On Friday a 4-year investigation concluded that police, in whose custody Black man Adama Traoré died after they pinned him to the ground, were in the clear. #JusticePourAdama
One could be tempted to think France are following the example of the US.

They’re not. French people riot every time police attack in poor Black and Brown suburbs.

But in the context of #GeorgeFloydProtests, French authorities may have a harder time ignoring it this time.
Last night’s Paris protest was not authorised. They went ahead regardless.

33 skippers left on November 8 for the toughest of regattas. They crossed the Equator and they (minus 1, who had to abandon) were just making their way past the Cape of Good Hope. It's stunning, intense, emotional, and filled with learning opportunities for adults and kids.

We first noticed this in March. Here's a good example. The author of this piece is a worldwide authority on lifestyle as medicine (i.e., quality of diet, exercise, etc.). Here he is, weighing in on... health measures to fight Covid-19. 3/ nytimes.com/2020/03/20/opi…
