Congo isn't “resource-cursed.” It is exploited. The curse is colonialism, not the minerals or the people.

Just in case the government missed the message: we are not going away. A statement from the Independent Alliance on Nakba Day.

We ARE becoming strangers — not because of migrants, but because of insecure work, (anti-)social media, lack of shared spaces and low wages preventing socialising. Bring back youth clubs, fix community centres, support workers. Invest in our country — don’t scapegoat migrants.

⚠️Welsh police forces have just introduced an intrusive "on-the-spot" facial recognition app. "Resorting straight to biometric surveillance when they're using so many unlawfully held images and when this technology....it's incredibly concerning." @JHurfurt tells @ITVWales

Despite ICC arrest warrants & the ICJ's interim ruling, the UK continues to export components for F-35 jets, facilitates arms deliveries via RAF Akrotiri & conducts daily surveillance flights over Gaza. The UK is not a passive bystander to genocide. It is an active participant.

For the past year, millions of us around the world have made repeated, desperate calls for a ceasefire. We demanded an end to the genocide. We warned of a disastrous regional conflict. We were ignored. Governments have fuelled the machinery of war. Their indifference to human life has destroyed prospects for peace and endangered us all. All of this violence was entirely avoidable. Without urgent de-escalation, more unimaginable horror is on the horizon. It’s time to listen to the voices of ordinary people across the globe calling for peace. That means ending the root cause of this appalling cycle of violence: the occupation of Palestine.

When politicians demonise migrants, the far right listen. When they say refugees should be “sent back to where they came from”, the far right listen. When they complain about asylum seekers staying in hotels, the far right listen. Let’s promote a message of unity instead. One that tackles the issues facing us all: the housing crisis, the collapse of our NHS and the disaster of privatisation. One that gives hope to all communities that a fairer society is possible. Stand up to racism. Defend refugees. Inspire belief in a better world. That is how you defeat the far right once and for all.

We are going to have to been in a practice of deep community and movement building, our safety sits with each other only. This is what we have been rehearsing/training/practicing for meaning; it’s gonna be messy, contradictory & we are gonna have to find ways forward together 1/

I know we know this, but it’s still so wild how the prison population are seen as totally unworthy of protection. As there’s a drive to lock up racists quickly and in large numbers (pointless) notions of protecting the public invisibilise folk inside. The many PoC inside.

This isn't change. Scrapping the Rwanda Scheme and replacing it with violent raids & increased border militarisation is just more of the same. Intensifying the Hostile Environment will only worsen life for migrants and harm all our communities. independent.co.uk/news/uk/po…
