Acknowledge bipartisan agreement on Trump policies
(02/14/17 5:13am)
It has been over three weeks since Donald Trump was inaugurated as our nation’s 45th president, and he has largely kept up with some of his most radical campaign promises. In these three weeks, we have also seen bitter and divisive partisan attacks, such as silencing Senator Elizabeth Warren on the Senate Floor or early-morning cabinet confirmation hearings; D.C. continues to give the appearance of sharp division along partisan lines. However, there are several issues that many Democrats and Republicans can agree on in the age of the Trump administration.

Oppose Trump’s recent executive action on immigration
(02/07/17 6:39am)
On Friday, Jan. 27, exactly a week after taking office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order which threw the American immigration system into chaos. Families were separated for hours, protesters gathered in large numbers at major international airports, and judges acted quickly to block parts of the order after suits were brought by groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union. Trump’s executive order suspends refugee resettlement in the United States for months, except in Syria, from which refugee resettlement is indefinitely suspended. In addition, the executive order temporarily bans entry for citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. Purportedly, the ban will help bolster national security and protect Americans from terrorism. In reality, Trump will accomplish little more than wrecking the lives of properly vetted refugees, making things even harder for Muslims and refugees in this country and casting the lives of green card and visa holders abroad into disarray. Students at Brandeis are no exception; some are afraid that they may not be allowed to return from study abroad. Whether Trump’s executive order will stand up in the courts is unclear, but we should hope that it does not. The ban is dangerous and unethical, but furthermore, it signals that the nation itself has turned its back on its most cherished values.

Indie movies decidedly triumphant in 2016
(01/24/17 5:54am)
The year the indies triumphed. Not one blockbuster, enjoyable as some exceptions were (“Captain America: Civil War,” “Deadpool,” “Rogue One”), managed to reach my top ten favorite movies of 2016. The year’s movies averaged out a B- grade, but the following films were all at minimum an A-. They outweighed the duds that were “Suicide Squad,” “War Dogs” and “Magnificent 7.”
Resist Trump’s attacks on American freedom of the press
(01/24/17 4:49am)
In his most recent press-related tantrum, President Donald Trump called journalists “among the most dishonest human beings on earth” in response to their inauguration crowd estimates, according to a Jan. 21 New York Times article. While White House press secretary Sean Spicer’s insistence that Friday saw “the largest audience to witness an inauguration, period,” despite evidence otherwise, seems almost laughable, the president’s continued attacks on press credibility and his ever-growing vendetta should be more cause for concern than laughter.

Criticize choice of climate change skeptic for EPA transition
(11/22/16 5:13am)
Climate change is real, and it is caused by human activities — but Donald Trump is employing a climate-change skeptic, Myron Ebell, as head of his Environmental Protection Agency transition team, and that will only make global warming worse.
