“He took information that was publicly available but labor-intensive to compile, and did something nobody else was doing...I don’t know if he expected this second career to make him basically the world’s only credible public source on U.S. deportation flights, just as they were becoming part of one of the United States’ biggest national news stories.”

Um #Mannheim wird es irgendwie stiller, oder? Jedenfalls #politisch ist man schon zum nächsten Thema weitergegangen.

Die #Staatsanwaltschaft sagt, entscheidend ist, was der #Nazi konkret mit seiner Tat bezwecken wollte - da sei kein politischer Hintergrund festzustellen.

Ist es ein #Migrant #Asylant, sieht die Politik es aber anders, alle (!) #AfD #CDU #CSU #SPD #Grüne fordern dann härtere #Abschiebungen und #Grenzen dicht.

New server, new #introduction!

My name is Seth, I am a #migrant from the #US to #Germany and am a #cybersecurity manager, having been in #IT for 10 years and #security for 5.

My interests are #politics and #CurrentEvents (with a CW), #history, #art, #books, #scifi, #nature, #science, and #technology.

I am a diehard #leftie #communist / #Marxist / #socialist and will always fight for #humanrights and #workersrights. I'm very boring and boost more than I post.

Double standards: Gen X + older folk on #socialmedia reminiscing about a scene from a #kids book where a #sweet shop owner (an old white man) is selling bags of sweets (with way more sugar than is allowed today) to kids.

Same shop also sold #tobacco (and didn't always care how old you were!)

But folk went apeshit when #BritishAsian folk took over these shops, and similarly at the sweets + #vape shops run by #migrant staff in 21st century towns..

🙌 Proud and excited to have launched a new legal briefing from Lawmanity "Ending Destitution in Scotland - A Roadmap for Policymakers" 🏡

The report sets out clear, actionable steps that Scottish Government and local authorities can take to tackle the harm and #destitution imposed on #migrant and #NRPF communities by the UK Government's hostile environment policies, and make #Scotland fairer, and more equal, for everyone. 🫶

I forgot to ask his name. He asked for shoes, size 9 1/2. I was at the aid camp, the only one here, and he flagged me down from across the border fence. I told him that unfortunately, there were no shoes in the supply tent, just some small coats.

He would be hiking north across the mountains tonight and his shoes had fallen apart, now held together with pieces of flimsy cord.

If his shoes fell apart and he couldn't make it, he would be left behind somewhere in the mountains. He said his guide is new and doesn't know this route, but the full moon will help find the trail. If he is like the other man I talked to, he will be paying $9000 to be guided north to Tucson, but they can't bother to bring him new shoes.

I had a very small partial roll of Gorilla Tape in my truck which I gave him. He was very happy and appreciative. I'm worried that the tape will give out long before trail's end.

@drahardja @rodhilton

it's a tighter loop than what you describe

deporting people faces these hurdles:

1. identifying what country a person is from
2. getting a country to agree to take them
3. paying for the huge cost of mass #deportation

so your "they will replace #migrant #labor with #prison labor"

is more exactly

"they will remove migrant labor, imprison them, then put them right back in their old workplace paying them far far less"

that's their insidious game

And now, I have to figure out how to make an eVISA account.

The UK Government sent me an email, as it is wont to do.

"If you did not receive this email directly from the Home Office, it may not be possible to create your account or view your eVisa yet.

Dear Sir/Madam,
We have previously contacted you to take action to create a UKVI account and access your eVisa.

To do this, go to gov.uk/get-access-evisa to get access to your eVisa.

Your biometric residence permit (BRP) will expire on [redacted]. To prove your immigration status after this date you will need to replace your BRP with an eVisa, which is free and easy to do. The expiration of your BRP card does not affect your immigration status.

Your BRP will not be replaced when it expires. You should take action to create a UKVI account and access your eVisa before your BRP expires, so you can continue to prove your immigration status easily.

If you have already completed all of the steps to create your account and access your eVisa, you can ignore this message.
What you need to do now

You need to set up access to your eVisa, which will replace your BRP.

You will need:

your BRP number (or visa or immigration application number)
your passport (if you do not have a BRP)
access to an email address and phone number
access to a smartphone

Go to gov.uk/get-access-evisa to get access to your eVisa.
Got a question?

To watch a video on how to create a UKVI account and access your eVisa go to youtube.com/watch?v=r2LYfUNTiE.

For more information about eVisas and to get help creating your UKVI account, visit: gov.uk/evisa.
Already have an eVisa or another physical document?

Go to gov.uk/evisa for more information on how this change will affect you. Other physical documents include things like a certificate of entitlement of right of abode.
Legal representative, or an immigration application advisor?

If you are a legal representative or advisor and used your email address for client immigration applications, please ignore this message. We will provide more information later this year.
Stay updated

For the latest eVisa information visit gov.uk/evisa, and sign up for updates. This page will be regularly updated throughout 2024."

I followed the linked process (after checking it wasn't a scam).
I reached a feedback loop so I asked the help desk.

"Life in the UK Test , Question 16 of 24: What percentage of the work force are women?
50%, 40%, 60%, or 30%.
Incorrect
Women in Britain today make up about half of the workforce. On average, girls leave school with better qualifications than boys. More women than men study at university."

Guess what I answered and they said was correct.

Did you know?!
The UK Home Office (or maybe the DWP? Idfk) recorded my fingerprints before I could get my Biometric Residence Permit.
No notice that this would happen; my employer told me when they called to explain why they couldn't pay me or offer more shifts.
They didn't already have my fingerprints because I have never intentionally broken a law.
They stopped my employer from giving me any more shifts at uni until I paid £130 I didn't have for the privilege. Got my pay eventually.
There was no fucking choice if I wanted to remain here legally.
And then the BRP share codes became a requirement in years since.
My prospective employer kindly let me know mid-paperwork following successful interview.
The story continues...! 🏇
