A summer school cannot be a great summer school without engaged and interested students! 🤩💫🙏

We can continue trying to bridge the gaps between research and policy, I certainly will, but right now, EU migration policy is largely in the hands of right-wing populists.

📸In Mbour, Senegal, therapist Mame Katy Faye works for an organization that helps children who lost their parents on the Atlantic migration route. Over 1,100 people died or went missing trying to reach Spain's Canaries from West Africa last year, according to @iom.int.

Much more money and big plans for EU border control and policing, it seems. ”The commission plans will deliver major boosts to both agencies with nearly €12bn earmarked for Frontex and €3bn for Europol.” euobserver.com/215103/eu-pr...

Hier avec @lighthousereports.com @lemonde.fr @komune-media.bsky.social & @spiegel.de, on publiait les 1ères images d’une interception violente d’un kwassa au large de Mayotte par la PAF Longtemps les autorités ont nié que de telles pratiques existaient. Un fil 🧵 www.youtube.com/watch?v=zM4g...

Ah, Le dessous des cartes 😍🔥

1/ EEUU anunció el bloqueo para el lunes a las 14:00 UTC. No había Notice to Mariners publicado y aun nada. Es un bloqueo naval sin aviso formal a los navegantes. Los capitanes en la zona sin instrucciones oficiales. Es como cortar una autopista sin poner señales. 🧵

This was a tough one to write, and I took a bit of a personal risk sharing my own career-long process of discovery from tentatively swayed by the potential for deep-sea mining to convinced that we are simply not ready.

"These... border policing practices... had the cumulative effect of creating more dangerous circumstances for migrants attempting the Channel crossing, and shown state policies to prevent small boat crossings as being a clear driver in the increased number of deaths amongst migrants in the Channel"

Trans friends, thank you for being you, and for, when you can, sharing yourselves with a world that is so frequently undeserving of the light you bring to it. I love and support you, always. 🏳️‍⚧️🫂🫶

I look at the world, at the forests and the mountains here, the sky, and it's all right, as it should be. But we aren't. People aren't. We're wrong. We do wrong. No animal does wrong. How could they? But we can, and we do. And we never stop.

Estados Unidos está deportando a gente de diversos países a Guinea Ecuatorial, una de las autocracias más crueles y corrompidas del continente africano. A cambio, la dictadura de Teodoro Obiang recibe 7,5 millones de dólares. Informa @monikapronczuk.bsky.social apnews.com/article/equa...

This week, 116 people were stranded for four days on the Miskar offshore gas platform in the middle of the Mediterranean - among them two babies, one child, and several teenagers. They had fled Libya and were caught in a storm with winds up to 40 knots and 6-meter waves.

1/ Denmark was reportedly preparing for full-scale war with the US over Greenland in January, with military support from France, Germany, and Nordic nations. Elite troops and F-35 jets with live ammunition were sent, and runways were to be blown up to prevent an invasion. ⬇️

Mientras avanza la guerra los desplazados y refugiados huyen a los países fronterizos. Pero como en conflictos anteriores, acabarán llegando a Europa buscando protección. Entre tanto, la UE no ha movido un dedo ante un flujo que puede ser una de las mayores crisis humanitarias de las últimas décadas

Basta! We are disobeying Italian command to head to the north of Italy - We are sailing to Trapani port. We won't jeopardize the health of the remaining 57 survivors on board our #SeaWatch5 by heading to a port more than 1,100 km away from the rescue site. Trapani is 50km close!

Aparte de misiles, drones y minas, hay algo de lo que no se habla y que hace de Ormuz una pesadilla: el jamming y el spoofing de GPS. Suena técnico pero es muy sencillo. Os lo cuento. 🧵

Happening now! We know of at least 225+ people, including children, fighting for their lives. Authorities have been alerted, and they do NOTHING as the waves rise and the temperature drops.

Todo el mundo asumía que si Irán cerraba Ormuz sería un todo o nada. Un portazo. Suicidio económico incluido porque su propio crudo sale por ahí. Por eso los analistas decían "no lo hará." Yo mismo lo enseñé aquí 👇🏼 en noviembre. Pues me equivoqué. Lo ha hecho. Pero no como esperábamos. 🧵

"The result is a world in which the most consequential targeting decisions are made by systems that cannot explain themselves, supplied by companies that answer to no one, in conflicts that generate no acc & no reckoning. That is not a failure of the system. That is the system" tinyurl.com/tvbxht45

Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies." No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

To restore democracy and create a fairer, safer, greener world, we need massive taxes on the ultra-rich. As in the 1940s. People get confused about this. The main purpose of such taxes is *not* to raise revenue. The point is to stop the few dominating the many. It's an essential democratic measure.

A map of Europe

The US–Israeli attack on Iran will deepen the cost of living crisis. The last energy shock cost Europe $1.8tn. Europe’s leaders have backed the illegal war that may cause the next shock. The transatlantic alliance is Europe’s trillion dollar bill. 🧵 transitionsecurity.org/trillion-dol...

Migration Commissioner Brunner and Partnerships Commissioner Sikela have just travelled to Senegal to discuss "strategic partnerships" related to security, regional stability, and migration. Will this agreement potentially become another example of externalization of border controls?

He had grown up in a country run by politicians who sent the pilots to man the bombers to kill the babies to make the world safe for children to grow up in.

Initially most people will be internally displaced by conflict. Most people have neither the resources or contacts to cross an international border to become a refugee. The longer a conflict goes on however the more routes are created, both in terms of smuggling and trafficking. 1/4

Estoy esperando para entrar en el médico y quiero contaros esto de mientras. Hormuz no lo han cerrado los misiles. Lo han cerrado siete compañías de seguros. Y esa frase, que suena a broma, es literalmente lo que ha pasado. 🧵

Trump orders the US to cut all trade and "dealings" with Spain after it refused to all US jets to be refueled for Iran bombings on joint bases in the country "We're going to ⁠cut off all trade with ⁠Spain. We don't want anything ​to do with ‌Spain"
