Divest Borders

@peopleandplanet student campaign demanding that our universities divest from companies profiting from violence against migrating people across the world

[Divest Borders @divestborders]

🚨 BREAKING: Students coordinate actions across the UK demanding divestment from the border industry!

UK universities are investing millions in corporations profiting from detention, deportations and militarised borders - and students are calling it out.

Solidarity to every US migrant student &/or permanent resident who is being viciously attacked for showing solidarity with 🇵🇸.

But can we 🛑with the model student discourse.

Here is why.

🧵

[ድብ ⚢ @my_bearhands]

the border is everywhere. border violence is everywhere.

[UnisResistBorders #WearAMask #BordersKillKnowledge @UnisNotBorders]

UK folks, listen up- universities that signed up to be "Universities of Sanctuary" actively practice the #HostileEnvironment policy on their migrant students & will report migrant students to the Home Office. There is no sanctuary when border controls are enforced on campus.

Watching Americans just get up and choose to live anywhere but then have a fucking meltdown about illegal immigrants taking up residency in the US will always blow my mind.

Google's acquisition of Israeli cybersecurity company Wiz will mark the single largest transfer of former Unit 8200 Israeli spies into any American company. All Wiz founders are former 8200 as are dozens of staff, from office managers to product analysts to software engineers

The border is not a place. It is a technology of control.

NEW: ICE is hunting for Yunseo Chung, a Columbia student who attended pro-Palestine protests. Chung came to the US from Korea with her family at age 7, and was her high school's valedictorian. She's a lawful permanent resident. Here's what we know so far. 🧵

[Divest Borders @divestborders]

From Palestine to the border to everywhere. The pipeline stay pipelining

[London & UK Street News @CrimeLdn]

The UK’s first permanent live facial recognition (LFR) cameras will be installed in south London in a bid to catch criminals.

The cameras will be permanently installed on two roads in the centre of Croydon as part of a pilot project run by the Metropolitan Police

[Liberty @libertyhq]

🚨BREAKING @LInvestigates @skynews

At least 28 universities investigated as many as 113 students & staff over pro-Palestine protest activity

Unis shared students' data & images with police

This is a SHOCKING crackdown on students' right to protest: https://t.co/FiGdd7i3dG

“Of course we’re fine with GENUINE refugees” #r4today https://t.co/QNOgI8bKd1

[Divest Borders @divestborders]

the gall.

90% of their comms is 'we are proud to announce our newest scheme to make life even more hellish for anyone foreign' and the other 10% is 'pls come give us ur money we're proper nice i promise'

what do they take us for?

[UnisResistBorders #WearAMask #BordersKillKnowledge @UnisNotBorders]

.@bphillipsonMP selling, erm...begging migrant students back to the UK while @UKLabour expands the #HostileEnvironment, meanwhile, UK universities are criminalising 🇵🇸 protests & divestment campaigns, are some of the many reasons why migrant students are giving the UK a pass.

[London CAAT @londoncaat]

Shocking and shameful

[London CAAT @londoncaat]

Universities should not be partnering with countries with a history of torture and human rights abuses

[London CAAT @londoncaat]

Deportation footage ‘enables mainstreaming of racism’, Clive Lewis says. This video is shameful and cruel https://t.co/n5jfMq8Fdz

The Home Office accepts that its policies to “smash the gangs” results in people taking flimsier & more overcrowded dinghies across the Channel.

This is why at least 77 people have drowned. A third are children. #r4today https://t.co/WnRQw5WOLY
