Truth,
“Nous sommes tous Charlie”
I got to explain to my kids today why you must still keep publishing (cartooning, writing, speaking up) after something like this happens.
“We are all Charlie.”
You said it better than anyone else, I think. Keep shouting that truth at the world. Maybe someday it’ll listen.
Not religious but Amen to that.
