Trump stoppen: Einreiseverbot für ICE-Agenten in die EU!

Die Entsendung von ICE-Agenten zu den Olympischen Spielen ist kein Sicherheitsbeitrag, sondern eine gezielte Machtdemonstration und Einschüchterungstaktik. Die Spiele stehen für Frieden und Völkerverständigung – ICE hingegen steht für Rassismus, das Auseinanderreißen von Familien und staatliche Willkür. Europa muss eine rote Linie ziehen: • Rechtliche Handhabe: Gemäß dem Schengener Grenzkodex kann die Einreise verweigert werden, wenn eine Person eine Gefahr für die öffentliche Ordnung oder...

‘Fuck You, Make Me’ Without Saying the Words

The next time Tim Cook says “privacy is a human right,” the only possible response is to laugh in his face. I mean, Apple and Google are fine distributing an app that has created an undressed image #Grok made of Renee Nicole #Good, the mother who was shot by ICE in Minneapolis

How do you plan to defend getting rid of the #ICEBlock app while allowing #X to generate degrading images of a woman #ICE killed? Can #Apple & #Google even identify their values beyond their commitment to “shareholder value”?
