“Don’t give hate a platform!” This audacious remark is only one of the taglines of countless petitions launched at Twitter and Facebook in an attempt to deplatform or ban Donald Trump from their social media sites.
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. They recommended that Wisconsin not legalize marijuana and instead recommended that those with possession and use crimes continue to be thrown in jail.
In response to a rapid increase of COVID-19 cases, Public Health Madison & Dane County released Emergency Order #10, completely prohibiting all indoor gatherings and limiting outdoor gatherings to 10 people.
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. All of this seemed very distant, however, as the season was canceled in late August, leaving Badger fans everywhere devastated.
“The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection.”
In the Nov. 10 article “Plan Commission passes motion to build luxury apartment building despite resident opposition”, several residents were quoted arguing against the approval of a 10-story, 148-unit apartment building at 402-412 East Washington.
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.
The Task Force on Government Structure began meeting in 2018 with the goal of studying local government and drafting recommendations to improve its efficiency and make it more equitable. These are the recommendations that made it into the final report, per the Wisconsin State Journal:

Following Trump’s election in 2016, news organizations analyzed their role in providing unprecedented amounts of press coverage to his campaign and how that may have influenced the election’s outcome. News outlets’ shifts in coverage practices, however, have a critical misunderstanding — political bias is not the problem.
The Oct. 26 U.S. Supreme Court ruling against a six-day deadline extension for mailed ballots in Wisconsin not only demonstrated a blatant disregard for voters’ safety, but an act of voter suppression that lended support to Donald Trump’s efforts to undermine a secure method of voting.
It is like a gnat. An annoying, incessant buzz in your ear. From September to November, during an election year, you cannot open your phone or turn on the TV without getting ads encouraging you to vote. It is unending. Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, Spotify, YouTube; ads are plastered all over these sites and while it may be irrational, you can become resentful.
On Sept. 11, 1990, in the final months of the Cold War, President George H.W. Bush addressed a joint session of Congress. He spoke to the American people about the crisis that was taking place in the Persian Gulf. Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi army had invaded and occupied the country of Kuwait. Iraq on its own controlled ten percent of the world’s proven oil reserves and if allowed to annex Kuwait, it would control twice that.
Heading into the Nov. 3 election, we are in crisis mode. Each day we are inundated with new, depressing messages about the coronavirus pandemic, the economic downturn and the pressure of partisan politics weighing us down as we attempt to float above waters, grasping for a breath of fresh air. Our grievances and futures are on the ballot this year.
With only days left until Election Day, we are not afraid to inundate your social media and our channels with voting PSAs. Whether you are a freshman who can now vote for the first time, a youth voter with some experience or an experienced alum who keeps up with our coverage, we believe it is our duty to mobilize voters into taking action. Voting is indeed a civic duty that must be taken seriously, especially in an election dubbed as “the most consequential in American history.”
I started to realize that I was gay one year after the Supreme Court ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges that legalized same-sex marriages across the nation. As I was figuring out who I was, I was lucky enough to know that whether I was gay, straight or somewhere in between, I would be able to marry whoever I wanted.
