Au #Sénégal, le long travail de réinvention de la kora par les #moines de #KeurMoussa
« En Afrique, la musique dans la foi » (1/3). La fabrication de cet instrument né il y a huit siècles dans l’empire mandingue a été modernisée par une congrégation de frères bénédictins installés dans un village proche de #dakar . #LeMonde #lemondeafrique

Trump’s retribution may focus on individuals,
but it’s a collective harm
-- So it makes sense to spread the cost of dealing with it.In the wake of Donald Trump’s election victory and promised revenge tour,
a number of individuals have proposed the creation of an organization or fund
which would take on the job of defending the various lawsuits, prosecutions and generalized legal harassment Trump will bring to the table in the next four years.It’s a very good idea.
It’s a necessary one.So a few days ago I started reaching out to some people in the legal world and anti-Trump world to find out what’s going on,
whether any efforts are afoot and who is doing what.
What I found out is that there are at least a couple groups working toward doing something like this.
But the efforts seem embryonic.
Or at least I wasn’t able to find out too much.
The overnight news that Trump is now suing #Ann #Selzer and the #Des #Moines #Register over her final election poll for “election interference” makes me think that these efforts aren’t coming together soon enough
or can’t come together soon enough.(If you’re not familiar with the details, Selzer is a pollster of almost legendary status
and in what turned out to be her final public poll, dramatically missed not only the result of the election but the whole direction of it.)Let’s take the Selzer/Des Moines Register suit as our example.
Trump is claiming that he was damaged and should be made whole
because of a poll that showed him behind and turned out to be wrong.His lawyers are trying to shoe-horn this claim into an Iowa consumer fraud statute.
But we shouldn’t be distracted by that.
The idea that a political candidate has a cause of action over a poll is absurd on its face.And really that is precisely the point.
Trump casts penumbras of power and fear with talk; he holds public space; he keeps opponents off balance and guessing.
This is another example.
A lot of the power and point of such an exercise is precisely the absurdity of it.
It is meant to spur a chorus of “You can’t do that” and
“How can he do that?”But he does do it.
We have that same mixture of outrage, incomprehension, uncanny laughter,
the upshot of which is an overwhelming and over-powering belief that the rules somehow don’t apply to this guy.That’s his power and that is the point.
It is a performance art of power enabled by a shameless abuse of the legal system
Trump’s opponents need to learn to speak in that language.
Otherwise it’s a professional wrestling grudge match,
a taunt-fest with only one side taunting.I fear some folks simply don’t get this dimension of what’s going on.
It’s not something you learn in law school and not in conventional, old-style politics either.
Defending the targets is key. But that’s not the only point or even the main one.
It’s about demonstrating the limits of Trump’s power and embarrassing him, President or not.
