…This past November, voters in the U.S. made history by electing not one, but two incredible Muslim women into our 116th House of Representatives. They are Ilhan Omar, a Black, Somali Immigrant from Minnesota’s 5th Congressional district who frequently and unabashedly calls out deeply problematic white men in power, and Rashida Tlaib, an incredible Palestinian-American woman who coined the phrase “Impeach the Motherf*cker” o...…
…C oming out of the Iowa caucus victorious, Democratic candidate and Mayor of South Bend, Ind., Pete Buttigieg has seen a recent surge in popularity. Because he is the first openly gay person to make a serious bid for the presidency, Buttigieg’s success is undoubtedly a big moment for LGBTQ+ Americans, especially in a state like Iowa that voted for Donald Trump four years ago. However, that hasn’t made him the community’s c...…
…The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com Arts Monday, February 17, 2020 — 5A Anne Carson can come across as a writer with no clear lineage or influences — even as she references the work of other authors, her poetry and prose seem to float relatively free of clear affiliation to any contemporary literary trend. Her career as a classicist (with a generalist’s flair: she’s written about film and modernism extensively) might ...…

… What started as an average loose ball became anything but. Jon Teske might’ve just missed a point-blank layup attempt, but he wasn’t going to give up on the play. As the rebound evaded the grasp of the Hoosiers, the senior center dove on it and had the wherewithal to find Franz Wagner alone under the basket for two. Teske’s effort, apart from send- ing the Crisler Center crowd into an uproar, capped off an offensive onslaught th...…
…2B — February 17, 2020 SportsMonday The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com In 2017, just after Mel Pearson was hired as the Michigan hockey coach, he went to Red Berenson’s house and had what he called the best conversation of his life. The two sat on the deck in Beren- son’s backyard and talked for two hours, about anything and everything. It was a beauti- ful night, Pearson recalled, and they sipped drinks. A weight appeared to be ...…
