[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today is the Day of Remembrance for the Children Killed by Russia. Officially, it has a different name. But in the language of truth, this is exactly what it is. This day is about the most painful episodes of the war, about the greatest injustice and the evil Russia inflicts when the most vulnerable and the most innocent are killed. Children.

Currently, that figure is at least 707 Ukrainian children. And there are also thousands of children whom Russia has wounded, abducted, and thousands of children whose fate remains unknown. These are important and horrifying figures, but behind them lies something greater than statistics about Russian crimes alone. These were children's dreams, plans, and hopes that were simply erased. This is the pain of every mother and every father who does not know how to go on living with that. Living with such pain.

Our Ukrainian children. Some were only a few days old. Some had just started first grade. Others should have been celebrating their graduation. This is who a sick state is waging war against. This is who the so-called second army of the world is fighting – an army incapable of winning on the battlefield and seeking to assert itself by targeting children.

Eternal memory to every child who was killed. It is our enduring duty to remember, to protect our children, and to do everything possible to ensure that the evil Russia has brought is punished.

[Ce jour-là dans l'Histoire @CeJour_Histoire]

Elle naît dans une Amérique où une petite fille noire et pauvre ne vaut presque rien.

Saint-Louis, Missouri, 3 juin 1906. Père inconnu, mère domestique. Elle dort dans le froid, travaille chez les autres dès l'enfance, quitte l'école très tôt.

À 13 ans, elle danse déjà dans la rue. À 19 ans, elle traverse l'Atlantique pour Paris. En une nuit, en 1925, la Revue nègre fait d'elle la femme la plus regardée d'Europe.

Mais la suite, on l'oublie souvent.

Quand la guerre éclate, la star aurait pu fuir, protégée par sa gloire. Elle choisit l'inverse. Dès 1939, elle renseigne le contre-espionnage français. Elle cache des messages dans ses partitions, profite des soirées mondaines pour écouter, transmettre. Refuse de chanter devant l'occupant.

La France lui remettra la Médaille de la Résistance, puis la Légion d'honneur et la Croix de guerre.

Le 30 novembre 2021, son cénotaphe entre au Pant-héon. Première femme noire à y être honorée.

Elle s'appelait Joséphine Baker. L'Amérique l'avait rejetée. La France l'a faite immortelle.

Vous la connaissiez en résistante, ou seulement en artiste ?

Quelle terrible façon de commencer la journée.

Marjane Satrapi est morte de tristesse à 56 ans.

Pour plusieurs générations de femmes, elle a été une icone.

De la liberté du peuple iranien, et en particulier des femmes, face à la tyrannie des mollahs.

Puisse son œuvre irrésistible et son souvenir, celui d'une femme follement libre, drôle et talentueuse, nous guider à l'avenir.

Marjane Satrapi n'est plus, mais Persepolis est éternel.

Feminism and Prostitution: Beyond ‘The Happy Hooker’ by Robert Jensen

“… Is it possible to imagine any society achieving a meaningful level of justice if people from one sex/gender class are routinely bought and sold for sexual services by people from another sex/gender class? If one class of people are defined as available to be bought and sold for sexual services, is there any way that the class of people doing most of the selling would not be assigned subordinate status to the dominant class that does almost all of the buying? Is justice possible when the most intimate spaces of the bodies of people in one group can be purchased by people in another group?

Same questions, stated differently: If we lived in an egalitarian society with sex/gender justice, would the idea of buying and selling people for sexual services likely emerge at all? If we lived in a society that put the dignity of all people at the centre of its mission, would anyone imagine sex work?

Another formulation: You are constructing a society from scratch, with the power not only to write laws but also to write the stories people tell about themselves, each other, and the larger living world. Would you write stories about how one sex/gender class routinely buys and sells another sex/gender class for sexual pleasure?

Last question: You are speaking with a girl who is considering future vocations. You want her to live in a world with sex/gender justice. She asks you, “What do you think I should be when I grow up?” Do you include prostitute on the list? If she includes that on her list, do you respond in the same way as to other possibilities?

These questions are about the nature of a system and the predictable consequences of the status and power relations among members of different groups within the system. This inquiry is not a judgment about how any individual makes decisions within the existing patriarchal system, but an exercise in imagining the shape of a non-patriarchal system. Such radical analysis does not ignore individuals and their decisions but starts with an honest account of the system within which they live. In patriarchy, the value of some women can be reduced to their ability to service men, which means that any woman potentially can be reduced to that status…”
