🇺🇸 📬 Undocumented immigrants in Lincoln City, OR, are being sent letters urging them to self-report to ICE.

Immigrants are an essential part of the labor force, yet they’re targeted and exploited. We must demand dignity and justice for all workers.

Letters asking people to track immigrants concern Oregon sheriff

A sheriff in rural, coastal Oregon says he's concerned about letters asking residents to collect information on immigrants. The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office says the letters have been circulating throughout the county. KPTV reports that the letter asks people to write down the license plate numbers of cars believed to belong to immigrants who might lack a permanent legal status. The sheriff and the mayor of a small town in the county were among those who received copies of the letter in their mailboxes. Sheriff Curtis Landers told KPTV that he has notified the FBI. Under Oregon's sanctuary law, local police are mostly prohibited from enforcing federal immigration law.

Germany’s Conservative and Liberal Parties Pander to the Right-Wing

For over a week, #Germany has been controlling all border crossings, undermining the Schengen Agreement and the core values #Europe claims to represent. This backward, misanthropic approach uses "security" as a pretext which supports the propagandistic agenda of the fascists.

Borders are closing, asylum rights are being restricted, and illegal pushbacks are on the rise.

Germany, stop pandering to the right-wing! #Asylum rights are human rights and must be protected. Stand up for solidarity and take a firm stance against fascism!

@chu Can't help but seeing a thread of people feeling very satisfied about knowing some stuff that other people don't.

Lighting INTER-INDIVIDUAL fires not very constructive to our COLLECTIVE struggle.

I will be supporting striking nurses this week. Clapping on doorsteps is a hollow gesture unless we are prepared to directly support them and fight for the survival of our NHS ripped apart by this, and countless other, heartless and corrupt Tory governments #NHS #solidaritynow #nurses
