The EU Commission has proposed the early application of parts of the EU 'asylum pact' - and an EU-wide list of 'safe countries of origin'. My analysis of the proposal: eulawanalysis.blogspot.com/2025/04/jump...

A year of hate: what I learned when I went undercover with the far right The long read: Working for Hope Not Hate, I infiltrated an extremist organisation, befriended its members and got to work investigating their political connections

Fascinating and worrying in equal measure.

From yesterday: Refugee succeeds in High Court challenge to negative trafficking decision | Sonia Lenegan

Americans, how is this happening??? babies in court representing themselves? Children from homeless shelter? If 10 million Americans staged an uninterrupted protest putting the countries majority cities; business district; airports capital hill in total shutdown for days Trump would have to resign!

America is insane right now! Nothing is taking me there in this whole duration! My husband cancelled our trip; not interested!

Just saw a video of children in court being forced to represent themselves in court as young as 4 where a judge tells them they have to leave the US!!! What is going on? Why are Americans allowing this? Why can 10 million American stage unending protest against this madness?

Dear American and French governments, our eyes as Africans are on yous. I want you to know that we see and know exactly what is going on! Ibrahim Traóre MUST NOT end up dead! Let Gadaffi be last assassination by the West in Africa

Until recently, I disliked Obama for interfering in Nigeria’s 2015 election that brought a historical disaster, Buhari to power! But current occurrence in Africa, B.Faso specifically makes me go back to research what exactly America killed Ghadaffi for? Why and for whose interest?

#SciTwitter is dead, all hail #Bluesky #SciSky! Here are the stats for my Twitter (red) and Bluesky (blue) followers in the last 3.5 months.

Bluesky usage is literally like LinkedIn for microblogging; but some of us just refuse this stereotype because we never want to go back to that stupid, racist-colonialist-illiterate- South African immigrate boy’s app, EVER! Eliona Musk-Trump should be boycotted everywhere

What an irony when Kemi herself is an immigrant

Tory call to ban use of Human Rights Act rights act to stop deportations Kemi Badenoch previously criticised how some foreign criminals and illegal migrants were using the act.

More accurately: "Tories call to say migrants are not human beings". That's the only way you can argue they shouldn't be covered by human rights, unless you're also arguing to lose them yourself.
If you prevent one group accessing human rights you lose them for everyone.

Trump has been whinning about building a wall against Mexico for years now; but today its Mexico that closed its gate against America! Going no contact is perfect way to deal with a narcissist! Since Americans, the majority of yous want to be stupid!

I've been creating a BlueSky list for economic and finance news. You can follow it as a feed to get updates if you like.

So shameful to watch this play out so publicly! Thank God for good friends like Aig, who will protect Herberts kids from their greedy aunties and uncles! Dear Africans, your brother/sister money is not yours! The entitlement stinks

Fighting their grandkids and friend on will? Herbert Wigwe was aware of how toxic his family is; why he put his friend in charge! The way his sister is acting is so strange and telling of how he managed his family; keeping his kids away from them
