Listening to Ali Velshi talk about how states are trying to prosecute women who go out of state for abortions. Each state is becoming like it's own country. They want to police abortions, we want to police guns. How long until we have border walls between states?

Debt, Distress & Antidepressants: Thousands Struggle To Recover From A J&K Trade Route Closed 4 Years Ago
On 8 March 2019, the Indian government shut down for repairs a single-lane ‘bridge of peace’, suspending a flourishing barter trade between Kashmiris in India and Pakistan. The bridge never reopened. Thousands of jobs were hit and crores lost by the overnight closure, as traders found themselves unable to repay loans or clear stocks. Article14 found shuttered hotels, godowns and depressed traders, labourers and others still struggling to cope with the end of a once-booming economy.

Frontex, dass wohl als eine von der EU eigens zur gnadenlosen Bekämpfung von Menschen in Not eingerichtete Agentur bezeichnet werden kann, baut die Überwachung immer weiter aus.
Mit Millionensummen werden hier neue Überwachungs- und Kontrolltechniken an den Schwächsten und Wehrlosesten erprobt und verfeinert.
Wir sollten nicht zulassen, dass immer mehr sichtbare und unsichtbare Grenzen um uns herum gezogen werden, die uns alle zu Gefangenen machen!
Mauern einreißen! Frontex versenken!

Want to see atmospheric yet often really mundane border photos? My online 🇨🇭🇫🇷 walking journal is moving here, as I’m enjoying this new online atmosphere. (I’m freezing new posts on Twatter & just ‘name-holding’ my account.)

It’s surprising to me how many border stones are carved erroneously. It’s almost embarrassing — but perfectly delightful too! — how much time and money must have been invested to lay this one with an S (for 🇫🇷 Savoie) carved backwards (🇨🇭was G for Geneva on that one). Or maybe it was done on purpose as a subtle insult?
(One advantage of my mini-border-crossing adventures is that I get to visit French boulangeries. For research purposes, obviously.) #BorderWalk#borders#visualMethods#geography
