    Let's start reporting tragedies in the Mediterranean like we do any others - with names and not numbers. There were 47 humans lost in a single shipwreck this month. This isn't the story of their shipwreck. It's the story of them.

    Those shouting about a “refugee emergency” in Europe or America should visit African communities giving refuge to millions with small resources. Energies would be better spent helping people address problems here while sharing some of the refugee burden born by poor countries.

    Vital words from Achille Mbembe: “Everything leads back to borders—these dead spaces of nonconnection that deny the very idea of a shared humanity, of a planet—the only one we have, and to which we are linked by the ephemerality of our common condition.”

    Colonial states separate children from parents because they know it works. It destroys and traumatizes for generations. It's an attack on the future as well as the present. It's not partisan issue, it's a colonial one.

    Then in that case, please tell Melania, Marie Antoinette called. She wants her jacket back. Also, how in the hell are you planning to reunite the 2,300 children you cruelly separated from their family? Why isn’t the meadia allowed into the facilities? Where are the girls?

    “I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U?” written on the back of Melania’s jacket, refers to the Fake News Media. Melania has learned how dishonest they are, and she truly no longer cares!

    Many are no longer proud of this country...but for a whole different reason. 👇🏻Exhibit A.

    We have to maintain strong borders or we will no longer have a country that we can be proud of – and if we show any weakness, millions of people will journey into our country.

    "The European Union said Thursday it was discussing plans with UN agencies to set up migrant processing centres outside the bloc." Appalling if true. The UN must not get involved.

    The realities of 'assisted voluntary return'. Very different from what you will hear from the EU-funded publicity campaign, which tells only positive stories.
