"the border separates things and people precisely because they are already intertwined rather than preventing them from becoming intertwined" This is a very good way of stating it! Border-as-Flesh: Towards a Theory of Border Reversibility muse.jhu.edu/article/971352

I picked the wrong conjuncture to quit nicotine


Couldn't agree more 😀

Paolo Novak, Senior Lecturer in Development Studies and Co-Director of Centre for Migration and Diaspora Studies at University of London, SOAS, hit the nail smack on the head when he told the BBC that some of these issues are "unresolvable"



The asylum accommodation “ problem” is about how the state organises inequality. Hotels, barracks, flats – all are political battlegrounds where the wider inequalities in our society are exposed. #asylumhotels @SOASDevelopment @SOAS_CMDS @BrisUniPress soas.ac.uk/about/blogs/fi…

For those asking what Palestine reveals about the world - and what it demands of us - this book is one small intervention in a much larger fight. We hope you’ll read it, share it, and organise with it.

There's a race to the bottom amongst European governments in the way they treat refugees & other migrants. But 160 civil society associations are resisting this trend, with a demand to Stop the Inhumanity at Europe's Borders. Read our Manifesto! against-inhumanity.org/wp-content/upl…

The director of Physicians for Human Rights–Israel confirmed that Dr. Adnan al-Bursh from Gaza was killed under torture in Israeli custody. He is one of hundreds of doctors, nurses & paramedics killed and among the many medical staff detained.

2.5 years ago, I wrote that "The attack on Knowsley residents is not just an attack on migrants. It is an attack on all of us." I stand by that statement as I watch even-more-far right groups ready to wage even-more violent protests #asylumhotels soas.ac.uk/about/blogs/ri….

To equate a spray can of paint with a suicide bomb isn't just absurd, it is grotesque. It is a deliberate distortion of the law to chill dissent, criminalise solidarity & suppress the truth about UK complicity in genocide. My full speech against proscribing Palestine Action:
