Very good news from the east of Germany, where the far-right (AfD) has its strongest base - the AfD got soundly defeated in two mayoral elections, in places where they were trying to use the presence of people seeking asylum as a decisive issue. Many voters rejected that outlook. That's hopeful.

Christian Bangel @christianbangel.bsky.social · 2d

Wieder ein schlechter Tag für die AfD im Osten.
Deklassiert in der OB-Stichwahl in Frankfurt (Oder) und sogar in Eisenhüttenstadt - wo sie sich echte Hoffnung machte - deutlich verloren.

Exploitation embedded in the business model of refugee support

‘Empowerment’ models let refugees into labour markets, but they also remove safety nets and invite exploitation

Deliberate refusal to understand and therefore an alacrity to misrepresent issues is required to rise to the top of colonial institutions

We mourn. We rest. We renew our strength and commitment. Then we turn up again and again and again. Until liberation and accountability.

We won’t forget. We won’t forgive. We can’t. For all our sakes!

Can we all just now admit that over 20 years on from the September 11 attacks on the Twin Towers, Osama bin Laden definitively won the the ‘war on terror’. The US is now demonstrably weaker, more divided, animated by more strident extremism, and governed by their own version of the Taliban.
