Good and bad news for Trans Americans.
Bad news first - An American Trans Woman has been denied asylum in the Netherlands.
We continue to discourage American trans people from seeking asylum anywhere. Premature asylum claims will make it harder later.

Maybe instead of #dogwhistle #racism from #ff and #fg about having 'top many immigrants', the government could spend some effort on stopping these attacks.
Anyone who doesn't see a direct link between the Harris's gateway racism and firebombing a #refugee centre is in denial.

“The Janjaweed showed no mercy for anyone,” said Umm Amena, mother of 4 children who fled the city Monday after 2 days, using a Sudanese term for the #RSF.
Amena was among 3 dozen people, mostly women & children, who were detained for a day by RSF fighters in an abandoned house close to the Saudi Hospital in #elFasher.
AP spoke w/ Amena & 4 others who managed to flee el-Fasher arriving exhausted & dehydrated early Tues in nearby town Tawila, ~60km west of el-Fasher, which hosts >650k #displaced.
The #UN migration agency said about 35,000 people have fled #elFasher, mostly to rural areas around it, since Sunday.
UN #refugee agency official Jacqueline Wilma Parlevliet said that the new arrivals told stories of widespread ethnic & politically motivated killings, including reports of people with disabilities shot dead because they were unable to flee, & others shot as they tried to escape.

Yesterday we posted this important message, but we've been busy... and just discovered our website went down yesterday due to misdirected email about ISP autopay. PLEASE - we do desperately need help getting these women out of this terrible prison:

Brandon Lee, spox for the #Illinois Coalition for #Immigrant & #Refugee Rights, said the group was working to identify those taken in the raid.
“It was a #violent show of force in the middle of the night,” Lee said. “Taking #families out of an apartment building in a residential neighborhood like that is harmful, is #traumatic, & that is not something that people can easily recover from, whether they themselves were taken or whether they witnessed it.”
Jones, who lives on the 4th floor, said most of his neighbors were #Venezuelan & often took turns cleaning the hallway because the property owners did little to maintain it.
“They were cool people,” Jones said as he looked into his next door neighbor’s unit. “They didn’t speak a lick of English, but we used translator apps to talk to each other.”
Jones wondered what would happen to his neighbor’s young #children.

We're aware we've been asking a lot recently, but we continue to have desperate needs, in Iraq especially.
We are, sadly, largely operating alone there. And right now we are effectively broke, with desperate people begging to be saved.
Please help.

It's not with any joy that we posted this, but we're calling it. Our advice for the USA is now officially "get out now, however you can".

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.
