📢 We've launched a position paper challenging the EU’s proposed set of draconian migration reforms called the Facilitator's Package that will further criminalise migration. But what is the facilitator's package? equinox-eu.com/towards-a-safe…

1/ Last night, Magnus Brunner, former Finance Minister of Austria and von der Leyen’s pick for Commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration, faced his Commissioner confirmation hearing.

Europe’s backlash against Syrian refugees has not been about safety, dignity or human rights; it’s about racist scapegoating of refugees to curry favour with a rising far right.

Euractiv This is vile Islamophobic propaganda and it should have no place on your website. That it masquerades as Holocaust memory makes it even more sickening. Embarrassed that I once wrote for you. euractiv.com/section/politi…

‼️The Commission's guidelines on the #AIAct's prohibited practices are finally out. A whopping 140 pages long. A lot of information to digest. The guidelines on the AI system definition are not ready yet, but will be out 'soon'. digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/com…

The Paris AI Summit shows how AI is being marketed as the 'solution' to various social problems - in areas as wide as government services, policing, the military, education & climate. But the ramifications, especially for racialised people, are vast and largely overlooked 🧵

#Europol want more funding for surveillance of migrants to collect more biometric data of migrants and exchange this data between agencies. We demand #ProtectNotSurveil instead of the criminalisation and securitisation of migration.

I pitched Hind Rajab’s story to BBC News (UK) while she was still alive. I will never stop fighting for the newsroom conditions in which her story would have been told long before she was killed by Israel. We’d have seen immediate wall to wall coverage of a 5-year-old white girl.

The European Commission 2028-34 budget proposal is a war budget. Under the guise of "innovation" and "competitiveness", it slashes funds for workers, farmers, migrants & climate action to hand billions to arms dealers & tech giants. equinox-eu.com/mff2028/ 🧵👇🏿

I met Chris Smalls in Coventry in 2023, standing with Amazon workers fighting to unionise. He has been abducted & brutally assaulted by Israeli forces for trying to deliver vital aid to Palestinians in Gaza with 20 others on the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. We demand his immediate release.

UK government never wanted you to see this They spent 20 months concealing flight path of RAF spy missions over Gaza for Israel But they recently contracted it out to a US company - and new pilot soon forgot to turn off his transponder This is evidence for a war crimes trial

“I was routinely asked to amend my reports to make the situation sound less bad…” The Gaza Tribunal is hearing from Mark Smith, a former civil servant who resigned from the Foreign Office over the UK government’s arms sales to Israel. 📺 Watch: youtube.com/watch?v=Ezu5Oo…

Last week I wrote to Coventry City Council about their £500,000 contract with Palantir. Palantir is a partner in Israel’s genocide in Gaza, collaborates with ICE in the US & is embedded in our NHS. Coventry (& the NHS) must divest from genocide & protect jobs, services & data.

🚨 The EU’s new “Return Regulation” is really a Deportation Regulation. It expands detention, weakens safeguards & creates profit for private contractors at the expense of people’s dignity & communities. 200 organisations call for it's rejection! equinox-eu.com/more-than-200-…
