“Migration is a social phenomenon, not a crime.
We must protect lives, not punish those seeking safety and dignity.” — Adla Shashati, Greek Forum of Migrants

The EU is systematically stripping people on the move of their rights.

Through EU-level cooperation between conservatives and far right politicians, new migration and asylum regulations will phase in during 2026, which will see detention, surveillance, and deportation being expanded. People will be increasingly locked up in prison-like “repatriation centres”, some of which are outside the EU, with fewer legal safeguards and less access to support.

The idea of “safe countries of origin” is being fast-tracked, placing the heavy burden of proof on people on the move, making it absurdly harder for those seeking safety to prove their need for protection if they come from a country included in the list. Legal aid is being restricted. For those in detention, it risks being abolished altogether.

We oppose this EU border regime built on racism, punishment, and exclusion.

We need to reject borders from our territories and our minds, and deconstruct all systems that decide who is allowed to live freely. We need to dream of a world without cages.

Rien ne sert de vous penser en concurrence avec des travailleur·euses à l'autre bout de la planète, on ne s'en sortira que grâce à la solidarité internationale.

Dr. Gladys West,
the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology,
has died. She passed away Saturday, surrounded by her loving family. She was 95.

Born into poverty on a Virginia farm during the Jim Crow era, West grew up in a segregated South where opportunity was scarce.

Through determination and extraordinary academic talent,
she graduated first in her high school class and earned a scholarship to Virginia State College (now Virginia State University).

She received her bachelor’s degree in mathematics in 1952 and went on to earn a master’s degree in 1955.

In 1956, West began working as a mathematician at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Dahlgren, Virginia.

She was only the second African American woman hired at the base and one of just four African American employees at the time.

What followed was a career that would quietly change the world.

Over many years, Jane Plitt, founder and board chair of the Alexandria-based "National Center for Women’s Innovations" (NCWI), made it her mission to put Gladys West on the map
—quite literally.

West’s story became the centerpiece of NCWI’s inaugural work,
culminating in a lavish gala celebrating her 93rd birthday on October 27, 2023.

Emceed by Deborah Roberts, the evening showcased West’s extraordinary contributions,
with West herself declaring,
“This is the best day of my life.”

I just searched “anarcho-syndicalism” on Shitter and holy hell, I cannot fucking believe what I’m seeing. People are talking straight out of their asses. They treat it like a meme, like it’s some chaotic buzzword, when it means workers taking control of their own labor, seizing their workplaces, organizing through federations, striking, sabotaging, and tearing down every hierarchy built to crush them.

These people have zero historical sense. Anarcho-syndicalists fought, bled, and died for the idea of collective power, for freedom without bosses or parties dictating the struggle. And now I’ve got Shitter threads full of smug halfwits spouting garbage they clearly just made up, teaching each other wrong shit like it’s gospel. The blind leading the blind, all congratulating each other for being clever while spreading ignorance like a virus.

And when someone types “oh it’s just chaos lol,” I want to slam my laptop shut so hard it breaks. Go stand on a picket line. Go read a union pamphlet that smells like sweat and ink. Go look at the names of workers executed for daring to fight back. Every ignorant post on that site insults centuries of working-class struggle. Either learn the history or shut the hell up.

I heard last week that the physics teacher of the daughter of one of my colleagues told the daughter that girls who do their nails don’t do physics. Sigh.

So, here are the nails of an internationally leading particle physics professor. My nails.

Don’t believe the gatekeepers! #womeninSTEM

Massacre in Iran
Solidarity with the brave protesters

Bullets and death instead of freedom and life

Iranians are rising up en masse against the authoritarian, theocratic Mullah Regime. The protests were triggered by a severe economic crisis and are sharply directed against the oppressive regime.

Protesters are being killed, sentenced to death, detained, and silenced through arrests and internet shutdowns to cut communication inside and outside the country.

The people of Iran have the right to decide their own future and to rebel against their oppression! We stand with all protesters standing up for freedom and equal rights.

All eyes on Iran.

2025 in the central Mediterrenean
for people on the move

In 2025 the central Mediterrenean remained one of the deadliest borders in the world. In the last 12 months at least 1,184 people have died or are missing while attempting to cross the sea between Libya, Tunisia and Italy.

Libyan actors have increased their presence not only in front of the Libyan coast but also in international waters, and at least 25,286 people have been violently intercepted and returned to Libyan detention centers, where torture, sexual violence and slavery is still rife.

Even though it can be hard to confirm numbers it is assumed that thousands of people are still stuck, sometimes for years in these horrific camps.

10 years after Italy stopped the last EU state organised Rescue programme, the central Mediterranean remains a deadly symbol of Europe’s cruel and racist border regime.

However, it also remains a symbol of resilience and strength for people on the move, determined to defy Fortress Europe.

Solidarity and Resistance.
