Otherwise, the phrase “find Minerva” is not a real thing … Continue reading Finding Minerva Beyond the Statue

She’s Right, We’re Not Going Back: A Call for Kamala
Liz Hyman, Staff Writer Who remembers the fateful moment Donald Trump became President? I do. I was fifteen, sitting “crisscross applesauce” on a blanket in my teenage bedroom. It was nearly 2:00 in the morning, and, as I checked the Snapchat coverage of the 2016 election, my stomach suddenly dropped.
