Good bye! I have joined the great migration of 2025 and move most activities to @franck-duvell.bsky.social, please join me, many relevant colleagues are already there. Please do not feed Musk, one of the major facilitators of 21. century Fascism

In the 1920s and 1930s industrialists Porsche, Quandt, Thyssen, Kirdorf, Flick, Krupp etc supported the destruction of democracy and rise of Fascism. In 2024/25 Musk, fed by his car industry and social media empire does the same jewishvirtuallibrary.org/german-industr…

@JFCrisp Absolutely, Istanbul and certain camps in Kenia are probably almost overpopulated with researchers whereas other cases receive almost no attention (e.g. Sudan, Armenia)

Why not change the title to 'Research and knowledge gaps *and overlaps* in the field of forced migration and refugee studies'. Some issues and situations are now over-researched!

FFVT im Bundestag. Heute hatten wir ein Treffen mit Mitarbeitern der SPD-Fraktion und des Kanzleramtes und den Report Globale Flucht 2024 vorgestellt. In Abgrenzung zum rechten Diskurs wurde nach den Eckpfeilern progressiver Migrationspolitik gefragt

"Dobrindt bedient die russische Propaganda [und] ist ... argumentativ auf einer Ebene mit AfD und Sahra Wagenknecht angekommen", G Dornblüth, Deutschlandfunk, deutschlandfunk.de/kommentar-zur-…

Heute im Interview of NTV Dobrindt, CSU, Ukrainer abschieben, die nicht arbeiten. Ich halte dagegen: Ukrainer integrieren sich 30% schneller in den Arbeitsmarkt, als andere Geflüchtete, Frauen sogar 3x schneller. Vorstoß ist unfair und unproduktiv. @FFVT_Project

On World Refugee Day, in a bizare twist, German federal heads demand outsorcing asylum to third countries. FFVT met with Federal Commissioner for Integration to discuss alternative narratives. Later, I was on NTV to reject the proposals as populist and unrealistic @FFVT_Project

US to regularise 500,000 undocumented immigrants who are married to US citizens. It'll fundamentally relieve families in distress, and yet it only helps less than 5% of the irregular immigrants bbc.com/news/articles/…
