📦💥 Hi all! I am pleased to announce my #migration is progressing well!

To all my existing followers who see this, lovely to see you all again!

Sadly, due to how Mastodon and Pixelfed are (or aren't) linked, a lot of my #Pixelfed followers haven't been migrated.

If you would like to help me out, a post boost would help rediscovery 🙏

We have a trans woman who has been kept locked up in a house for a long time. She's been told she'll be allowed to leave if she leaves her country within a week.
We don't have the roughly 1000 EUR we need to move her.
Please, if you can, give. We have one week to raise the money and get her out.

Autonomies: We Do Not Belong Here: From the Diaspora to Jalut

https://autonomies.org/2025/08/we-do-not-belong-here-from-the-diaspora-to-jalut/

In the post-Nazi era, the idea that it is legitimate to decide whom we should cohabit with has held firm. “To each their own home!” It is here that populist xenophobia finds its greatest strength; crypto-racism is its springboard. However, … Continue reading →

A passenger we previously moved to a safe intermediate country has reached a Scandanavian country, where she will be able to live permanently. It's been a very long road for hr - longer than a complete circuit of the globe.

Doing this is expensive. Please, if you can help, do:

Pets have emerged as collateral damage of immigration raids in Los Angeles County that picked up this summer under the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump, when their owners get detained or deported. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/06/world/society/pets-la-shelters-immigration-raids/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #society #losangeles #california #pets #dogs #cats #animalwelfare #immigration #migration #us #donaldtrump

At the centre of the political economy of immigration is a world wide demographic reorganisation driven by falling birth rates among 'native' populations in developed countries & the continuing need for workers.

As the UK (and other countries) demonstrate '[c]ombining tacit support for economic migration with rhetorical hostility will not be sustainable'.... our political class needs to be leading a renewed discussion of migration not pandering to the Right!
