“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

That’s what it says on the Statue of Liberty which Emma Lazarus wrote nearly 150 years ago.

look at the news
you don’t have to go as far as Palestine
wherever you live how many people are dead raped or just missing
how many students are at gunpoint either by their peers or the authorities
dead or alive our life is at most an unintended expense to those in power.

Providing accessible quality education is a noble mission few are willing to commit their entire life to.

I have unimaginable respect of Hank and John Green and the entire team at crash course.

Ignorant stupid unintelligent educators who failed in academia should not be allowed to teach the children.

Funny how the writer got the death sentence but the stabber got 25 years

Different courts different values one represents god the other humanity
Yet they are at odds

Rushdie’s criticism was never on the religion itself it was about theological righteousness
The blame was never on God but the actor

The RFK Jr. version of health, where health creates health and healthy people don't get sick and the thing that keeps you healthy is /living the right way/ is very seductive to a lot of people. It also places the burden of illness back on the ill, which decreases the value of human life.
