The problem with numbers is that they can be quite dehumanizing. Behind the statistics they are people, these people that end up in cages, the ones that end up dead after mere interactions with the police, the ones that end up dead after mere interaction with their fellow citizens. The ones with the ghetto names, the ones with the foreign names, the ones with names you can’t pronounce those people are the bedrock of the big tent. They have witnessed the impact of the subprime loans, the stop and frisks, the fiscally conservative and the tough on law and order approaches. I don’t think they will keep going for it and if they don’t who will the democrats be? Will the party of the big tent eventually service all its stakeholders or will it continue to maximize return for the shareholders? Time shall tell.
Ban on motorbikes are becoming more common throughout African cities. In Addis Ababa, Lagos and Douala these policies have gone into effect and have begun to change the daily life of the denizens of these major urban metropolitan centers. At the core of the debate there is an argument about urbanization policies in modern African cities. The failure by local authorities to implement viable urbanization plans have left people to fend for themselves. The bikes as a method of transportation are just a manifestation of these failures.

Statement of Gillets Noir about the occupation of Pantheon: Rise up dead people! Today, we, migrants without papers, living in migrant centers, inhabitants of the street, We occupy the Pantheon We are those without papers, without voices, without faces for the French republic. We come here, in the tomb of your great men, to denounce your desecrations. Your violations of the memories of our comrades, of our fathers and our mothers, of our brothers and our sisters in the Mediterranean, in the streets of Paris, in the migrant centers and in prisons. France perpetuates slavery in a different manner. Our fathers died for France. And those who have died are dead. The responsibility falls to the living, to the ones who are in power today. The dead shall rest in peace. The day before yesterday we attacked the borders by occupying the Air France terminal of the Charles de Gaulle airport. It is there, where the French police is throwing us into airplanes towards Algiers, Dakar, Khartoum, Bamako or Kabul. It is there were Djiby, our comrade, was deported. Yesterday, we invaded the offices of Elior at La Défense neighborhood and the General Labor Directorate. We went to tell the bosses who humiliate us and break our bones that fear is on their side now! Today, we continue to attack the State and its racism, in France and in Europe. We come to defend our dignity! We are not begging anyone anymore and we will get our rights with the force of struggle! We came to tell you that the motto of France for foreigners is humiliation, exploitation, deportation. The France which conducts war over there, pillages our resources and decides for, and together with, our corrupted States. The France which makes war here. We occupy, Because there are 200,000 empty housings in Paris, and our people are sleeping under the bridges of the ring road. Because the municipality fenced the streets of the Avenue Wilson camp at Saint Denis. Because in the migrant center of Thiais, like in all the others too, the polices raided the inhabitants all the way till their rooms. To demand the liberation of our Gilets Noirs comrades, imprisoned in detention centers, and freedom for everyone else too For the abolition of these prisons for foreigners! We do not only struggle for papers but also against the system that creates people without papers. We will not pay anymore the cops or a receiving agent to obtain an appointment. We do not want to negotiate anymore with the minister of interior and his prefectures. We want to speak to the prime minister Edouard Philippe, now! We will stay here until the last one of us gets their papers and for those who arrive in France later to have the liberty to stay! To all those who revolt here, in Soudan or in Algeria, To our comrades, to all those who fight against the exploiters, To all those who believe that no human being is illegal, To all those who have had enough with blocking the far-right all these 5 years, And who are persuaded that the struggle against the racism which is coming, is the combat against the racism which exists. Papers and housing for everyone! Freedom of movement and installation! Long live the struggle of Gilets Noirs! Nor the streets nor prison, papers now! Gilets Noirs en Lutte Nasim Lomani
Centrism is dead, Long live centrism. Today I discuss the notion of representation in an increasingly polarized political landscape.
In Wolof firnde is a translation. In today’s episode Huey and I discuss the politics around the translations of blackness. Who gets to speak about and for black people is a highly selective process, how do we create spaces that allow for discussions that broach beyond the surface and the generic to allow black people to connect with each other on a human level?

La création de la monnaie unique de la Cedeao, sur les rails depuis le début des années 1980, sera-t-elle enfin une réalité en 2020 ? Les chefs d’État réunis samedi à Abuja ont entériné ce calendrier, et se sont entendus sur son nom : « Eco ».
As these migrants’ lives continue to be not much more than pawns in a political game, which has no concern for their humanity, the question remains “what will become of them?”
When we speak of voting rights in America we are speaking fundamentally about a racial issue.
Est-ce que le burkini est un vêtement de sport, une provocation, un acte politique ou un signe de l’islamisation de la société française. Au cœur de ce débat autours du voile et de ses synonymes qui agitent la société française tous les mois il y a le fait que la France vie un profond malaise autours de sa population musulmane. Mais derrières ceci il se cache une autre vérité qui ne veut pas se dire l’élixir identitaire qui est a la source de la politique intérieure française n’existe pas sans effet profond sur la société française et petit a petite il tue le vivre ensemble.

The Sudan revolution We have entered a new phase of clampdown on protestors and media outlets in Sudan. This comes after the military ousted president Omar al Bashir on April 11. We entered a transitional period which many had hoped would stay peaceful with military junta showing openness to negotiate with civil society partners and the public. The month of Ramadan provided for hopeful scenes where a smooth transition seemed possible. On the morning of June 3rd however things took a violent turn. Exact figures for the number of deaths are still contested but credible ground reports place the death toll of a 118. Efforts to shut social media and news stories are an integral part of a tactic to control the narrative and minimize the support for the revolution both nationally and abroad. These tactics are reminiscent of tactics used by the Bashir government and belonged to what many assumed was Sudan’s past. The Transitional Military Counsel is now faced with a position similar to that of the Armies of Algeria, Egypt and many other African nations. How does one maintain power in the face of rising demands of peace and stability and accountability from populations.
Aren't y'all bored of this nonsense by now?

Nous parlons de l'attaque sur un village peul.
Today we discuss the state of Jewish of Jewish identity with April Baskin. April Baskin has been committed to opening doors and embracing diversity in the Jewish community throughout her career. Raised in Sacramento, CA, by a white Jewish mother and a black Jewish father, Baskin was immersed in Reform Jewish life from an early age, and relished opportunities in her synagogue, camp, and youth group to engage in Jewish learning and participate in social action. “I was that rare kid who not only liked, but loved Hebrew school,” she has said. As an adult, she drew on her experience as a young, multiracial Jew who had felt both inside and outside mainstream Jewish life, to consult with Jewish organizations across the country on diversity initiatives. Baskin attended Tufts University, graduating with a degree in Sociology in 2007. She served as president of the Jewish Multiracial Network from 2010 to 2013, and worked at InterfaithFamily as their Director of Resources and Training. In 2015, she joined the Union of Reform Judaism (URJ) as Vice President of Audacious Hospitality, a title that reflects the URJ’s commitment to welcoming groups of Jews who have traditionally been marginalized from institutional Jewish settings. This inaugural position, which she still held until the end of 2018, was a natural outgrowth of Baskin’s dedication to social justice, activism, and outreach and enabled her to shape programs and policies that she says “incorporate the diversity that is the reality and future of Jewish life.” April is a member of Bend the Arc’s Selah Leadership Network and has served on the leadership team of the Jewish Social Justice Roundtable since 2017.

This week @mygirl_sash talk about the politics surrounding the government shutdowns. Are the good government jobs going to save us?
In today’s episode @itsjameer and I discuss elephants in the room of masculinity. Too often the lies men tell themselves and others about themselves become established facts, meaning too often our blind spots are heralded where they should be examined. It is in the benefit of men first and foremost to face ourselves and ask deeper questions about the why’s, who’s, where’s and how’s of our conditions. This is an attempt to add to that conversation by discussing the ramifications that sexual violence faced by young boys and men can have on this question. 00:00:00 Intro & Bday shout-outs. 00:02:00 @itsjameer Top 5 Nas, Jay Z, Biggie , Ghostface Killah, Rakim. 00:04:06 @manlikeblacks Top 5 Freddy Gibs, SkyZoo, Styles P, Maitre Gims, Jay Z. 00:08:12 Hip Hop is no longer a culture, it is a business and it sells a false, glorified image of what the game is. 00:14:44 Male victims of sexual violence and how hip hop is a manifestation of the Black trauma. 00:16:07 Young people going through sexual trauma and how it shapes their minds. 00:25:49 The way young men act is a front for unacknowledged generational trauma. 00:31:32 Be yourself. It is okay to be human. Be an individual. Celebrate life, you weren't meant to make it this far. 00:34:52 Stop playing the victim and let those who truly suffered speak. 00:36:17 Be grateful for being here. Trauma has no race, no color, no gender, or nationality but it has many forms. Stop trying to survive and learn to live. You too deserve your blessings. You are worth more than you think. 00:39:42 Outro
