As November ends, please remember that this month, Stanford held the first ever *FELONY* trial against student protestors‼️

Last year, the Stanford 11 occupied the president's office to protest the University's support for genocide.

Support them today! #dropthecharges

The strong nuclear force is what makes the universe more than hydrogen gas. It’s the fundamental property of reality that creates complexity from chaos.

Empathy does the same for societies—which is why its absence is what we call evil.

Just to review, in the last week the President of the United States:

- Refused to condemn the rise of Neo-Nazis in his party
- Tried to block the release of further evidence he sexually abused children
- Encouraged the execution of Congressional Democrats

Those are just factual statements.

Hungary’s Orban seemed undefeatable a year ago.

Then Peter Magyar broke through with a powerful anti-corruption platform, rapidly consolidated the fractured opposition, and now leads Fidesz comfortably.

Anti-corruption defeats authoritarianism worldwide. It will work here, too.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

A Chinese immigrant named

He was found hanging with his hands and feet tied behind him in the “hog tie” position.

Deaths within these camps continue to rise, with more people dying in the last nine months than in the entire previous four years.
