The new german government aims for push-backs at the borders, even against people seeking asylum, with the exception of children and pregnant women. Trying to sound humane, while undermining the right to asylum. Brutal biopolitics.

Neuer Innenminister will Pushbacks: Dobrindt lässt Asylsuchende zurückweisen
Die Bundespolizei soll ab sofort fast alle Geflüchteten an den Grenzen abweisen. Das dürfte gegen Europarecht verstoßen – und die Nachbarländer düpieren.

"There’s nothing abstract about transgender policies, by contrast. ... That disruption began with Trump’s inauguration and continues to this day, due in part to the capitulation of healthcare institutions to his fact-free and possibly illegal policymaking."

"Trump’s attacks on transgender individuals and their care are part of his drive to portray himself as a political strongman. But they’re just the opposite: They’re expressions of cowardice, bc he well knows that his targets have little political power."

Trump has introduced an immediate halt to all work on PEPFAR (the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, set up by George W Bush).
This includes the HIV treatment provided to 20 million people through PEPFAR, people who will die without treatment.
And many more will acquire HIV as a result.

Over the next few days, I'll be posting clips from an animated movie I made a few years back with Ciro Carillo about mutual aid. You can watch the whole thing here on my YouTube page.
This clip introduces us to mutual aid: what it is and why we need it.
