This shouldn't happen anywhere or to any of us...be strong, my colleague.

Today, at the grocery, somebody called me a ‘Chinaman’ and told me to "go back home", which led to an aggressive exchange of words and the man throwing items at the owner, who came to my defense. (1/6)

Can populist economics coexist with pro-immigrant policies?
A new Harvard study finds that the more immigrants people believe there are, the less supportive they are of progressive programs. https://t.co/S3ws7jOMaT via @voxdotcom

@_Jimena_Canales I saw!! Felicidades!

Heartrendimg. This wave of men-free villages began centuries ago in rural Europe, then spread across Mediterranean Africa and then the Middle East and Latin America. Now China, India and sub Saharan Africa. It's the mega trend...of ALL times.

Thousands of Senegalese men have left to find work in Europe. Here are the stories of the women they leave behind who are tired of waiting for them to provide - and bucking traditions by going to work https://t.co/2gwQaPEcXU

She's proud of you! So GREAT...

Important work, Kristian. Keep it up! Aguantele!

[Weekend Edition @NPRWeekend]

For three months in Guatemala, @kristianreports investigated why so many migrants die near the U.S.-Mexico border and why their bodies usually remain unidentified https://t.co/NQXes9T0TK

Diaspora engagement will be a key to national reconciliation/resilience.

Supporting vulnerable Somali migrants around the world is one of the key functions that we work with the office of @MariamYassinHY That includes key migration aspects such as migration policy and framework for Somalia. Thanked @MariamYassinHY for her dedication and support.

[Joel Millman @MillmanIOM]

Important! Whole villages are on the move. How can we respond most effectively!

[Mohammed Abdiker @AbdikerM]

Many communities in the East and Horn of Africa region are already feeling the humanitarian impacts of climate change. Many are having their lives and livelihoods disrupted https://t.co/LLRbxDxKYB

.@UNMigration's Joel Millman, said the official # of 2019 migrant deaths in Americas currently stands at 599. He learned of 6 more in last 24 hours: a Cameroonian dying in detention in Otay Mesa, SD; skeletal remains found in Texas, 2 Rio Grande drownings; Mexico train accident.

[Joel Millman @MillmanIOM]

Important new research from Africa @UNmigration

[Mohammed Abdiker @AbdikerM]

A new report from @UNMigration shows that nearly 8m people remain displaced in the East & Horn of Africa region. Still, the same report shows more than half the movements in region are due to economic reasons https://t.co/QHoRbbqOdc

[joel in geneva @JoelAMillman]

@NPR @UNmigration The rise in fatalities on migratory routes elsewhere quite alarming. Already close to 600 confirmed across the Western hemisphere, both North & South America, Caribbean. Many victims from Venezuela. Also Haiti, Mexico, Guatemala, Brazil, Honduras, Ecuador, Cuba and El Salvador.

[Joel Millman @MillmanIOM]

Six years of 1000+ sea deaths. At least 19,000 since start of 2014. We all bear witness to an intolerable, shameful affront to human dignity, human values and human rights. And life.

[NPR @NPR]

Migrant deaths along the Mediterranean Sea route are expected to top 1,000 this year, @UNmigration reports. U.N. officials blame many of the deaths on a hardening attitude toward migrants fleeing violence and poverty.

[Joel Millman @MillmanIOM]

Protecting and supporting artists in conflict zones are facets of migration we rarely ponder during the intensity of a humanitarian emergency. @movartists does more than ponder. It acts!
Felicidades for your efforts.

Important message for...our planet and all who live upon it.

[Amy Pope @IOMchief]

Our planet is home to us all, including vulnerable people who were forced to leave their homes due to environment degradation and climate change.

We have a responsibility to protect our earth and make migration a choice, not a necessity. #ClimateAction

[Joel Millman @MillmanIOM]

Good moment to reflect on works of all humanitarians in this realm. With thanks to professor Schwartz...
