IN DEFENSE OF TELLING FAMILY MEMBERS THAT THEY AREN’T QUALIFIED TO ARGUE WITH YOU ABOUT POLITICS

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted January 28, 2020 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Dear Reader, NEWS+OPINIONS

PRESSLEY DISRUPTS EUROCENTRIC AESTHETIC ABOUT HAIR

Written by IRENE MONROE Posted January 22, 2020 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Editorial, NEWS+OPINIONS, Op-Ed

Femininity and attractiveness are integrally linked to hair as a Eurocentric aesthetic. Pressley, however, disrupts this notion because she’s stunningly gorgeous and regal—with or without hair.

ROE IN MASS: ‘DON’T FEEL COMFORTABLE’

Written by EMMA FINNERTY Posted June 19, 2019 Filed Under: News, NEWS+OPINIONS

Mass leaders speak on the threat to a woman’s right to choose: "Yes, we’re first in the nation, and we really have always been. And I would hope that Massachusetts would be sort of a light unto these other states that have taken a different direction. Because I think that history is on our side, this is the right thing to do."

Written by MAX L. CHAPNICK Posted June 19, 2019 Filed Under: News, NEWS+OPINIONS
