Wow, les paroles de Srinivas :
▻https://genius.com/Marc-ribot-srinivas-lyricsDark was the night
Cold was the ground
When they shot Srinivas Kuchibhotla downIt was in Austin’s Bar and Grill
But it could’ve been most anyone
A madman pulled the trigger
Donald Trump loaded the gun
My country ’tis of theeSrinivas was an engineer
Sunayana was his wife
Like so many here before them
They come here to build the life
They were plannin’ their first child
But it was not to be
But a stranger shot Srinivas down
Screamin’ “Get out of my country!”
My country ’tis of theeI was born in America
And it’s right here I intend to stay
But my country’s hurtin’ now
There’s a few things I need to say
If you fly a flag of hate
Then you ain’t no kin to me
And to Srinivas Kuchibhotla’s surviving familyMy country ’tis of thee
My country ’tis of thee
My country ’tis of thee
My country ’tis of theeMy country ’tis of thee
My country ’tis of thee
My country ’tis of thee
My country ’tis of theeMy country ’tis of thee (Kuchibhotla!)
My country ’tis of thee (Eric Garner!)
My country ’tis of thee (Heather Heyer!)
My country ’tis of thee (Susie Jackson!)My country ’tis of thee (Tywanza Sanders! Ethel Lee Lance!)
My country ’tis of thee (Freddy Gray! Tamir Rice!)

A propos de la chanson Rata de dos patas, il précise :
Due to the fears that Trump regime retaliation would threaten her visa status, the vocalist on this recording of Rata De Dos Patas has requested that we delete all reference to her identity. We believe her fears are entirely justified, and have complied with her wishes.
We thank her for her wonderful performance, and for her great courage in making the recording at all. And we look forward to a day when political and artistic expression is no longer under the shadow of such vindicative and racist repression. Venceremos!

BELLA CIAO
Italian traditional; Arranged by Marc Ribot
& Tom Waits; Translated by Marc RibotOne fine morning / woke up early
Bella ciao, bella ciao, goodbye beautiful
One fine morning / woke up early
To find a fascist at my door
Oh partigiano, please take me with you
Bella ciao, bella ciao, goodbye beautiful
Oh partigiano, please take me with you
I’m not afraid now anymore.
And if I die a partigiano
Bella ciao, bella ciao, goodbye beautiful
Please bury me up on that mountain
In the shadow of a flower
So all the people, people passing
Bella ciao, bella ciao, goodbye beautiful
All the people, the people passing
Can say: what a beautiful flower
This is the flower / of the partisan
Bella ciao, bella ciao, goodbye beautiful
This is the flower / of the partisan
Who died for freedom -
THE MILITANT ECOLOGIST
[based on FISCHIA IL VENTO]
Written by Marc Ribot (Knockwurst Music);
Inspired by the Italian traditionalThe wind it howls, the storm around is raging
Our shoes are broken, still we must go on
The war we fight, is no longer for liberty
Just the possibility / of a future.
Underground, the militant ecologist
Like a shadow emerges from the night
The stars above, guide her on her mission
Strong her heart swift her arm to strike
If, by chance, cruel death will find you
Know your comrades will revenge
We’ll track down the ones who hurt you
Their fate’s already sealed.
The wind is still, the storm is finally over
The militant ecologist blends back into the shadows
Somewhere above, the earth’s green flag is flying
We don’t have to live in terror
Somewhere above, the earth’s green flag is flying
The only flag that matters now
Somewhere above, the earth’s green flag is flying
And if its not...
there’s nothing more to say. -
Son premier texte, où il se pose des questions sur la possibilité de résister en tant que musicien :
My grandparents lost brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts and uncles in the Holocaust, and I’ve toured and have friends in Russia and Turkey: we recognize Trump, and it’s no mystery where we will wind up if we don’t push back.
Its not that things before Trump were any picnic: the many victims of racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, and war under earlier presidents – some of them Democrats—are not forgotten; and even among the politicians for whom I voted, few were willing to address the structural causes of these problems.
But even the most pissed off of my activist friends knew right away that Trumpism was seriously wrong, and that resistance—not just protest, which by definition acknowledges the legitimacy of the power to which it appeals—had to be planned.
I’m a musician, so I began my practice of resistance with music.
Normally, I practice by studying the past (“Ancient to the Future!” as the Art Ensemble of Chicago put it—and as Hannah Arendt might have if she’d been a jazz musician), and then blowing on or reconstructing or simply misreading those changes until they become useful in the present.
So, I went back to archives of political music known for years and listened again—trying to find what was useful now. I found songs from the World War II anti-Fascist Italian partisans (“Bella Ciao,” “Fischia il Vento”), the U.S. civil rights movement (“We’ll Never Turn Back,” “We Are Soldiers in the Army”), a political song originally recorded by Mexican artist Paquita la del Barrio, had disguised as a romantic ballad (“Rata de Dos Patas”).
I also wrote songs: things I heard at demonstrations, and newspaper and television stories that I couldn’t process any other way wound up as lyrics. I changed these found texts as little as possible: much of “Srinivas” is a metered version of news articles on Srinivas Kuchibhotla a Sikh immigrant murdered in February 2017 by a racist who mistook him for a Muslim. And “John Brown” really did “kill... five slaveholders at the Pottawatomie creek”).
By March 2017, I had the material for Goodbye Beautiful/Songs of Resistance.
I make no claims of historical “authenticity” about the arrangements of archival songs on the record— although I hope they work on more than one level, the arrangements and composition songs on this CD were written and performed, without apology, as agitprop. I borrowed from, referenced, and quoted public domain song as much as I could, wanting to harness the power of our rich traditions to the needs of the current struggle wherever possible. For the same reason, I altered texts and arrangements freely, as political song makers have always done.
The underlying politics of this recording is that of the Popular Front: the idea that those of us with democratic values need to put aside our differences long enough to defeat those who threaten them.
Although this approach has its frustrations, it worked last time around (1942-45).
Coordinating a multi-artist recording like this wasn’t easy: although the artists involved were without exception enthusiastic and helpful.
But the madness of the past year kept us moving when things got bogged down: we recorded Justin Vivian Bond’s “We’ll Never Turn Back” literally while Donald Trump was delivering a friendly speech to anti-gay hate groups in Washington DC. Tom Waits’ “Bella Ciao” was recorded near Santa Rosa, in the haze of smoke from 1,500 homes destroyed by wildfires attributed partly to global warming.
Not a day goes by that I don’t think about the fact that we’re living through what may be the last years of possibility to lessen the degree of catastrophic climate change which will be experienced by our kids.
And what I think is that thinking isn’t enough.
The same can be said of singing.
Profits from this CD will be donated to The Indivisible Project, a 501c4 organization creating a political response to Trump. They now have chapters in EVERY congressional district, and work to build the local and national networks we need. I have a lot of friends who think that ANY kind of politics isn’t cool. I appreciate the sentiment, but: we need to get over it, roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty if we’re going to survive this thing.
I want to thank all the Artists and musicians who sang or played on this cd, not only for their time and great performances, but for their critiques and insights, musical and political, that shaped this recording at every stage.
Although my intention in organizing this recording has been to express solidarity with everyone victimized by the current regime, finding a way to express that solidarity without repeating old patterns of oppression is not easy. I hope the dialogue and spirit of solidarity begun among the performers on this recording will continue with its listeners and spread even further...
M Ribot
–-----------------------------------
Son deuxième texte, où il se pose des questions sur les défauts de la musique engagée :Post Script:
The question of ‘the good fight’—how to fight an enemy without becoming it—hangs over “political” art (as the question of truthfulness hang over art claiming to have transcended the political). Indeed, Left and Fascist song do share musical commonalities. (Armies fighting for causes good and bad all need songs to march to).
This recording won’t resolve that question.
But I’ve noted a difference between the marching songs of fascism and those of the partisan and civil rights movements: a willingness to acknowledge sadness:
“We are soldiers in the army...
We have to fight, we also have to cry.”“And if I die a partisan,
Goodbye beautiful, goodbye beautiful, goodbye beautiful,
Please bury me on that mountain, in the shadow of a flower.”“I am a pilgrim of sorrow, walking through this world alone.
I have no hope for tomorrow, but I’m starting to make it my home.”“...a thousand mill lofts grey
are touched by all the beauty
a sudden sun exposes
Yes it is bread we fight for, but we also fight for roses.”These songs’ acknowledgement of human frailty, of the fact that “we have to cry” even as “we have to fight”, is for me a sign of enormous strength. Their vision of a beauty beyond victory is for me a sign of hope, a reminder that we at least have something worth fighting for.

The Sexist, Racist Implications of the ’Walk Up, Not Out’ Movement | Alternet
▻https://www.alternet.org/news-amp-politics/sexist-racist-implications-walk-not-out-movement?akid=16850.2663896.0nM9pIThe student walkout itself has drawn protest from those who disagree that gun control is the solution. The "Walk Up, Not Out” movement is led by parents who believe more “kindness” among students, rather than gun control legislation, will end gun violence. Those at the helm of Walk Up have shared ideas such as increased school security measures that would effectively transform schools into prisons and could have negative consequences for students of color. They have also expressed support for mental health resources while ignoring how scapegoating the mentally ill fails to address the real problem. The real problem is guns and insufficient regulation of gun owners who have access to weapons that kill hundreds in minutes (the mentally ill are far more likely to be victims than perpetrators of gun violence).
Walk Up’s ultimate premise is that the responsibility for ending school violence should be placed on the shoulders of young people who are in school to learn, while demanding nothing of the policymakers who are actually in positions to make change. The movement seems to place the blame for shootings on those who are purportedly complicit in the bullying and marginalizing of students who go on to become mass shooters.
Wald also addressed this in her post: “This argument only applies to crimes overwhelmingly committed by white boys. Their crimes are tragic betrayals of an underlying innocence that is never attributed to black boys selling drugs on the corner.”
In 2015, a 14-year-old Muslim boy was handcuffed and taken into custody for building a clock. In 2014, 12-year-old Tamir Rice was shot and killed by police for brandishing a toy gun in a playground. In 2013, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot by a vigilante for walking on the streets at night wearing a hoodie. We have no problem with accepting black and brown people as dangerous, but we pull out all the stops to humanize mass shooters hailing from white communities. Women are disproportionately affected by gun violence, yet they are pressured to proactively stop the hypermasculine violence that targets them. Walk Up’s message of telling young people to just “be nicer” to one another ignores the implications this language has for young women and the pressure it places on them.
A number of statistics exemplify the connection between gun violence directed at women or initiated by people with records of abusing women. Every year, hundreds of women are killed for rejecting men; more than 1,600 women are killed by men every year. Annually, an average of 760 Americans are killed with guns by spouses, ex-spouses or intimate partners, and the majority of these cases involve guns and collateral damage that claims the lives of other victims. Domestic violence victims are five times more likely to be killed when their abusers have access to a gun.

[Vidéo] BET Awards 2016 : le discours puissant de Jesse Williams sur le racisme | Etat d’Exception
▻http://www.etatdexception.net/video-bet-awards-2016-le-discours-puissant-de-jesse-williams-sur-le-Jesse Williams a reçu ce dimanche un prix lors de la soirée des BET Awards 2016 pour son engagement humanitaire. Rendu célèbre par son rôle dans la série Grey’s Anatomy, l’acteur et activiste a pris position pour le mouvement Black Livres Matter, mouvement lancé par trois Afro-Américaines après le meurtre en 2014 de Michael Brown à Ferguson (Missouri).
Puissant et émouvant, le discours tenu par Williams aurait sans nul doute été critiqué et qualifié de « communautariste » en France. Dans un pays où il est si difficile de parler de racisme et où évoquer la question de l’hégémonie blanche reste tabou, on imagine mal de tels mots prononcés lors d’une soirée grand public de remises de prix.
Parce que, justement, ces mots sont de ceux qui inspirent, nous avons choisi de les retranscrire et de les traduire en français pour les rendre accessibles à un public francophone. « Ce n’est pas parce que nous sommes magiques que ça veut dire que nous ne sommes pas réels ». Sublime !

Le texte intégral
Peace, Peace. Thank you Debra. Thank you, BET. Thank you, Nate Parker. Harry and Debbie Allen, for participating in that. Before we get into it, I just want to say, I brought my parents out tonight — I just want to thank them for being here, for teaching me to focus on comprehension over career. They made sure I learned what the schools were afraid to teach us. And also, thank you to my amazing wife for changing my life.
Now, this award, this is not for me. This is for the real organizers all over the country. The activists, the civil rights attorneys, the struggling parents, the families, the teachers, the students that are realizing that a system built to divide and impoverish and destroy us cannot stand if we do. All right? It’s kind of basic mathematics. The more we learn about who we are and how we got here, the more we will mobilize.
Now, this is also in particular for the black women in particular who have spent their lifetimes dedicated to nurturing everyone before themselves. We can and will do better for you.
Now, what we’ve been doing is looking at the data and we know that police somehow manage to deescalate, disarm, and not kill white people every day. So what’s gonna happen is we’re going to have equal rights and justice in our own country, or we will restructure their function in ours.
Now, I got more, y’all. Yesterday would have been young Tamir Rice’s 14th birthday. So I don’t want to hear anymore about how far we’ve come when paid public servants can pull a drive-by on a 12-year-old playing alone in a park in broad daylight, killing him on television and then going home to make a sandwich.
Tell Rekia Boyd how it’s so much better to live in 2012, than it is to live in 1612 or 1712. Tell that to Eric Garner. Tell that to Sandra Bland. Tell that to Darrien Hunt.
Now, the thing is, though, all of us in here getting money, that alone isn’t going to stop this. All right? Now dedicating our lives, dedicating our lives to getting money just to give it right back for someone’s brand on our body when we spent centuries praying with brands on our bodies and now we pray to get paid with brands on our bodies. There has been no war that we have not fought and died on the front lines of. There has been no job we haven’t done. There’s no tax they haven’t levied against us. And we’ve paid all of them. But freedom is somehow always conditional here. You’re free, they keep telling us, but she would’ve been alive if she hadn’t acted so free.
Now, freedom is always coming in the hereafter. But, you know what though, the hereafter is a hustle. We want it now. And let’s get a couple of things straight, this is a little side note. The burden of the brutalized is not to comfort the bystander. That’s not our job. All right, stop with all that. If you have a critique for the resistance, for our resistance, then you better have an established record of critique of our oppression. If you have no interest, if you have no interest in equal rights for black people, then do not make suggestions to those who do. Sit down.
We’ve been floating this country on credit for centuries, yo. And we’re done watching and waiting while this invention called whiteness uses and abuses us, burying black people out of sight and out of mind, while extracting our culture, our dollars, our entertainment like oil — black gold. Ghettoizing and demeaning our creations then stealing them. Gentrifying our genius and then trying us on like costumes before discarding our bodies like rinds of strange fruit. The thing is, though, the thing is, that just because we’re magic doesn’t mean we’re not real. Thank you.

L’administration de Clevelend veut faire payer les parents de Tamir Rice pour les dépenses causées par sa mort.The City of Cleveland has filed a creditor’s claim against Tamir Rice’s estate. Tamir Rice is the unarmed 12-year-old kid shot dead on sight by a Cleveland cop; they want his parents to pay the EMS bill for the boy’s “dying expenses.”
The city filed a creditor’s notice against the estate of Tamir Rice looking for a past due amount of $500. What’s that $500 for? It’s “owing for emergency medical services rendered as the decedent’s last dying expense under Ohio Revised Code.”
Bof, pas encore complètement :
$50 of the bill is for gas, but they didn’t charge him for the bullet.

Police fatally shoot nearly 1,000 people in 2016 | The Washington Post
▻http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/investigative/2015/12/26/a-year-of-reckoning-police-fatally-shoot-nearly-1000Nearly a thousand times this year, an American police officer has shot and killed a civilian.
When the people hired to protect their communities end up killing someone, they can be called heroes or criminals — a judgment that has never come more quickly or searingly than in this era of viral video, body cameras and dash cams. A single bullet fired at the adrenaline-charged apex of a chase can end a life, wreck a career, spark a riot, spike racial tensions and alter the politics of the nation.
About this story: The killing of an unarmed black man by a white police officer last year in Ferguson, Mo., ignited a national debate and exposed the federal government’s failure to track the use of deadly force by police. The Washington Post launched a comprehensive project to log every on-duty fatal shooting by police in 2015. The resulting database chronicled shootings nationwide in real time, using news reports and other public sources. The Post compiled data about each death, including the race of those killed, whether they were armed and descriptions of the events. The project revealed that police nationwide were killing more than twice as many people as the FBI had previously reported. In October, the agency’s director, James B. Comey, said it was “unacceptable” that journalists had become the leading source of information on the subject. In December, an FBI official told The Post the agency is overhauling how it tracks violent police encounters, calling it “the highest priority.” The Post will continue tracking fatal shootings by police in 2016.
In a year-long study, The Washington Post found that the kind of incidents that have ignited protests in many U.S. communities — most often, white police officers killing unarmed black men — represent less than 4 percent of fatal police shootings. Meanwhile, The Post found that the great majority of people who died at the hands of the police fit at least one of three categories: they were wielding weapons, they were suicidal or mentally troubled, or they ran when officers told them to halt.
The Post sought to compile a record of every fatal police shooting in the nation in 2015, something no government agency had done. The project began after a police officer shot and killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., in August 2014, provoking several nights of fiery riots, weeks of protests and a national reckoning with the nexus of race, crime and police use of force.

▶ Blood Orange : « Do You See My Skin Through the Flames ? » | Tracks | Pitchfork
▻http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/17559-blood-orange-do-you-see-my-skin-through-the-flamesWithin the insular internet music world, and the realm of pop in which #Blood_Orange’s music often moves, #Dev_Hynes stands out as a beacon of dissent, anger, courage, and empathy. His social media presence flickers with notes on injustice in pop culture and society, writ large. Last year, he was assaulted by security at Lollapalooza after a set in which he spoke out against police brutality whilst wearing a T-shirt bearing the names of black men and boys murdered by law enforcement: #Trayvon_Martin, #Eric_Garner, #Jordan_Davis, and #Oscar_Grant.
On the somber, pulsating vocal collage “Do You See My Skin Through the Flames?” he connects these percolating thoughts and attendant, mushrooming feelings of isolation and exhaustion through music for the first time. “I have nothing left to give when you don’t notice what’s wrong,” he sings, “Charleston left me broken down but it’s just another day to you.” It follows a voicemail snippet from Talwst, a Toronto artist and curator of Trinidadian descent, telling Hynes, “I understand what you’re going through being surrounded by friends of privilege who don’t get it.” So yes, on this song Hynes is thinking about institutions that perpetuate incidents like Charleston and McKinney and kill black people like Tamir Rice and Rekia Boyd and dehumanize artists like Kanye West, but, more powerfully, he pulls back and names his immediate community—fans included—as complicit as well. The message is simple: A gun-toting racist is deadly, but so is your silence.

Ce que « Ferguson » révèle du racisme systémique aux États-Unis
▻http://geoconfluences.ens-lyon.fr/informations-scientifiques/dossiers-regionaux/etats-unis-espaces-de-la-puissance-espaces-en-crises/articles-scientifiques/FergusonL’émotion suscitée par la mort du jeune Michael Brown impose ici d’en conter les faits le plus sobrement possible. Mais même ainsi, ce qu’ils nous disent de la violence du racisme systémique aux États-Unis est brutal.
Le 9 août 2014 à Ferguson, petite ville du Missouri, s’est produite une rencontre entre Michael Brown – 18 ans, noir – et un policier blanc. Dans des circonstances confuses, ce dernier a tué l’adolescent, atteint par 6 balles dont 2 dans la tête. La victime n’était pas armée et ses mains auraient été en l’air selon certains témoignages. Son corps est resté exposé aux regards pendant plus de quatre heures sous un soleil de plomb, ajoutant ainsi à l’émoi et la colère de la population locale. Des manifestations et des protestations ont rapidement surgi. Des faits de pillages et de dégradations ont été rapportés, les premiers jours. Les manifestations ont, dès lors, été qualifiées d’émeutes par la plupart des commentateurs. La police les a réprimées violemment, exhibant un arsenal militaire. Devant l’enlisement du conflit et l’escalade de la colère, la police d’État a pris le relais. Sous les menaces du groupe Anonymous [1], le nom du policier a finalement été rendu public. Darren Wilson, 28 ans, a été suspendu. Le 24 novembre, un grand jury a décidé de ne pas inculper l’officier – qui a fini par démissionner quelques jours plus tard – ce qui a déclenché de nouvelles manifestations : une douzaine de commerces sont brûlés, une centaine de personnes sont arrêtées. Le 4 mars 2015, un rapport du ministère de la Justice (Department of Justice, 2015) fait état de pratiques racistes systématiques [2] dans le département de police de Ferguson. La mobilisation autour du mot d’ordre « Black lives matter » (les vies noires comptent) continue à mesure que d’autres Noir(e)s sont tué(e)s par des policiers (Tamir Rice, 12 ans, Tanisha Anderson, 37 ans, Aura Rain Rosser, 40 ans, Darrien Hunt, 22 ans, Dante Parker, 36 ans, Felix David, 24 ans, Akai Gurley, 28 ans, Ezell Ford, 25 ans, Freddie Gray, 25 ans, Walter Scott, 50 ans…).

Vox’s Anand Katakam created an interactive map with data from Fatal Encounters, a nonprofit trying to build a national database of police killings. It shows some of the deaths by law enforcement since 2000:

Il semblerait que Michael Brown, à Ferguson, ait crié « Allah ou Akbar » avant d’être abbatu par le flic.
Quant à New-York, lorsqu’Eric Garner suppliait « I Can’t Breathe », le flic qui entendait mal croyait entendre « Allah ou Akbar »
C’est aussi ce qu’ont dit Akai Gurley, Ezell Ford, Daniel Levitt et même Tamir Rice (12 ans), d’après la police locale.
Quant à Rémi Fraisse, un nouveau rapport secret de l’IGPN soutient qu’il s’est également exclamé « Allah ou Akbar » avant d’attaquer le cordon de CRS devant le barrage de Sivens...

LA VOIX DES RROMS : De Ferguson à Paris : Christiane Taubira, une indignation à géographie variable
▻http://rroms.blogspot.fr/2014/11/de-ferguson-paris-christiane-taubira.htmlLa ministre de la Justice, Christiane Taubira, a fait une sortie remarquée sur les réseaux sociaux, mardi 25 novembre, pour fustiger la décision, aux Etats-Unis, du grand jury populaire de ne pas poursuivre le policier blanc qui a tué Michael Brown, 18 ans, à Ferguson. Cette décision, qui a provoqué de nouvelles émeutes dans cette ville du Missouri, intervient après la mort d’un adolescent noir Tamir Rice, 12 ans, qui jouait avec un pistolet factice, dans un square de Cleveland. Cette indignation de la Garde des Sceaux, des proches de victimes de violences policières la partagent, dont Chloé Fraisse, la sœur de Rémi Fraisse, mais elle leur fait mal et s’en expliquent dans cette lettre ouverte publiée sur Saphirnews.

By Samuel Davidson
26 November 2014The Cleveland police department is defending the murder of a 12-year-old boy who was shot and killed over the weekend while playing with a toy gun in a city park.
In a press conference held Tuesday morning, Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams defended the actions of an as yet unidentified Cleveland police officer who shot 12-year-old Tamir Rice Saturday afternoon as he played with his sister and a friend in a park playground. Tamir died Sunday morning from the shooting.
