Early last week, Alex Lasry, the 33-year-old son of billionaire Wall Street baron and Bucks owner Marc Lasry, announced his intention to seek the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in 2022. The seat is currently occupied by gaffe-prone Trump loyalist Ron Johnson, so the Democrats will be gunning hard for it come election season.
Undergraduate Badger, Reem Salah, knows that when she fills out the 2020 U.S. Census Bureau, she will be fulfilling a constitutional obligation; but with that right, she will also be sacrificing a part of her identity, and it’s completely out of her control. Despite the years of implicit bias and microaggressions she has faced growing up in Wisconsin as an Arab American, her culture, her ethnicity, her identity — all of that was completely disregarded, trivialized and instantly erased as she checked “white” on the Census’s race question.
Within the city of Madison, there are a plethora of issues which affect local residents. Oftentimes, though, it’s easy to get caught up in national level issues, leading city politics to take a back seat. As students and residents alike, we bear witness to the impacts of housing policies, policing and drug enforcement, to name just a few issues.
If the last four years of American political theatrics have taught us anything, it is that politicians and their kin are often made out to be celebrities, and their supporters are willing to defend their every move by mudslinging at opponents. The cult-like devotion of Trump supporters is likely to persist long into the future of the Republican party. Anyone remotely critical of their leader is immediately labeled communist or socialist, to the point that these words no longer seem to hold meaning. Ad hominem responses are rife in political discourse on social media, and the most die-hard Trump supporters deal almost exclusively in them. However, this is all well documented. Those on the receiving end of the abuse, however, do not receive nearly as much attention, when they probably should.
Editor’s Note: On March 31, 2021, the Daily Cardinal retracted this endorsement of Ayomi Obuseh for District 8 Alder following the candidate’s discouraging comments on sexual assault. Read the full statement here.
Governor Tony Evers has once again proposed to legalize medicinal and recreational marijuana as part of his 2021-23 Wisconsin state budget. Evers has previously advocated for legalization in his 2019-2021 budget, only to see his plan go up in smoke due to Republicans in the State Legislature.
The Associated Students of Madison (ASM) are seeking to create a $2 million COVID-19 student relief fund despite numerous reminders from University officials that the fund can't legally move forward as proposed.
As March approaches, we have reached the one-year anniversary of a pandemic that has left millions of Americans unemployed, college seniors with one of the worst job markets in modern history and a government who has rolled out negligible financial support for its citizens. And, on top of that, one demographic has been consistently overlooked time and time again: College students.
As the birthplace of Big Tech, the U.S. is a global technological powerhouse. This is further seen in robotic systems and missiles used by the military. With this in mind, I was in shock when I stumbled upon Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers’ Twitter thread highlighting how outdated the state unemployment system is.
In the wake of a presidency tempered in raw angst, one of which that reveled in partisan divide, it is easy to lose oneself in the comforting reassurances of the next administration. Instead, we must remain vigilant of further demagoguery.
The murder of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department, and the riots and protests that have followed, have forged an essential discussion on police brutality that has been long in the making. In the past, many of us have responded to publicized incidents of police brutality by giving officers the benefit of the doubt because we believe that the other side of the story will justify their actions. We must now reckon, however, that the "other side of the story" does not always absolve police officers' of wrongdoing. For the first time, many of us now stare directly into the eyes of police brutality's harsh existence, the same existence that Black people have known to be true their entire lives.
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.
The last four years have inflicted carnage on American democracy. The Trump administration’s shattering of presidential norms, attacks on the free press and insistence on unwavering loyalty has ultimately led us to what has been dubbed the most divisive era in American history.
ESG, also known as socially responsible investing or impact investing, refers to investing strategies which consider the environmental, social, and governance factors of companies. Due to the present global pandemic and concern about climate change, socially responsible and sustainable investing is expected to surge as consumers and Wall Street investors are increasingly holding companies accountable for their performance on environmental, social and governance benchmarks.
George Floyd's death shook the world, marking yet another African American murder at the hands of systematic racially-motivated violence. Floyd’s name spread like wildfire across social and traditional media platforms and protests occurred worldwide, beginning in Minneapolis on May 26.
On Wednesday, as Congress began counting electoral votes in a free election, insurrectionists breached the U.S. Capitol Building and halted the proceedings.
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.
