Hva er det som feiler denne regjeringen? Jeg kan ikke forstå hvorfor fullvaksinerte norske studenter med dansk koronapass i orden skal måtte i karantenehotell. De innebærer vel ingen smittefare og vi stoler vel på dansk dokumentasjon? https://t.co/WpPrGk1cuG
#Denmark has passed a law to relocate #asylum seekers outside Europe, in a move opposed by #humanrights groups, the UN & the European Commission amid fears it will erode #refugees’ rights & encourage other EU states to follow suit.

The impacts of Hurricanes Eta and Iota are still being felt across Guatemala, and they will be felt for years to come. Many have yet to see aid from the state, while others lost crops. There is fear this could drive more migrate to the US. https://t.co/q86sMHWHAA
Hey, remember when the Panama Papers were released and they showed how basically every wealthy person on the planet was avoiding taxes by offshoring their money and nothing was done about it except the reporter who broke the story was murdered with a car bomb?
During the pandemic #Trump admin has effectively ended access to asylum at #US#Mexico border, exacerbated humanitarian crisis for #asylum seekers in northern Mexico & deported COVID positive people to Latin American countries. My latest @newhumanitarian https://t.co/ixggPDJXoB
In the past 72 hours we've learned:
1. Trump knew Putin was hunting our soldiers.
2. Putin successfully killed our soldiers.
3. The Admin. knowingly sold faulty anti-body testing kits.
4. COVID-19 had its largest ever single day cases.
5. Trump tweeted a "white power" video.
66 years ago today Guatemalan a president Jacobo Árbenz was forced to resign the presidency after the CIA backed a coup against his administration. The coup ended the 10 years of the democratic spring in Guatemala
On June 15, the Admin will publish a reg that would incinerate the already burning husk of the US asylum system. The Admin's existing push to dismantle asylum has resulted in plummeting grant rates & refugees increasingly blocked & deported at the preliminary screening stage.
Ny, brutal politivoldsak i Mexico, denne gangen mot demonstranter mot politivold. Bringer minner tilbake om nedslaktning av de 43 studentene fra #Ayotzinapa, kidnappet og drept i 2014, på vei til en markering av 1968- massakren på demonstranter. https://t.co/kbIvVocy4R
conservatives a month ago: “why should we listen to the government and stay home? you are all sheep, this is a free country!”
conservatives today: “if you just follow the government mandated curfew, the paramilitary police stormtroopers won’t shoot you in the face, it’s simple”
For years, Borderlands scholars have warned about the border becoming a "zone of exception" where normal constitutional protections do not apply. We are now witnessing some of the consequences of this policy (a short thread).
Statistician Patrick Ball reminds us that 1) police lie habitually about their culpability in homicides, but despite the incomplete data, we know that 2) cops commit 8-10% of all US homicides and 3) 1/3 of Americans killed by strangers are killed by cops. https://t.co/eaCGcT0PzQ
These days, to get some perspective on what's happening in the U.S., I return to @GregGrandin's eye-opening book: freedom, for some Americans, has always meant freedom from restraint, even when it comes at a cost of dispossessing and letting others die. https://t.co/lKeBXN7GXW
