Finir un livre, ce n’est pas seulement atteindre la dernière page. C’est quitter un monde, une voix, des personnages auxquels on a prêté du temps, de l’attention et parfois de l’affection. ➡️ l.franceculture.fr/GsP

Au cours de sa vie, Frida Kahlo a peint près de 75 autoportraits. Une exploration inlassable de sa propre image qui lui a permis d'évoquer des souvenirs d'enfance et des drames intimes, de revendiquer son identité et de questionner les codes de genre.⁠ ➡️ l.franceculture.fr/uHI

“Tous les hommes naissent égaux.” Très belle phrase. Mais en 1776, elle oublie beaucoup de monde : les femmes, les Noirs esclavisés, les peuples autochtones. La Révolution américaine a inventé un idéal immense. Et ses angles morts avec. ➡️ l.franceculture.fr/eQj

A major water crisis is engulfing Puerto Rico right now. Help from the mainland can't come fast enough. The administration & Congress need to act now to deploy resources. We must support our fellow Americans in quickly upgrading their water infrastructure to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe.

Once beset by power outages, Puerto Ricans also hit with severe water shortages

Thousands of Puerto Ricans are struggling with water shortages so severe that the governor of the U.S. territory has activated the National Guard and emergency responders are fielding calls every day.

For years, there has been a worsening infrastructure crisis in Puerto Rico. The status quo cannot be tolerated. From Chicago to Flint to Puerto Rico and everywhere in between, access to water is not negotiable. We must act to ensure justice for our communities.
