In early July, the top official at the U.S. Embassy in South Africa asked Washington if nonwhites could apply for a refugee program geared toward white South Africans if they met other requirements. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/26/world/politics/us-nonwhites-trump-south-african-refugees/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #southafrica #us #donaldtrump #discrimination #race #refugees #immigration
Days before U.S. President Donald Trump said he would help Afghan evacuees who fled their country and were stuck in the United Arab Emirates, the Emirati government had already begun returning them to Afghanistan. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/22/world/politics/trump-afghans-uae-evacuees/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #uae #afghanistan #refugees #taliban #us #donaldtrump #middleeast

In corridors outside a Manhattan courtroom in New York City, masked agents target and arrest migrants attending mandatory hearings as part of U.S. President Donald Trump's escalating immigration crackdown. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/18/world/us-asylum-seekers-arrested/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #us #immigration #refugees

Remember this next time you vote! The far-right's bullshit about refugees is only to distract you from the fact that they themselves are the problem, not refugees!

Tell your politicians: We want a just and fair immigration system that is as welcoming as Canadians are.

Today there was a demonstration in #Amsterdam for free migration and refugee rights. Organised by MiGreat (https://migreat.org/en). The weather was great (a bit to sweltering) with mostly nice people. The only disappointment was the turnout, but that also made it nicer in a certain way. The reason for the turnout was probably; 1. people were to tired after the NATO-summit; 2. the municipality decided to move us out of the center, a 15 min. walk from the nearest public transport (although not having to trip over tourists is also a plus); 3. there was also a demo against an anti-refugee demo in Haarlem.
Here is a short time-lapse (via MiGreat with permission, blur is ours) at the moment we arrived back in the Martin Luther King Park (the start and finish).
📣 A shout-out to @MokumTegenFascisme.

Ten years ago, the European Union vowed as one to take in refugees after a 3-year-old Syrian boy washed up dead on a beach. Now, keeping migrants out is the key goal, as governments play to right-leaning voters. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/06/24/world/politics/eu-migration-hard-line-compassion/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #immigration #refugees #eu
