“I’m still part of the family, it’s there I live to the exclusion of everywhere

Happy pride, babes!

Q: What distinguishes a prison from a concentration camp?

Opinion | This Is How Universities Can Escape Trump’s Trap, If They Dare (Gift Article) It’s been tried in other countries facing authoritarian crackdowns. It works.
