This quote is from “Teaching Community: A Pedagogy of Hope” (2003).

It starts with a Paulo Freire quote:

“It is imperative that we maintain hope even when the harshness of reality may suggest the opposite.”

Physicists in Stanford manage to create a "time-crystal". This is a major breakthrough and exhibits a new non-equilibrium quantum phase of matter. It also brings up to the edge of a new paradigm of physics by arresting entropy

Basic science, starting with fieldwork and looking at what nature has invented, is important if we are to discover things that we could not imagine. This type of science deserves more funding. Without it, the world would not be meeting the #BORGs

It is unnatural to be ok with and allow for your Home to be demolished, or be forcibly removed from it or be ok with your father being killed, your mother being humiliated, your grandfather being brutalized, your younger sibling detained. You would defend everything you love.

@MayaActs @NIH_LLAMAS @AlexandraErin @RepBradWenstrup I thought your joke was funny. My first thought was, Why isn't Jesus wearing scrubs? My second impression was of his hairline.

The death penalty is fundamentally a poor person’s issue. Over nearly 40 years of visiting death row facilities across the United States, I have never met a single person with money or resources. Capital punishment means “those without the capital get the punishment.”
