Un cours sur cinq à l'université est assuré par un vacataire. Leur paie ? Moins d'1 % du budget de l'ESR (source : vacataires.org). Les doubler coûterait < 1 %. Ce n'est pas la « crise ». C'est un choix et le mot « crise » sert à masquer le mépris. #JeSuisLéa · jesuislea.fr

Bolloré a tellement gagné la bataille du lexique que la ministre chargée de la lutte contre les discriminations affirme, sur CNews, que la théorie du grand remplacement n'est pas raciste. Chaque jour une nouvelle digue s'effondre de la sorte. Mais que faire, à part documenter le désastre qui vient?

Visiting Bucharest, just found the building of the Jewish high school “Max Aziel”. My grandfather went there in the early 1930s. It was nationalized in 1948 by the communist authorities.

I don’t get it, is he threatening to wage war on Iran, which is exactly what he’s been doing for more than a month now? Is he threatening to intervene specifically in the Strait, which is exactly what he’s already acknowledged he cannot fully do?

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
