Protestors at the Good Trouble Protest in DC in 2025 celebrating the spirit of John Lewis, civil rights activist dating back to the 60s. One person holds up a huge banner with the words "Release the Jeffrey Epstein files NOW. Republicans support pedophiles." Another, in the foreground holds a small sign saying "This is not a left or right moment. It's a right or wrong moment."
Didier Eribon leans one arm on a small table. He is wearing a dark coat, zipped almost all the way. He is looking off the the left, eyes shining and smiling slightly, looking as if he is about to say something. He is standing in front of a large rusted metal column at a park.

Didier Eribon: “Governments that impose cuts are criminal because they consolidate the far right in power.”
