The current rules of the Senate enable tyranny of the minority. As 2020 Democratic primary candidates outline their plans to tackle these issues, it is important to keep in mind that no ambitious course of action can be adopted — even with Democratic majorities in the House and Senate — if the filibuster remains.
If the University wishes to make good on its words, it must examine Firestone’s enduring presence on our campus.
If you take up the challenge and work in either the retail industry, suddenly “their job” will become “your job.”

By putting such bold ideas into a real congressional proposal, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Markey have sent a loud and clear message that the status quo of U.S climate policy is unsustainable and unworkable.
It might seem like a lot of work to learn about issues that don’t directly impact your day to day life. But the reality is that all these issues relate to us because our actions affect other people.

Recently, I proved with demographic data that the Street is socioeconomically segregated and that sports teams feed into certain eating clubs. The recently leaked subset of Ivy Club’s 2017 Bicker cards now explain why my findings are right.
Beyond Republican hypocrisy, the wholesale, disproportionately severe condemnation of Omar reflects the increasing and dangerous conflation of anti-Jewish hatred and a legitimate criticism of Israel’s militarism. Such conflation, often consciously deployed by cynical conservatives, serves to chill any hint of pro-Palestinian political discourse.
