The right to privacy — or lack thereof — has sparked debates around the ever growing data monitorization. In times of safety and security concern, privacy has often been sacrificed, a theme that is becoming ever more apparent in the COVID-19 era.

Everywhere I go on Twitter, I see a lot of talk about the stock market. It has been inescapable for the last few days. Since my early childhood, I have found the business section of newspapers the most nauseating. It’s not like I have a fear or hatred of math or do not understand the basic concept of profit and loss. I just found it rather muddling early on. As I grew older, I began looking further into how Wall Street worked and right from the get go, it felt morally questionable — in addition to still being quite muddling. My feelings haven’t changed since.

In the past week, there has been considerable controversy in the University of Wisconsin Law School community surrounding whether an organization opposed to trans-gender rights should be permitted to participate in the Wisconsin Public Interest Interview Program organized by the law school. While the organization adheres to the law school’s non-discrimination policy in its hiring, Women’s Liberation Front (WLF) embraces positions rejected by many law students, most notably its opposition to anti-discrimination protections based on gender identity.

Since the Republicans flipped the Senate in the 2014 midterm elections and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was elected majority leader, he has been seen as a one man opposition. The invincible Grim Reaper of any left-of-center legislation that dares rear its head in the Senate chambers. Sen. McConnell’s political acumen, honed by years in Senate leadership, is not in question but his reputation as an immovable obstacle is far too easy an excuse for feckless Democrats to quit before the fight even starts.

It was revealed on Sunday, Jan. 3, that President Trump, in truly bizarre fashion, intimidated and attempted to coerce Republican Secretary of State of Georgia Brad Raffensperger into “finding” approximately 12,000 votes in Georgia, which would in turn secure him the 16 electoral votes from the state.

In an interview with the Associated Press, US Attorney General Bill Barr stated that “to date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election.” This factual statement caused a Republican revolt against Barr, with Rudy Guiliani — who Trump tapped to head his 2020 election legal team — declaring that “with all due respect to the Attorney General [a Republican, Trump appointee], there hasn’t been any semblance of an investigation into the president’s complaints.”

The 2020 Presidential Election was an emotional roller-coaster for all. Whether you were like me — an onlooker from thousands of miles away and in a different timezone, watching states like Georgia and Wisconsin flip in real time — or like my Cardinal-affiliated, America-based friends and colleagues who were likely losing sleep, it was a nerve wracking spectacle that tested everyone’s mental fortitude.

In 2016, the Wisconsin State Council on Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Prevention Committee (SCAODA) released a 72 page report with recommendations on how to reduce the public health impact of marijuana in the community.

We write this letter after having introduced legislation on behalf of the Associated Students of Madison (ASM), calling for Chief Human Resources Officer Mark Walters and Vice Chancellor of Finance & Administration Laurent Heller to extend payment to any student worker telecommuting, regardless of whether they are in the U.S. or not. As of right now, dozens of international student workers are providing labor to this institution that they are not being compensated for, constituting wage fraud.

There is no better feeling than waking up on a Badger game day, with ecstatic energy in the atmosphere, the people of Madison united in red and the smell of brats roasting on the barbeque.

The most apropos phrase to describe the events revolving the election from the past few days would be “a failure to unify.” One does not require clairvoyance to predict that this will be a theme which continues to plague our nation to its bedrock.

Kamala Harris made history on Nov. 7, shattering the glass ceiling and becoming the first woman vice-president-elect in history. She is the first woman and first woman of color to hold this office — a major milestone that exposes our nation’s damaging history of racial injustice and patriarchy.
