Decolonize urban ‘development’ as spearhead of the FIFA 2014 in Brazil! Stop evictions and injustice!
The NSU neo-Nazi gang and the German intelligence service [WSWS]
“These right-wing, racist and profoundly anti-democratic traditions of the German state apparatus, which indicate the close links between the NSU murders and the intelligence agencies, are to be kept secret in the Munich trial. This is the only conclusion that can be drawn from the trial so far.”
State racism and the National Socialist Underground murders [EXBERLINER]
“The real problem is everyday racism. I can’t imagine that other Western states have such a hard time seeing themselves as multicultural societies. We need to democratise our institutions.”
Report shows neo-Nazi NSU on terror radar prior to murders | News | DW.DE | 21.05.2013
A German TV documentary has obtained investigators’ correspondence suggesting that Saxony’s domestic intelligence service already considered the NSU to “resemble” a terrorist cell, before its first murder.
The racist terrorist group was known already in 2000! The German state was not capable to ensure safety to the people living here. I am wondering where is the international press, reporting and asking questions about Institutional Racism in Germany? Where?
For me, Trans Feminism is a transformative way of thinking about feminism, feminism inclusive of all identities; especially those pushed to the margins like HIV+ women, sex workers, differently abled women, transgender and intersex women, refugees and internally and externally displaced individuals. I see all those identities in Trans Feminism. The use of the word Trans for me is not specifically used in the context of gender variance but Trans (formative): an alternative to the brand of feminisms typified by rigid practices and ideologies like hairy armpits and unshaven legs, power hierarchies about who belongs and who doesn’t.

Der Migrationsrat berichtet über die Konferenz
DECOLONIZE THE CITY! Ein Review von Cristina Martín
hier ein kurzer Ausschnitt - mehr im Newsletter des Migrationsrates, einfach dem Link folgen.
Die Konferenz schuf einen sicheren Raum, in welchem mit Hilfe von ehrenamtlich tätigen Dolmetscher_innen, aufregende und inspirierende Diskussionen zwischen den Moderator_innen, den Gästen und dem Publikum geführt wurden. In allen Gesprächen drehte es sich um die kolonialen Kontinuitäten, die neoliberale Städte, wie Berlin prägen und die sich in Form von institutionellem und strukturellem Rassismus manifestieren. Ella Shohat, Mariam Popal, Yasemin Shooman, Kien Nghi Ha, Kanishka Goodewardena, Ruth Gilmore Wilson, Jin Haritaworn oder Ramón Grosfoguel sind nur einige der nationalen und internationalen Gäste, die während dieser dreitägigen Konferenz ihre Ansätze zur Dekolonisierung der Stadt aus verschiedenen Perspektiven vorgestellt haben. Diese Konferenz ist der erste (große) Schritt in der Etablierung der Dekolonisierungsdebatte in unserer Stadt, bei der Menschen of Color konstruktive Kritik erhalten konnten.
12.&13. Oct 2012 Congress on racial profiling in Berlin, organized by KOP
German version:
Die Tagung Racial Profiling Reloaded ist bereits die vierte Veranstaltung, die KOP zu diesem Thema durchführt. Nach „Gewalt. Polizei. Rassismus. Wenn die Polizei zum Täter wird“ (2005), „Vom Polizeigriff zum Übergriff“ (2007) und „Racial Profiling or The colour of guilt and innocence - Zur rassistischen Motivation polizeilicher Praxis“ (2009) steht diesmal der gemeinsame und koordinierte Kampf gegen Racial Profiling im Mittelpunkt. Zusammen wollen wir unsere Strategien austauschen, interdisziplinär bündeln und schlussendlich als starkes Netzwerk abstimmen.
