"Berlin’s immigration authorities are moving to deport four young foreign residents on allegations related to participation in protests against Israel’s war on Gaza, an unprecedented move that raises serious concerns over civil liberties in Germany.

The deportation orders, issued under German migration law, were made amid political pressure and over internal objections from the head of the state of Berlin’s immigration agency. The internal strife arose because three of those targeted for deportation are citizens of European Union member states who normally enjoy freedom of movement between E.U. countries.

The orders — issued by the state of Berlin, whose Senate administration oversees immigration enforcement — are set to take effect in less than a month. None of the four has been convicted of any crimes.

The cases are drawing comparisons to the U.S.’s use of deportation orders to suppress social movements.

“What we’re seeing here is straight out of the far right’s playbook,” said Alexander Gorski, a lawyer representing two of the protesters. “You can see it in the U.S. and Germany, too: Political dissent is silenced by targeting the migration status of protesters.”"

When #people #park in the #bike lane

I'm so fucking sick of these attacks on human rights.

I propose the following course of action:

We pick a specific target and trash its value.
- Do whatever we can to make it lose money, customers, resources, employees, reputation.
- Do our best to make it toxic waste that investors won't touch.
- We make it easy for anyone to join the carnage.
- We keep hammering it until it dies or we get protections

Then we collectively pick another target and do it again.

And again.

Until the dying screams of US corporations reach the ears of those with the power to call off the attacks on women, minorities, LGBTQ+ people, disabled people, and everyone else this administration is going after.

When they stop, we stop, negotiate, and stand ready to start again if they don't follow through.

I suggest Tesla be the first to burn.

May I just say so myself that I‘m loving playing with Kitten¹ to build Domain² (shown below) and Place³.
