Money Trees is the perfect place for shade.

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

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.
