Disasters are neither acts of God nor facts of nature.

There is only one side for democracies to stand on today: Ukraine’s.
The USA have made their choice and stance - once again - clear today.
Thinking of my Ukrainian friends, colleagues and students who live under the bombs; of their relatives and loved ones fighting for their country and Europe.

Les livres politiques d'habitude m'emmerdent. Ils m'ennuient autant qu'ils servent de cautions à des ambitions malvenues.
Boris Vallaud, lui, nous offre un livre court et important. N'y cherchez pas un programme, mais une éthique politique; une façon d'être et d'agir de gauche.
A lire !!!
