“Though both Hitler and Hugenberg were fiercely anti-Communist, antidemocratic, anti-immigrant, and anti-Semitic, their attempts at political partnership failed spectacularly and repeatedly.”

According to data from @walkingborders 10,457 people died at Spain's borders in 2024. The EU’s crackdown on Mediterranean crossings has diverted migrants toward the even more perilous Atlantic route, turning the ocean into a mass grave. My latest @jacobin

"Those who've lost their lives are victims of Fortress Europe’s brutal border regime, which, in the name of disincentivizing travel by migrants & refugees from the Global South, forces them to expose themselves to ever greater mortal dangers." My latest: https://t.co/6PzdIbRtkk
When even right-wing La Razón has written off Mazón as politically dead, you know it's only a matter of time. It's headline today reads:
"[PP national leader Alberto Núñez] Feijóo props up Mazon so as not to hand Sanchez victory."
130,000 Valencians demand premier Carlos Mazon’s resignation, and incarceration, after he neglected to attend to the red weather alerts and 100s of people died in the floods.
Only days before the Valencia floods, the PP regional government reached an agreement with Vox to weaken planning regulations so as to allow hotels to be built closer to the sea (halving the distance from 500m to 200). PP wanted to reduce it to 100m but was too much even for Vox

🗞️The flash floods in the Valencia region have taken many lives, many homes and ruined several political careers, but it has also destroyed a wideheld view of young people as a selfish and jaded generation https://t.co/iuQmnD7YaS
Mazón cambia de estrategia y pasa de agradecer al Gobierno a atacar y culpar a sus entidades y a la UME de sus fallos, mientras Feijóo lo desautoriza. Parece que el giro surgió el domingo, tras los altercados con el Rey y los agitadores https://t.co/JXlSZ9HFjg
Devastating news and scenes still coming from Valencia and around - here's how to help or donate to people affected by the floods: https://t.co/RQeEeCn75R #Spain#Valencia
PP national leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo looking to distance himself from party colleague and beleaguered Valencian regional premier Carlos Marzón by calling on national government to take control of the emergency response- something which Mazón is resisting.
Feijoo seemingly willing to sacrifice him.
