India’s ‘Alternative To Hong Kong’ Proceeds In Lush Nicobar Island, As Govt Ignores Pleas Of Local Tribals
Over the past 17 years, and most recently in 2022, hunter-gatherers, fisherfolk & farmers of a Nicobarese tribe—inhabiting a rainforest-draped island of the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago for about 50,000 years—have pleaded with the union government to return them to their ancestral land. But with a Rs 72,000-crore plan to build a giant port, international airport, power plant and tourism facilities by cutting about a million trees in 130 sq km of rainforest, the government has erected a wall of silence to their requests to return home.

G20 face-lift: Delhi removes poor people, but not poverty
As tulips were flown in and posters of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi went up, thousands of poor people in India’s capital have been displaced amid a strategic beautification drive. Experts say the $112 million face-lift has come at a hefty cost to the city’s most vulnerable people.

Daman, Run By A Modi Aide, Latest To Deal With Trauma Of Forced Eviction
Appointed by the union government, the administrator of the union territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, Praful Patel, ordered two demolition drives over in Daman in 2023 to remove houses deemed to be ‘illegal encroachments’ on government land, latest in a spate of demolitions in BJP-run or controlled state and union territories. Some said they had lived there for generations and paid taxes for decades. Some homes were built under the PM’s flagship housing programme. Officials said most were ‘immigrants’ living in rented homes.

How slums in Delhi were flattened before the G20 summit
When residents of a slum cluster in New Delhi's Janta Camp area heard that the G20 Summit was to be held in the Indian capital, barely 500 metres from their homes, they expected it would benefit them as well. Instead, they were rendered homeless.

Tribals Fight Illegal Deforestation, Government Inaction In Madhya Pradesh
In Burhanpur district, forest department staff have illegally demolished homes of Adivasis built on forest land, without serving notices, branding the structures as encroachments. The Adivasis, on the other hand, say forest department officials are protecting tree mafias who are alleged to be colluding with the local administration.

At some point these people need to stop letting themselves be used as the rationalization that constant #displacement of people who are OBVIOUSLY not receiving sufficient "advocacy", "outreach", or "shelter"
They need to say their names being evoked every #eviction is not OK and take a stand against the violence.

@threetails @dragonarchitect precisely!
Also #fuel in the #USA is way too #cheap compared to the #EU & #Japan, where the same price in €¢ & ¥ is being paid per liter (!!) as in $¢ per gallon (!!!) in the USA.
I mean, if filling up a #SuperUselessVehicle is still not in the triple digits then there's no need to demand #FuelEfficiency.
Furthermore, #VehicleTax in the USA isn't based on #Displacement multiplied by #Emissions as in #Germany.
