Reclaiming “Go Back to Your Country”
According to USAfacts.org, since 2018 alone, the U.S has welcomed over 45 million immigrants from all over the world. These families and individuals have left everything behind in order to pursue the “American dream”, as it is advertised. They soon learned that this dream would not be an easy climb due to the oppressive and systemically racist wall that barricades immigrants and people of color from reaching it. After years of being chastised, overworked, and with the promise of the American dream nowhere in sight, immigrants are finally listening.

Drivers of Biological Weapons Programmes: The Influence of the Individual on the Japanese Biological Proliferation
Responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands of people between 1932 and 1945 (Li, 2003, p. 289), the Japanese BW programme is still considered unique nowadays, due to the unethical procedures employed and the level of impunity of its perpetrators.

There seems to be little information, however, on the causal mechanisms that led Japan to embark on this programme in the 1930s.

Learned Helplessness: Why De-funding the Police and Military are Vital for Freedom
The people of the United States are undoubtedly on an incredible precipice of power. In less than 10 days the national guard was unleashed on legal protestors. Over a 100 journalists were attacked by police while covering the protest; and in both Los Angeles and New York police officers drove their vehicles into crowds of people. All of which brings into question the strength of our ‘democracy’ and the public utility of police.
