Anyways...a little bit about the policies that many right wing political parties are pushing these days with regards to immigration.

Among those beheaded that day, 30 year old Tesfay Kidane. He fled Eritrea, and applied for asylum in Israel and was rejected. Israel keeps migrants like him in detention facilities, offering to let them out if they take up an offer & leave the country.

With no prospects, Tesfay decided to leave and try Libya. Israeli xenophobic migration policies sealed his fate.

THREAD: This is Naima, an Ethiopian migrant. Intent on a better life, she travelled to Libya hoping to board one of those dangerous boats to cross the Mediterranean with. Instead, she was kidnapped by Libyan human traffickers, who have enslaved her. They sent this photo and disturbing footage of her being tortured to her family, demanding a ransom of $6,000 for her life.

The images went viral last week. Libya is a hub of trafficker brutality, murder and extortion. Know more.

@intransitivelie Wealth tax used to be a thing, and should be a thing again.

Listening to the latest free episode of This Machine Kills, which discusses 'catastrophe bonds' which are used as poor-mans-insurance by various poor countries to get any sort of payout in case of climate related catastrophes like hurricanes. It's absolutely massively infuriating in so many ways.
