At First Avenue! 🥲🥲🥲🤩🤩🤩 I'm sure someone else was there in spirit too!

The European Commission has presented its five‑year plan for the EU's migration policy. Officials see reducing irregular arrivals and increasing deportations as top priorities. NGOs have criticized this approach, saying it may result in rights violations. www.infomigrants.net/en/post/6954...

Publicada la “European #Asylum and #Migration Management Strategy”. De nuevo, una oportunidad perdida en ir más allá de la mirada securitizada. home-affairs.ec.europa.eu/european-asy...

Reports have suggested that the EU has plans for the construction of a Maritime Rescue Coordination Center in Benghazi, in the eastern region of Libya, under Commander Khalifa Haftar’s control. We approached the EU Commission to find out more: www.infomigrants.net/en/post/6925...

baffling that the media isn’t making more of an issue out of how carney is gutting key federal agencies/depts and what that’s going to mean for gov capacity when we’re supposed to be more independent and capable. food inspection, health canada, statscan, global affairs — all being cut, and more

Abolish borders. Increasingly my book is about how we are focusing on discrete agencies & discrete violences - ICE, CBP, DHS - but what we need to be doing is rethinking the entirety of the system that ever imagined human beings as threats.

The EU has been mulling sending people rescued in the Mediterranean directly to coastal states outside of Europe, according to an internal EU document.

We could all use some good news these days. 🧵Spain approves decree to regularise half a million undocumented people.

Nuclear. Safety. Rules.

Although there are some serious issues, regular mechanisms for rolling regularizations are integrated into the country's immigration legislation. It's hard to find sources in EN but this gives a good overview: Residency Under Exceptional Circumstances: The 4 Arraigos share.google/KpA2Za4ljM2L...

Liam Ramos is still in a Texas prison. It's been 5 days

Maybe if what you want to do violates human rights, you shouldn't be doing it 💡 Just a thought.

Canada is helping the United States built a fleet of new icebreakers — but those ships could enable the US to further threaten Canadian sovereignty in the Arctic. (The United States does not recognize Canada’s claim over the Northwest Passage.)

I think what a lot of folks miss is how profitable deportation is for the corporations involved & the politicians they're backing. Holding people, physically removing them, is cost for the taxpayer & profit into the pockets of the worst people you can imagine.

The Spanish government is about to kick off a mass regularization of more than 500,000 irregular migrants. To be eligible for the program, migrants will need to document at least five months of continuous stay within the country.

It’s a good time for you to read up on the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border—especially all of the different types of technologies spying on residents and travelers there. @eff.org spent so much time assembling these printable zines in English and Spanish documenting the tech we’ve seen.

📣Desde APDHA consideramos positivo el acuerdo para la Regularización Extraordinaria que podría alcanzar a unas 700.000 personas migrantes✊🏽✊🏼✊🏿 👉Se trata de una demanda con un amplio respaldo social, como quedó patente con la ILP bloqueada en el Congreso.

Good. None of us should travel to the US for academic conferences until everyone can do so safely. The alternative is obscene.

This is a minor point perhaps, but it adds to the heartbreak. The Univ of Minnesota is where I became a geographer and where I first became interested in migration studies. You'd be surprised how many people involved in justice work are human geographers. Que la tierra te sea leve, compañero 🔥

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

There are concentration camps, a large secret police, and they're performing extra-judicial killings in the open even when they know they're being recorded. I dont think it could be clearer where we are at this moment.

There is no defending this. This is cold-blooded murder.

We’ve said it repeatedly: Europe’s border policies don’t stop people from moving. They just push them onto even more dangerous and distant routes to safety.

We are the ancestors of future generations: be one they'll be proud to claim as their own.

I posted about the fifth detained death less than 24 hours ago. Now, ICE reports its sixth detained death of 2026. Call your representatives in Congress now and tell them no more funding for detention. ICE clearly can’t handle it.

Right on, thanks for this powerful piece! 👏👏👏

Looks like the EU-US trade deal is now dead, with all three major groups in the EU Parliament calling at least for suspension. The downward spiral has already begun.

Europeans shouldn’t panic about Donald Trump’s threats toward Greenland. They should act—fast and visibly—to raise the costs of any annexation attempt. They can play “Arctic hold‘em” – with ten European cards 👇 https://bit.ly/45AQ3kr

As Morocco, Mauritania and Senegal clamp down on unauthorized migration, boats are increasingly leaving from much further south, in Guinea, to reach the Canary Islands.

Now I *really* want to know if snowplows in Canada also have names 😆

In winter, Greenland and Iceland move south and that's why we feel cold

Ceci. in most countries.

The U.S. is demanding automated access to biometric police and asylum data in EU states. Also Trump’s infamous anti-migrant-militia #ICE could benefit from this #EBSP. The EU Commission now wants to negotiate an agreement under high secrecy: digit.site36.net/2026/01/14/a...

Been revisiting @thetattooedprof.bsky.social's Radical Hope recently: “Teaching is a radical act of hope. It is an assertion of faith in a better future in an increasingly uncertain and fraught present. It is a commitment to that future even if we can’t clearly discern its shape.”

This is not a conspiracy theory, unfortunately.
