EU governments are pushing to set up deportation camps in non-EU countries — and to do so in a way that avoids judicial scrutiny.
These so-called “return hubs” would hold people who have received a final deportation order, even if they cannot be sent to their country of origin.
Pack Your Corporate Social Media Go Bag
If you use #Meta, #Bluesky or #Substack have an escape plan!
As repeatedly demonstrated, corporate platforms are vulnerable. Will you be ready when they inevitably bend to data exploitation, political manipulation and censorship? Has it already started?
Have a plan to evacuate to Public Social Media. Create backup accounts on #Mastodon and #Ghost and use them as secondaries. Be prepared. Begin building your online presence free from corporate overlords.

Really cool commission I hadn't shared outside of my Ko-fi yet: @cato contracted me to design a real printed circuit board to use as a badge for the event FurryTram Frankfurt!
Learning to set up the vector layers to be manufactured as one was really neat. Cato also thoughtfully sent me my own copy!

O Paquistão usou 100% de armas chinesas e transformou em sucata cinco dos melhores aviões de guerra ocidentais e russos da Índia.
Eles voaram com Rafales franceses, drones israelenses, MiGs russos e mísseis SCALP... e nenhum deles conseguiu voltar para casa. Zero.
Primeiro abate de um Rafale? Cortesia de Pequim. Espero que a Dassault tenha mandado flores.
As ações da Dassault caíram, os investidores ocidentais entraram em pânico e as ações de defesa chinesas dispararam 18% em um dia. Aparentemente, os jatos chineses baratos podem realmente ser mais poderosos do que um bird da OTAN de US$ 100 milhões. Quem sabia? A China sabia😄
Enquanto isso, em Tel Aviv: modo de pânico existencial ativado (quando é que isso nunca aconteceu?)
A mídia israelense está "oficialmente preocupada" porque adivinhe quem também possui esses mesmos sistemas de defesa chineses? O Egito.
Sim, o mesmo Egito que acabou de voar com JF-17s chineses sobre as pirâmides em exercícios conjuntos com a China. Mazel Tov😉.
O que acabou de acontecer não foi uma briga regional. Foi um anúncio global: A tecnologia militar ocidental não é intocável. E Israel? Talvez pare de se preocupar com as armas nucleares do Irã e comece a se preocupar com os mísseis chineses estacionados na porta ao lado? Ou talvez não se preocupe... para que possamos ter uma surpresa agradável de vez em quando?
Bem-vindo à nova era.
Impulsionada pela China. Com o pânico do Ocidente.

A imagem mostra duas bandeiras cruzadas, uma da Índia e outra do Paquistão, contra um fundo escuro. A bandeira da Índia tem três faixas horizontais: saffron (laranja) na parte superior, branca no meio e verde na parte inferior, com um Ashoka Chakra (roda azul) no centro da faixa branca. A bandeira do Paquistão tem duas faixas verticais: branca na parte de trás e verde na frente, com uma lua crescente e uma estrela branca no centro da faixa verde. Entre as bandeiras, há uma barreira de arame farpado, simbolizando uma fronteira ou conflito entre os dois países.

Always considered "Cosmic Conspiracy" to be maybe /the/ most underrated piece of music the German death metal subculture ever managed to come up with. Apparently the band somehow reunited in 2023 and re-released that album (pay-what-you-want, no minimum) via bandcamp. And ... there's even a website talking about upcoming new stuff. Would be interesting. For sure.

Dobrindt hat bei der #Maut schon gezeigt, dass ihm #Recht und #Gesetz egal sind.
Er und Söder haben die ganze Zeit gesagt, dass sie sich nicht daran halten wollen.
Dadurch, dass M€rz ihn zum Innenminister ernannt (und diverse Ministerien an Wirtschaftsvertreter vergeben) hat, hat er bewiesen, dass Gesetze künftig ausschließlich dazu dienen sollen, die Bevölkerung zu gängeln.

'Great is justice. It is in the soul.'
Old words from Walt Whitman.
“Great is Justice; Justice is not settled by legislators and laws…it is in the soul.
It cannot be varied by statutes any more than love or pride or the attraction of gravity can, It is immutable… it does not depend on majorities… majorities or what not come at last before the same passionless and exact tribunal.

Under 36 hours left to give a statement of support. Until end of 17. of May!
Total reached so far: 971.914
8 countries have reached the threshold so far, 7 were needed, but every other signation helps, also in case of fake or wrong signations, to still get over the 1 million signations.
Especially #denmark #Italy and #Sweden might still be able to reach over 100%.
France got over 900% now, signations from there are also still wanted!
An initiative a few months back on safe abortion rights had almost 1.2 million in the end, which was their target from the beginning and is needed to be safe.
If 1 million gets reached, the initiative is legally binding the EU to do something about a ban.

ORG has responded to the government's plans to rely on the deeply flawed eVisa scheme to carry out immigration raids and deport people.
As ORG's @sarahalsherif says, "with the use of technology, automated decision-making and AI, we can expect to see a Windrush scandal on steroids."

The art of books & the beauty of different editions.
I remember buying the trade edition, but had forgotten the title, so when I came across the mass market edition I scooped it up. It could be said that I should donate one of them, but I don’t really care for that idea. I collect books, especially by certain authors, JCO being one. Really, I just need to decide which edition to read, or I could split my time between the two. Choices, choices. 📚 #bookstodon #photography
