As long as we buy the logic of lesser evil and the rationales of civic duty, any risk to that order will be inconsequential.
While it isn’t new for judicial hearings to be drawn out and stuffed with party politics to the point of pointlessness, the events and circumstances of these hearings are notable for the refusal to change to aremote format and the hyprocrisy aired through them.
However, as the radically unexpected events of 2020 have unfolded, Biden’s embodiment of vanilla politics might be just what Americans need.
Our relationships in and beyond the classroom are undeniably central to the quality of our learning. And while it will surprise no one that virtual Princeton is markedly different from physical Princeton, the potentially damaging impact of online learning on our way of engaging with each other should alarm us. Knowing this — and knowing what lies immediately ahead — we should fight to mitigate the effects of these phenomena.
American presidents have the ability to set an example for the rest of the country. By being honest and open about their health, they can display how illness can be viewed not as a weakness, but as a mark of resilience.
People in prison are counted in the census in the places where they are incarcerated, but not in their home areas.

With the midterms stress dying down and finals just around the corner, I want to remind students to take a step back and live for what we have now.

With a few minor adjustments, the orange bubble could become a sanctuary that protects insets from light’s dark side.
The show is premised on the idea that if the right people are at the helm, government can serve everyone fairly. But at a time when systemic issues are top of mind, where we question whether reform is enough, that idea is harder to accept, as much as we wish it were true.
Knowing what we know, it would be malpractice not to divest with all due speed.
