The past few weeks have been troublesome for our country. Rather than add my voice to the chorus (read: cacophony) of those opinionating, I chose to listen, weighing the implications of cyber grief and outrage.
This past week’s trauma is no secret.
Hear ye, hear ye, dear readers. We’re already nearing the end of our second week this semester. How does time pass so quickly? Are we to learn that the Earth is rotating on its axis at faster rates? Is the very fabric of spacetime in jeopardy as the possibility of a Mein Drumpf presidency becomes evermore plausible? No matter: We invite you to take solace and pleasure in our latest segment of…
Brianna DuPree dreams of shadows.
Editor's note: This is part of an ongoing series on sexual assault survivors. See Thursday’s paper for an overview of the legal options and processes that survivors experience.
While Hillary Clinton seems like the most qualified candidate, she is also the least challenging to the wealthy on the Democratic side and only comes out with progressive stances when it is safe to and when the majority already supports her proposal.

With Florida’s presidential primaries and Gainesville city elections finally over, we can take a sigh and briefly shift focus toward a non-political issue worthy of discussion: Spider-Man. For those actually invested in the real world who may not have heard the breaking news from last week, Marvel Studios released a new trailer for “Captain America: Civil War,” which featured the return of everyone’s friendly, neighborhood web-slinger.

This quite often takes the form of questionable means to an end, an unpredictable narrative trajectory and unsavory moral flaws.
Whoa. Where am I? Just a minute ago, I was walking down University Avenue, but before I knew it, I blacked out and woke up in the opinions section of the Alligator.
UF students fought the wind to light candles Monday night to show that black Muslim lives matter.
I am not black, and I will never grasp the depth of the suffering, past and present, of the members of the African diaspora.
Mental health and student diversity are important issues to the second candidate for vice president of Student Affairs.
On Thursday, a team of scientists at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory detected gravitational waves. In measuring the sound of two black holes colliding, one of the last points of Einstein’s theory of relativity was proven correct. However, this triumph is not just a triumph for the sake of discovery; it was a triumph for the scientists who dedicated decades of their lives to proving this research. The time spent toward the study was worth it.
At-risk children from Marion County and Alachua County learned about overcoming violence Saturday.
UF students met Friday night to talk about their experiences facing oppression.
Editor's Note: This was transcribed from a recording of the debate.
Cars honked and students cheered during a march to support presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., on Saturday.
I’ve wanted to write about the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement for a while, but I haven’t had a real reason that’d be worth the inevitable barely-coherent shouting in my direction.
