenage #refugees boys, who later died in sub-zero temperatures near the Bulgarian-Turkish border in late December.

"the exchange structure specific to German-Israeli relations: moral absolution of an insufficiently denazified and still profoundly antisemitic Germany in return for cash and weapons."
Every MLK day I post what I consider to be Dr. King’s most powerful speech: “Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence,” April 4, 1967. The late Vincent Harding wrote much of it, as he himself told me years ago. Here is the prophetic voice at the peak of its power.

"This project of visual representation, through painting, is an invitation to dive into this collective imaginary and rediscover fragments of a shared memory, that of our Haitian culture. It’s an attempt to keep these extraordinary stories alive,

Beautiful piece by @mollycrabapple.bsky.social
“The rebel dead are not so easy to silence. Not in the forests of Eastern Europe, and not in mutilated Gaza. Their words bleed into the present, where they can be used by the living to create another world.”
