Politics wasn’t on Gail Johnson’s radar until the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
A UF Student Government party will have to win more than 50 percent of the student vote to avoid a second election next week.
With a flourish of a sword made of tin foil and cardboard, 55-year-old Paula Pope challenged every driver who passed the Southwest 34th Street sidewalk she was standing on.
Despite receiving a cease and desist letter Jan. 17, organizers still plan to hold a pirate-themed protest Friday afternoon against Congressman Ted Yoho’s campaign contributors.
When former Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine asked a room of about 20 UF students whether they watched Gov. Rick Scott’s final State of the State address earlier that morning, not a single person raised their hand.
Christopher Artiga knew the day would come.
In an effort to advocate for more funding for the National Science Foundation, UF President Kent Fuchs invited Congressman Ted Yoho to UF.
So, you’re headed home for Thanksgiving, or maybe you’re headed out-of-state to see extended family. Either way, at some point this week, you’ll be sitting down with your family and talking about… well, you, probably. You’ve been away at college, and your loved ones will want to know three things:
Harvey Weinstein. Roy Moore. Louis C.K. Sen. Al Franken. Kevin Spacey. President Donald Trump. That’s just off the top of my head. No, the gross crimes and actions these men have been accused of aren't the same and don't share moral equivalency. But the varying shades of sexual misconduct, assault allegations and rape charges indicate a systemic problem beyond Hollywood or Washington, D.C.
On the one year anniversary of the 2016 presidential election, Marcela Mulholland wanted people to connect.
Despite the fact former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lost the presidential election nearly one year ago to date, President Donald Trump, as well as much of America, is still waiting to see her fall even further.
Harvey Weinstein’s actions are well-known to many within his company and others in the industry. Over the years, a few women have spoken out who were affected, but that number could climb as more speak out. Quentin Tarantino, for example, has taken responsibility for knowing about what the Hollywood mogul was doing but not taking action. Weinstein’s actions may seem like a narrow story that only applies to Hollywood, but it does have broader implications.
A white supremacist coming to campus later this week has sparked calls for unity, but these only seem to falsely cover up divisions within our own campus communities.
A red poster advertising the National Women’s Liberation caught the attention of Kristy Sanchez as she walked on the Plaza of the Americas.
You remember when you were a kid and you’d get caught in a lie?
Little Marco,” “Crooked Hillary,” “Lying Ted” and now “Rocket Man.” President Donald Trump distances himself from his opponents using creative terms on a daily basis.
Over the last several days, even amid all of the news coverage surrounding Hurricane Irma, Hillary Clinton has once again managed to find her way into the news cycle for the release of her new book, “What Happened.” Stories surrounding Clinton and her book reveal excerpts that demonstrate her true thoughts on President Donald Trump, her now-evident dislike of Bernie Sanders and, ultimately, her thoughts on the 2016 election. As someone who has had nothing but political disdain for Clinton for most of my adult life, I now pity the poor woman. To detail her political loss, which was supposed to be the highlight of her career, must have been devastating. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. In fact, I feel bad for Hillary Clinton.
The day Giancarlo Tejeda learned he would receive DACA, his mother wept.
I studied and worked hard all my life toward a goal that felt more like a dream because when you are undocumented, going to college is practically impossible. (Yes, I am an undocumented student at UF; I am real.) Despite that fact, I continued to push to be at the top of my class, continued to work toward my dream because I was determined to make it a reality. In 2012, former President Barack Obama changed my life and solidified my plans to go to college with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. At the beginning of my senior year, I was ready to begin my scholarship search and college application, but I was not aware that it would be different from my other peers. I went from person to person with questions on how to answer parts of applications, but no one understood my situation and exposing my status as an undocumented student was risky for my family and me. I filled out a Bright Futures application and went to meetings about FAFSA only to find out that I was ineligible for both. Although people did not understand my situation, I never lost the hope that Obama gave me with the implementation of DACA, and I finally received scholarships from my high school’s foundation that now help me pay for tuition, an opportunity that most are not fortunate enough to receive. In May, I graduated third in my class with a high school and associate's degree on my way to higher education ready to create a better future for myself and the world.
