Dedicated to all emigrants (and diaspora) who were displaced from their homeland and are now scattered all over the world

Emigration is a difficult act (and the most difficult) for any living being. Going into the unknown from home and one’s own environment, far from family and everything familiar. Emigration has always existed. People (temporarily or permanently) forcibly or knowingly, i.e. voluntarily (expatriation is a synonym for emigrating or renunciation of citizenship, expulsion from the homeland) left and left their homes (often destroyed to the ground) and the homeland due to war, economic and numerous other reasons.

Open Thread | I Know It’s Too Much Too Hope….That the MSM Stops Trying to Pretend That The GOP Is An Actual Political Party | 3CHICSPOLITICO

George Bush and his Administration lied us into not one, but, TWO WARS.

And, even he, couldn’t get Comprehensive Immigration Reform passed.

Why, you may ask?

Because, Republicans don’t actually WANT immigration reform. If we had actual Immigration Reform, then how could they use the immigration issue to fear monger and peddle in White Supremacy?

The top issue for Iowa Caucus voters was Immigration.

Immigration.

For a state, in the Midwest, over 1500 miles from our Southern Border (don’t kid yourself, they don’t give a rat’s ass about the border with Canada)
For a state that is 90+% WHITE
For a state whose population is 96% U. S. Citizen

THIS state had IMMIGRATION as it’s top concern?

Lips so pursed. Eyes rolling.

Black History Month: Why? BECAUSE … | Filosofa’s Word

Here’s the thing, though … the first thing, that is.  The Mayflower arrived in what is now the United States of America on 11 November 1620.  Every school child can tell you about the Mayflower and the people on it … people fleeing religious persecution and more.  But I’m willing to bet that not a single school child can tell you about a ship that arrived more than a year before that in August 1619, the English ship White Lion, carrying 20-30 enslaved Africans who were traded in exchange for supplies in Virginia.  Or the ship the Treasurer that arrived a few days later carrying still more African slaves to be bartered.  Both ships were owned by a powerful English nobleman, the Earl of Warwick Robert Rich.

And this, my friends, is why I say that YES, we do need Black History Month.  Sadly, if our schools taught history fairly, we might not need such.  As our friend rawgod pointed out several years ago on one of my Black History Month posts, we also need an Indigenous Peoples Month, an Asian History Month, a Hispanic History Month, etc., for our education system either completely shuts out the true history of all but straight white Christians, else it whitewashes that history.

For some of us, true history begins to come to light when we start college, but what about those who never go to college?  Sure, there are books, but how many non-college-educated people are likely to pick up a book about Black history just for the fun of it or study the New York Times’ 1619 Project?

It has always been the case that the schools are putting blinders on our children, failing miserably in their duty to teach them the truth about the beginnings of this country.  Things like slavery are glossed over, and other things such as the Tulsa Race Riots aren’t even given honourable mention.  But today, my friends, it’s even worse.  Today we have states’ governors and parental advocacy groups attempting to get laws passed to actually ban the teaching of true Black history!!!

Sri Lanka: What’s killing so many of the country’s iconic elephants? – Stigmatis

…A decade ago, Sri Lanka lost around 250 elephants a year. But the numbers have increased sharply in recent years with the deaths now exceeding 400 for the second year in a row. If elephant deaths continue to rise at the current rate, up to 70% of Sri Lanka’s elephants would be gone, Prithviraj Fernando said.

Apart from encounters with humans, shrinking habits and drought are also a risk for the animals

What is also worrying experts is the large number of male elephants that are dying, putting the survival of the species at risk. The tuskers often wander into rural communities alone, which makes them more vulnerable…

Endangered vulture species nesting in Ghana is rare good news about raptors – Stigmatis

  • Researchers surveying Ghana’s Mole National Park have found three critically endangered vulture species nesting there.
  • In Ghana and elsewhere across Africa, vultures are threatened by poisoning, habitat loss, hazards including power transmission lines, and hunting for “belief-based” trade.
  • This is the first observation of nesting hooded vultures in the park and the first white-backed and white-headed vulture nests seen anywhere in the country.
  • The researchers say as well as greater efforts to prevent poaching, education and enforcement aimed at curbing illegal trade in vulture parts is needed to protect these scavengers.
