Donald Trump has managed to maintain his power over the Republicans, which he actively uses to fraction the party. To make matters worse, Republican lawmakers have made it their sole purpose to please the former president, and they continue to remain complicit through this internal power struggle. At this point, it seems like an endorsement from the former president...
Dear Editor,
Students are too preoccupied with assignments, work and life to figure out school resources.
UCR relies on students to do their job. At a CALPIRG meeting, I found out about the existence of the Grocery Support Program the school offers. What’s the point of having these resources when the students are unaware of their existence?
This is a recurring issue...
In recent weeks, the years of suffering in Palestine have emerged in the world’s consciousness and have made a great impact in terms of support for Palestine. However, a call for a ceasefire does not indicate any semblance of peace for the Palestinians who are suffering under Israel’s apartheid. The media has a duty to accurately report on what...
Dear Editor,
I will be the first in my family to live away from home next year, so learning that 6 out of 10 students experience food insecurity makes me nervous, mainly because students are not receiving the necessary resources for proper nutrition. As a first generation student, I wonder how many students skip meals to avoid another financial worry....
The past few years have reshaped the political arena for decades to come. Not only is this a result of just the pandemic, but also of the Trump administration and the divide that has been created in the country.

Even as we move toward the midyear mark of 2021, the world cannot shake the crushing effects of 2020. The number of vaccinations and announcements of reopenings are not a cure-all to the sense of aimlessness and lack of joy the public is experiencing. Unfortunately, the pandemic is like a bad heartbreak 一 it will leave an indelible mark...
Californians can’t be fooled — the Recall Newsom campaign is not a valid criticism of the governor or his policies. It is merely a California Republican tantrum — a dangerous tantrum that will surely send the state into a tailspin just when it is starting to recover from the tumultuous year it has endured. The underserved communities of California...
Politics have become all the more polarized as a result of the pandemic. Although Joe Biden’s campaign promised changes in government and a reversal of many Trump-era policies, we have seen a purge of our freedoms. Legislation has been introduced, aimed at suppressing voting rights through measures that are not only discriminatory but ridiculous and inhumane. And although the...
Home to the third-largest homeless crisis in America, Los Angeles has reached a reckoning to finally help the affected population. In order to prompt the city to do something, a judge is withholding the $1 billion worth of homeless relief that has piled up over the years and placed it in escrow for 60 days. These 60 days will...
April 24, 2021, was a strange day for the world of the internet. The day heralded both a years-long meme of a “Josh Fight” and a wave of TikTok paranoia that men would be committing sexual assault en masse. Thankfully, the Josh Fight was all in good fun and raised money for charity, despite a number of participants not...
