In the wake of former Vice President Kamala Harris’ defeat in the 2024 presidential election, Democrats throughout the country have been playing the blame game. With the party unable to develop a coherent message to oppose President Donald Trump’s policies, many prominent Democrats have developed varying strategies to help their prospects in future elections. While some Democrats are using Trump’s policies as fuel to rally their base, others are attempting to moderate their image. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., are holding joint rallies across the country to stand up against Elon Musk and the billionaire class. In contrast, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a potential candidate for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination, has started his own podcast where he features many prominent right-wing figures such as Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk. While Newsom stated that he started this podcast to engage with more conservative voters, he has instead given the far right a free platform to speak with little pushback and even went so far as to agree with their attacks on transgender athletes. This podcast serves as a perfect metaphor for how Democrats are fumbling the hand they’ve been dealt, as Trump’s policies continue to increase prices and take away jobs. Instead of sitting back in the shadows and hoping voters will see them as more moderate than the Republicans currently in power, Democrats need to go on the offensive and prove that they do have a policy agenda that’s better than the status quo.

It’s March, and everyone’s talking about their March Madness brackets. This year, I’ve decided to get in on it as well. Currently, my bracket has “Rap Rat” going all the way with “BreaKey” and “The Campaign for North Africa: The Desert War 1940–43” in second and third place. We’re all talking about “The Worst Board Game of All Time Bracket Tournament 2,” right?

“BRING BACK LEMONADE,” “FRIES BETTER THAN IN-AND-OUT, FIRE BROWNIE” and “Rice Please!! just rice” — these are just a few of the handwritten notes plastered across the comment board in Dewick-MacPhie Dining Center, directly adjacent to the dishwasher carousel. To many students, this bulletin board has served as an untapped outlet for expression, an evolving tapestry of jokes and doodles. To others, it is a serious forum for discussion — a cork agora of sorts to ruminate on the most sublime successes and catastrophic failures of Tufts Dining. And the rest? Well, they just want rice.

Mikhail Gorbachev was elected as the eighth general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union on March 11, 1985. This was a pivotal moment for the USSR, as the new leader set his sights on reform and strengthening ties with the United States. In just six years, the Soviet Union collapsed. But perhaps just as significant is what happened on Sept. 17, 1985. Somewhere in Moscow, Alexander “Ovi” Ovechkin was born. Nobody knew it yet, but he would go on to become one of hockey’s all-time greats.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo is ablaze once again, and like many times prior, it is Rwanda and their network of Tutsi militants at the helm of this chaos. The history between the Congo and Rwanda has long been fraught with some of the most destructive violence since World War II, and the recent offensives spearheaded by the March 23 Movement militia and their sponsors, the Rwandan Defense Force, in the eastern reaches of the Congo are clear indicators that the region may be entering yet another horrific period of conflict.

When “Anora” (2024) director Sean Baker took the stage to accept the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2024, he had a message to send — an urgent message. “Right now, as filmmakers, we have to fight to keep cinema alive. This means making feature films intended for theatrical exhibition,” Baker said in his acceptance speech. “The future of cinema [is] where it started: in a movie theater.”

Spring break is over. A new moon is approaching. Mercury is in retrograde. All signs that a new cycle is about to begin again — and it won’t be a good one. I think. Maybe? I’m a novice when it comes to spirituality and astrology. I enjoy a good tarot reading, and I can be extremely superstitious at times. Yet, I’ve never read up on any of these topics — or even realized I could purchase a book to explain why you can’t trust a Gemini rising — until I wandered into Seven Stars in Central Square. The store is just a short walk from the MBTA stop; it offers books, crystals and everything one could ever want to know about New Age movements.
