The EU Commission has proposed the early application of parts of the EU 'asylum pact' - and an EU-wide list of 'safe countries of origin'. My analysis of the proposal: eulawanalysis.blogspot.com/2025/04/jump...

Americans, how is this happening??? babies in court representing themselves? Children from homeless shelter? If 10 million Americans staged an uninterrupted protest putting the countries majority cities; business district; airports capital hill in total shutdown for days Trump would have to resign!

Just saw a video of children in court being forced to represent themselves in court as young as 4 where a judge tells them they have to leave the US!!! What is going on? Why are Americans allowing this? Why can 10 million American stage unending protest against this madness?

Until recently, I disliked Obama for interfering in Nigeria’s 2015 election that brought a historical disaster, Buhari to power! But current occurrence in Africa, B.Faso specifically makes me go back to research what exactly America killed Ghadaffi for? Why and for whose interest?

What an irony when Kemi herself is an immigrant
danielsohege.bsky.social Dan Sohege @danielsohege.bsky.social · Mar 9
More accurately: "Tories call to say migrants are not human beings". That's the only way you can argue they shouldn't be covered by human rights, unless you're also arguing to lose them yourself.
If you prevent one group accessing human rights you lose them for everyone.
