I love Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Imagine interviewing someone huge and this is the first thing they say to you, I'd be shaking

"C'est au nom du racisme que les pires horreurs ont été commises."
Le message fondamental délivré à Sciences Po par Esther Senot, l'une des dernières rescapées d’Auschwitz, qui résonne très fort en cette journée internationale pour l'élimination de la discrimination raciale.

Something quite amazing on 🇫🇷 TV just now 👇

Macron being interviewed by 50 journalists all with autistic spectrum disorder. They ask him questions no one else would, and he replies as normally he wouldn't. Incredible to watch

Chapeau 👏 to him and @France2tv @JournalPapotin

I love public libraries because they are built on the principle that books are so important and so necessary to human flourishing that access to them cannot depend on your income.
