Disinformation actors often operate far outside the bounds of decency, law, and norms to widely spread harmful narratives that affect global policy, social engagement, and the stability of infrastructure—like democracy—that businesses rely on.

Langzaam verpulvert de rechtsstaat en door eigen toedoen.

Onder het mom van zelfbescherming (zie lnkd.in/eh7DzXg).

En toch praten we liever over haarsnit, uitstraling, stropdas.

Over het oppervlak, terwijl de fundering scheurt.

On #AntiSlaveryDay, we took a message to the streets of London to shine a light on modern slavery. Because ending it is everyone's business.

States like Russia can only "weaponise" migration because of other states utter hostility towards those seeking a safer life. The answer isn't to make it harder for people to seek asylum. It's to invest in systems which make it easier, and support everyone.

I focused this, far too long, thread primarily on policy and tried, as much as possible, to keep personal views limited. Here's what really pisses me off though, at least Conservatives and Reform are honest about who they target with anti-immigration bs, Labour still pretends to be "progressive" 1/5
Very long thread: As with many of Labour's anti-immigration policies, this isn't new. British police have been stationed in other countries for this purpose for a long time
It does however show how Labour is pushing more on anti-immigration than previous governments. 1/

Modern slavery exists here.

And it’s the reality for many agricultural workers, including migrant workers, around the world who harvest the fruits and vegetables on our supermarket shelves.

Surprise, surprise but here we go again @gbnewsonline.bsky.social deliberately conflating the issue of migration and #modernslavery. Just a wee reminder, modern slavery is a serious crime with victims and perpetrators and not an migration issue which is not a crime. www.gbnews.com/politics/mig...

The EU-funded deportation centre near the Turkish-Syrian border.

Last year, journalists revealed illegal deportations and violence against refugees. The EU just hands over the money, no questions asked.

These are the direct, deadly and intentional consequences of EU policy.

The Home Secretary’s framing of “vexatious, last‐minute” #modernslavery claims is deeply troubling. Suggesting victims “suddenly deciding” they are modern slaves on the eve of deportation isn’t just inaccurate. 🧵

When Assad’s security state collapsed, locked doors opened, spilling decades of secrets.

Under the Assad regime, hundreds of Syrian children were hidden in orphanages to extort their parents. Families still have few answers from the new government or the international charity that kept it...
