Jesus, they couldn't wait

Trick Clock | Lillian Perlmutter Seasonal migrant workers are the backbone of the agriculture industry. Labor abuse is already widespread—but it’s set to get worse under Trump.

“You have one guy who knows his rights and you lose all of them.”

Across the US, seasonal migrant workers face exploitation, extortion, and dangerous job conditions. Lillian Perlmutter @thebaffler.com spoke to over a dozen of them to learn about their experiences.

It is very clear Syria is still not a safe country. It is obvious that there will still be people needing asylum. Germany, Austria, France et al freezing claims shows how countries just wait for an excuse, and will use any they can, to prevent people seeking safety, even when lives are still at risk

For the @techpolicypress.bsky.social, @justinhendrix.bsky.social and I spoke about border tech, dehumanization, and how we can fight the politics of difference that separate us from one another.

Telegraph headline saying: "Guy Dampier Asylum hotels could bring Britain’s welfare state to its knees Time is running out for Labour to get a grip on the cost of housing Channel crossers"

No it couldn't. Hope that helps.

Immigration, borders and asylum actually, despite political posturing, have minimal impact on other areas because they are primarily self funded, via other migrants' extortionate visa costs for example. This is purely fearmongering and scapegoating by the Telegraph.

Essential in a country like Malaysia, facing increasing impex pressures, labour mkt stressors, and race to the bottom tactics by suppliers and businesses.

I'm looking for women-run orgs working with returnee female migrant workers or current domestic workers at destination countries for the Global South. Potential solidarity/advocacy networking opportunity. Any leads? Do your thing Bsky pls 🥺🙏

What we are seeing in Sudan is a mass mobilization of people coordinating relief efforts in the face of an inadequate intl. aid response and an absent civilian state. The situation is catastrophic AND ppl can learn frm the mutual aid networks they built.

Have not seen much on here on Sudan, so I'm amplifying this horrific report that shows the number who are killed is higher than previously estimated.

Adding here other writing to read to understand this war that has displaced over 11 million people; the highest displacement crisis globally. 🧵

Anyways follow @bsonblast.bsky.social for news and updates on Sudan!

I can't forget a single face I met on the trip. I doubt whether the places in these pics still exist. Not once did I feel like an outsider. The Sudanese are extremely warm, community-minded and optimistic (of their futures at the time). #Sudan and her people deserve better!

Soon after we returned however, the govt fell to a military coup d'etat headed by Burhan. And when the RSF began attacking civilians and citizens fled, I kept checking up on colleagues and friends I met on my trip there to know if they were safe. Some replied and moved to Port Sudan, others MIA.

A Unforgettable Sudanese Summer.
I spent 10 days in Khartoum for a research project in early 2021. We spoke to several stakeholders incl those of Hamdok transitional govt on labour migration concerns. The youth had so much hope and I was emotionally bound to Sudan since then.

As of 10 Nov, Malaysia was yet to determine and finalise whether they could be extradited. The company, for its part, categorically denied all allegations obviously.
