SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

please watch this, please discuss it, please dont look away. Why is it that the death rate of migrants crossing the Mediterranean in 2023 was 20x as high as in 2015 at a fraction of the migration rate? These are incredible crimes against humanity on behalf of Europe youtu.be/WC_7zICWMqQ?...

As scientists we must open our eyes to see the structural injustices and unsustainability that western "democracies" enforce on the global South. Those that continue business as usual are seriously complicit in the destruction.

Palestinian babies are not spontaneously freezing to death. They are being deliberately subjected to conditions calculated to terminate life. In other words, they are being murdered. The cause of death is not the cold, but the genocide being perpetrated by Israel and the US.

Europes mainstream media celebrate the life of Jimmy Carter after his death but never mention his clear perspective and his book on oppression in Palestine. What a hopelessly hypocritical system we live in. Carter had recognized this too and said it clearly www.youtube.com/watch?v=QacM...
