Africa: No Visas, One Africa: [Liberian Observer] As debates over migration, borders, and national sovereignty intensify across the globe, a small but determined Pan-African team is crisscrossing the continent with a bold message--Africa must dismantle its internal visa regimes and reclaim the freedom of movement envisioned by its founding fathers.

I have a memory of President Reagan making a speech in which he compared the freedom of movement that Americans enjoyed to what happened in the Soviet Union. If I remember correctly, he said something about Americans not needing to show their papers everywhere they went. Can anyone point me to a speech he made where he said something like that? My searches online haven't come up with anything so far. #RonaldReagan #FreedomOfMovement #PapersPlease #SovietUnion
Criminalizing solidarity must have consequences.
Yesterday we testified in Milan in the defamation trial against #MaurizioBelpietro, who in 2022 labelled search and rescue NGOs “the new pirates" in the magazine, #Panaroma.
This attack did not just target NGOs, it was part of a narrative built to discredit people on the move and make deaths at sea acceptable.
We stand alongside NGOs defending a simple truth:
saving lives is a duty, not piracy and not a crime.
Discrediting those who do it is.
I know this is the #BigotBroadcastingCorporation but I don't doubt this but CNN, CBS and Politico also confirm this.
Here's the SCOTUS' official writing and here's a legal blog going over it.
Obviously #Sotomayor dissents, alongside #Jackson...
I'm neither a #US citizen nor #trans nor #nonbinary, (and yes these things ain't necessarily correlated!) but if I were I'd certainly #GTFO and find an #immigration #lawyer to check options given the #TransGenocide that is being orchestrated.
- Cuz legally #ForcedDetransition is just that! THIS is exactly how the #Nazis trapped Trans* and Nonbinary individuals as well as Jews and opposition figures in Germany: By refusing to issue #Passports or having them stamped with a red J.
Refusing to issue documents consistent with someone's gender identity is basically an "invisible T-Stamp" because in the age of #NakedScanners* this will get people incarcerated, denied entry or deported for "identitiy fraud".
- Just like #Switzerland and #Sweden denied people without explicit visa entry if they had a red J stamped on their #passports!

“ #Scotland voted decisively to remain in the EU in 2016. #Brexit has severely damaged Scotland and the wider UK’s economy and society. It has restricted #FreedomOfMovement, reduced opportunities for cultural exchange, harmed trade. Our position is clear: Scotland’s interests are best served by #RejoinEU as an independent member state. In the interim, we support rebuilding the deepest and most ambitious partnership possible with the EU.”

#GuyVerhofstadt speaking at #EuropeanMovement in #Scotland annual dinner:
“We are at a turning point in Europe’s story. The European Union is one of the greatest political achievements of history. It brought 80 years of peace, stability, growing prosperity and liberal democracy to the continent. All the evidence is that the people of Scotland and of the UK wish they were still in the EU."
