There are a lot of harmful people disguising themselves as conservatives or nationalists. Conservative and nationalist communities should get rid of such psychologically ill people and prevent others follow them in unethical ways against humanity #Immigration

Larry Hopkins, the leader of the right-wing militia that detained migrant families in the New Mexico desert, had so many run-ins with the law that his police record stretched across much of the United States prior to his arrest by the F.B.I.

Trump on asylum seekers from South America : “These arent people. These are animals”. Unbelievable.

Facts on migration, highly necessary, but often distorted in our age of fake news and populist xenophobia

Last time i checked Puerto Rico was part of USA and all Puerto Ricans were Americans. Ummm, i guess i need to catch up soon.

Syrian youth is in deep crisis that pushes them towards radicalization, says DW. Half agreed. There is a group that is pushed, yes, but it is actually younger adults who are trapped with age limitations to change into a better life, either for school or new job.

@CBSNews Health care system in US? For a second I thougt there is one. Then i remembered it serves only for rich and privileged ones.

[Murat Ertugrul Pala @ertpala]

@csar022 The funny part is that those kind of picking creme de la creme efforts are considered heroic and noble while helps towards the countries that host millions of refugees are close to none or that minimal help is offered as a grace of those nobles.

“”‘Canada is a dreamland’: Syrian refugee thrilled to start job at Kitchener high-tech firm.”” On one hand it is making dreams come true, on the other hand it is handpicking the best and brightest and leaving the rest to whatever they are. https://t.co/z38knFmu9E

I just want to say, “talents beyond boundaries” kind of efforts (which i do really appreciate a lot) are actually causing harm as well along with its almost magical results for refugees.

[Murat Ertugrul Pala @ertpala]

I appreciate the efforts to save souls. I seriously do. But then i question it. Should, for example Turkey, get stuck with less skilled refugee employee pool if it is about “talent beyond boundaries”? On the other hand i do think i would want to live somewhere i want if i was him

@kmfullertonrico . Hi Kristina. Got your email. Would love to be in the migration scholars list you started. Thank you.

[Murat Ertugrul Pala @ertpala]

@Logitech Thank you guys for your quick reply. I just DM’ed you and hope this leads me towards a solution.

[Murat Ertugrul Pala @ertpala]

@Logitech made a support (warranty) request a week ago online at Logitech Turkey web page. No reply yet besides a confirmation email. Is this normal or somebody not doing his/her job? I need my keyboard fixed soon, please help me on this.

[Murat Ertugrul Pala @ertpala]

@stephanefr @Logitech Thats awesome. Happy for you. I started the same way. Opened a file and explained the situation, they sent me an automated email saying somebody will get in touch with me asap. But no one did in a week so far. Hope my story ends up like yours.
