The University of South Carolina would like you to know that it won’t tolerate racist posters on the walls of its buildings. The school said as much in a statement on the matter, citing the university’s “inclusivity and respect for all.”

I wanted to wait until the 2017 Carolina-Clemson blood drive was over before discussing this because giving blood is justifiable. However, the American Red Cross is a very shady organization that the university needs to stop supporting.

Early Saturday morning the Senate voted to rearrange the American economy with a bill they’d introduced less than 24 hours before and without a searchable PDF document. They hadn’t even had time to print it, much let allow independent analysts to review it, before it was voted upon.

The Nov. 7 elections are the magical event where, every four years, national news and opinion writers pretend to deeply care about Virginia for the sake of getting a little more horse-race coverage out of their systems after the presidential election.

The Trump administration is literally laying the groundwork for the genocide of Latinx people.

This week the university is putting on their stigma free mental health week. When I heard, I was initially quite excited. Mental healthcare on campus is bad, as our editorial board noted. I was looking forward to a chance for an open discussion and awareness campaign about common mental illnesses like clinical depression and anxiety as well as some that are more heavily stigmatized in society, like personality disorders and schizophrenia.

Recently I heard someone say that the Trump administration hadn’t affected them at all and I had to do a double take. Really? Not in the slightest? It’s hard for me to believe, if only because the last few months have been an endless stream of attacks on me and others for no real reason at all beyond petty hatred or so a rich donor of the president can make a few bucks.

I have served as a senator in the Residence Hall Association in the past. I can tell you from personal experience that changes to make the organization seem more legitimate or powerful are pointless, and that I have serious doubts as to whether RHA needs to exist at all.

If you’d asked me last year if Park Place or Aspyre were part of campus, I would’ve told you no. It's a fairly long walk to Park Place, and Aspyre has a brutal hill and a set of railroad tracks between it and the university. But now they are both technically considered on-campus housing. There are also freshmen living in both to satisfy the requirement that they live on campus their first year. The juxtaposition of the rule and the results shows that it’s time to re-evaluate the freshmen housing mandate.

The United States is having a bad month in hurricanes. Between the recent destruction in Houston, the largest metropolitan area on the gulf coast, and Irma's path going through Miami, the second largest, just about everything that could go wrong is going wrong.

I wrote in my last column that policies supporting the already wealthy have a racial bias in the United States, whether the policies’ supporters mean to be racist or not. But that ignored one big followup statement that a very vocal and annoying subset of liberals could really stand to hear: economic justice does not automatically lead to justice for women, queer people and people of color.

My thoughts on Nazis are short, simple and not publishable in this paper. They’re also boring, because I assume they’re held by just about everyone who isn’t in the KKK, the White House or the Minecraft Let’s Play community.

Some students were upset that classes were only canceled after 3:10 p.m. on Monday following the women's basketball team's NCAA tournament victory.

The large decline in smoking in the late 1900s is one of the most underappreciated public health victories in U.S. history. While formerly a near majority of American adults smoked, now barely one in five do. This is good because it literally saves lives of both smokers and those around them exposed to secondhand smoke. The latter is particularly insidious as even people who didn't make an unhealthy decision still have to pay the price for it.

This weekend a release date for the film “3 Generations,” formerly “About Ray,” was announced. It’s a film ostensibly about a trans character, which would otherwise be welcome, but it falls victim to almost every single pitfall Hollywood's attempts to represent trans people suffer from. So let’s talk about representation, why it’s needed and why the media is doing it badly.

I am sick.

Milo Yiannopoulos is one of those people I generally prefer to ignore. Unfortunately, recent events have made this all but impossible for me and anyone else who still manages to stomach reading the news.

When writing about the upcoming Trump administration, many journalists have picked their copies of "1984" back up and looked to Orwell for guidance on what a thin-skinned president with the federal government at his command could do. I’ve turned to "Slaughterhouse-Five" instead, as I think we’re witnessing something more akin to a massacre than a government.
