Immigrants in #Germany: I'm forwarding this info:

> Important warning for anyone with a temporary suspension of deportation (Duldung)!

Do not take your cell phone to the immigration office if you have a temporary suspension of deportation (Duldung)! There are reports that the office confiscates cell phones to search them for documents or evidence of nationality.

Even if nothing is found, the phone is often not returned until a valid passport or ID card is presented – and this can lead to deportation.

This practice affects many foreign nationals. Therefore: Leave your cell phone at home if you need to extend your temporary suspension of deportation (Duldung)!

Share this information so that no one is caught unprepared in this situation.

Another proposal would be use of a cheap & „clean“ phone with only a few numbers/contacts and no photos/data that could put people into risk. to be still able to reach out for people and support if needed.

Leute, der Hass auf #migrantisch Gelesene steigt. Ja, wir sind müde, #Petitionen zu zeichnen, da sie oft nicht das Erhoffte bewirken. Aber wir dürfen nicht vergessen, dass sie oft DOCH etwas bewirken und zum Diskurs beitragen. #Demokratie lebt von unserem Engagement, unserer Motivation & Ausdauer, davon, uns NICHT durch Rückschläge hemmen zu lassen — und unserer #Solidarität. Manche von uns sind durch autoritäre Kräfte weit mehr gefährdet als andere. Bitte & :

#Mastodon é melhor que #Bluesky
"Esse lance de ser centralizado ou #descentralizado parece detalhe, mas na real é muito importante. Porque é o que distingue uma plataforma social daquelas que todo mundo conhece, usa, mas poucos gostam… no caso dessas, é uma empresa que toma todas as decisões e prende as pessoas lá dentro.
Em uma rede descentralizada de verdade, como o Mastodon, você pega as suas listas de amigos e #migra para outros servidores, até para outra aplicação."
