Last day of #shot2025! I must admit that I’ve developed a slight case of campus envy while here in Belval.

#TIL that Adolphe Sax (inventor & namesake of the saxophone) was nicknamed "The Ghost," and nearly died several times during his childhood. He originally viewed his musical instruments as weapons that French performers could use to compete against Prussian marching bands. #SHOT2025

La droite extrême-droitisée du MR ose remettre ça sur le tapis. C'est infect.
On rappelle à nouveau que le MR avait voté CONTRE la loi autorisant le mariage homosexuel.
Comme il avait d'ailleurs voté CONTRE la loi dépénalisant l'IVG.
Par "communautarisme" des fachos intégristes.
