he did this just *after* going to the funeral of an 8 year old girl.

he walks away from where the hearse is idling and immediately starts hyping this stuff again.

The Penguin Lessons | Rotten Tomatoes Inspired by the true story of a disillusioned Englishman who went to work in a school in Argentina in 1976. Expecting an easy ride, Tom discovers a divided nation and a class of unteachable students. ...

I enjoyed this movie, and found myself getting very emotional in light of what is happening in our country now. “An Englishman experiences personal and political changes after adopting a penguin during a turbulent time in Argentina's history.”

This is devastating. With a family member suffering from Parkinson’s I simply cannot believe that these types of cuts to research are in any way justified. Please help me understand!

Image of Mahmoud Khalil and his wife sitting by the water. Next to the image, the quote attributed to Mahmoud Khalil, a student unlawfully detained for his advocacy in support of Palestinian human rights. "The Trump administration is targeting me as part of broader strategy to suppress dissent...In the weeks ahead, students, advocates, officials must unite to defend the right to protest for Palestine. At stake are not just our voices the the fundamental civil liberities of all."

Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and detained simply for voicing his beliefs. Instead of preparing for the arrival of his first child with his wife, he’s sitting in ICE detention.

This Arab American Heritage Month and beyond, we’re fighting for everyone’s fundamental right to dissent.
