There have been many notable moments in her confirmation hearing so far. Justice Jackson’s husband was seen shedding tears in a heartwarming moment. Her daughter was caught beaming with pride, in what will likely be an era defining picture.

John Mearsheimer has recently made headlines for an article in the New Yorker in which he claims that the United States, not Russia, is to blame for the crisis in Ukraine. Once one can get past the natural emotionally charged reaction that might come from reading such a headline, the realist professor from the University of Chicago makes an argument that seems to make sense on the surface, but fails to uphold further scrutiny.

At its peak, the Bon Appétit (BA) YouTube channel was the hub for foodies, offering creative exploration in the culinary scene, a cast of lovable chefs and a brief escape from the unprecedented times of 2020.

I was never big on crackers growing up. The only crackers I’d ever had in the United Arab Emirates were salty and dry. You could argue I didn’t consume them the right way, but that didn’t matter to me. However, there’s one set of crackers that has intrigued me since 2019: animal crackers.

As part of this action project, the Daily Cardinal Editorial Board mulled over what identity really means. We agreed on the basic tenets of identity, but realized that each of us weighed parts of our identity differently. Identity is a complex and essential part of our being. It is not something that can be catered to through placating actions or by hitting benchmark numbers. A sense of belonging is much deeper than that. This led us to think about what it means to be a Badger. What does the University of Wisconsin-Madison do to truly embrace diverse identities? Is it enough? Or is it all for show?

Manal Hasan sat in her University of Wisconsin-Madison dorm room — feeling friendless, roommateless and absolutely alone. Coming from a town where all of her friends were white and Christian, college would be the first time Hasan would find people who shared her Muslim identity.

When discussing marijuana users, many would use descriptive words like lazy, lethargic or even apathetic. This stigmatization easily causes a strong polarization between those who use, and those who think using is wrong.

The relentless political rhetoric around mask mandates has shifted our focus away from the actual problem. There are countless stories about heated school board fights over whether or not masks should be an issue of student choice. Pandemic precautions have become more about an individual's stance on freedom than what most of us prioritize in principle: people's health.

As geopolitical tensions escalate in Eastern Europe, many point to Russia — the main aggressor in Ukraine — and the United States, the historic protector and patron of Europe in the post-WWII era, as the actors most likely to benefit from the conflict. Since the 2014 invasion of Crimea, the West has engaged in numerous discussions surrounding Russia’s imperial ambitions in former Soviet satellite states, where many view the Russian invasion of Ukraine as a challenge to U.S. hegemony in the region.

At around nine, I visited the Minneapolis Institute of Art. A fountain stood in the middle of the halls, carved from cold white granite. The light that shone on it awoke a spiritual sentiment in me. My mother handed me a penny and I grasped it tightly — so tightly — and for so long that sweat began to pool at the crevices of my knuckles. I then tossed it into the pool of water, a breath releasing from me. The light seemingly intensified, God must have heard my anguish.

A study published in September of 2021 states people below the age of 40 will see natural disasters of unprecedented intensity and frequency. If you aren’t scared, you should be. Look around at life in the US and understand this is not normal, not sustainable, and needs to change if we want to minimize destruction and suffering in the present — let alone the future.

The beginning of February signified a turning point in Italian political affairs, as 2022 began with a serious rise of political tensions within the country. The elections for the President of the Italian Republic have never drawn much attention. Unlike in the American government, the head of the state acts more as a nonpartisan defender of democratic institutions, having almost no executive power but a say in the constitutions of the government.

From the confines of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, we often think of debates over COVID-19 restrictions through the lens of mask mandates in class and vaccination card requirements for events and venues. While there are active debates surrounding the balance between restrictions that ensure community safety and the promotion of civil liberties, these discussions take an additional sense of urgency in developing countries.

I grew up in the UAE, a country where politics aren’t much of a thing. Consequently, I didn’t have the chance to understand global political dynamics. It was enough for me to know the prime minister of my birth country and the leaders of the UAE. Any global leaders were an added bonus. However, since joining the Cardinal, it has been impossible to ignore American politics.

Research papers, lab write-ups and hundred-page reading assignments — as college students assume immense responsibilities, “dropping out and becoming a stripper” always remains an option. The facetious remark voiced by many may appear harmless, providing a needed moment of comedic relief, yet there is a fundamental problem in correlating failure with being a stripper.

Most American universities do not have the privilege to use affirmative action because they do not need to reject many students to meet their target class size. These schools admit most of the students who apply so their student body diversity is reflective of their immediate geography.

Admired as the “public ivies,” the University of California school system remains world-renowned, yet structurally unfair. In turning their back on tax-paying Californians, these flagship state universities have fortified their favoritism towards out-of-state applicants.

In the wake of the creation of the University of Austin, a university that will pride itself on providing an “unbiased” education to their students, professors around the country have critiqued this methodology. The founders of this new university have posed a problem with the ways other universities educate their students, citing a lack of differentiated political opinions amongst professors as an issue.

The United States has a long history of imperialist policies that have resulted in the displacement of indigenous peoples. Following the country's independence, much of the belief of Manifest Destiny led directly to native tribes’ getting expelled from their land. As U.S. imperialism rose, the country formed treaties with tribes that have frequently been violated. The Line 3 pipeline is a proposed channel that will carry tar sands oil from Alberta, CA to Superior, Wis.
