Hostile Times for Journalists Nationwide
Since the Trump Administration returned for a second term, student journalists across the country have been fearful for their safety as their Constitutional freedoms of free speech and free press are being stripped away before their very eyes. Barely a month into his second term, Trump attempted to limit which publications could question him during news conferences. This administration’s intentions are clear: destroying the democracy this country has worked so hard to create for its citizens.
Letter to the Editor: The Case for a Cantonese Instructor at Chinatown Campus
Cantonese classes at the Chinatown campus are about more than just language instruction. They build bridges across cultures and generations while honoring the community that still lives in San Francisco’s Chinatown. That’s why our community leaders, alumni, and students continue to advocate for an additional Cantonese instructor at the Chinatown campus.
Delivery Apps Are Contributing to Our Loneliness Epidemic
Services like Amazon Fresh and DoorDash contribute to an environment of near instantaneous demand satisfaction devoid of the pesky social interactions typically involved with a trip to the grocery store or local restaurant. By the time you open your front door to grab that bag of C & H Pure Cane Granulated White Sugar, you might just catch a glimpse of the individual who fulfilled your request hustling back to their car to complete another order. The convenience is unparalleled, but at what cost?
Letter to the Editor: Lack of Accountability Within SF’s Skate Community
The skate community acts as a fraternity. I have nothing against the friendships and community created through shared interests among boys and young men. However, it’s mostly boys raising boys who grow up to be man children; thus creating a lack of accountability.
La Doña Mural in the Mission Exemplifies Resilience of Latinx Community
La Doña and her mural remind us now more than ever of the importance of staying true to our values. Amidst recent political attacks on vulnerable communities, La Doña’s intersectional activism shows the resilience of San Francisco, the Mission, and the Latinx community.
Great Highway Closure Sparks Opposition From Residents
Many residents of the Mission were drawn to the idea of more public space and pointed to the fact that they would occasionally benefit from the closure of the Highway. Hence, many show support for the ordinance without recognizing the latent drawbacks on the local community. While the whole city had a say on Proposition K, the consequences of it fall entirely on the west side of the city, clearly against it.
San Jose-based Experimental Rock Group ‘Xiu Xiu’ Drops Latest Album
Since “Knife Play,” each of Xiu Xiu’s fourteen albums has created a new sound and narrative, and “13-inch Frank Beltrame Italian Stiletto with Bison Horn Grips” isn’t anywhere close to “Knife Play” in terms of storytelling. It’s a new sound entirely, different from any of the subsequent albums released since 2002, and the sound that it creates is varied and fascinating.
SF Residents Disappointed Over New India Basin Waterfront Park
The $200 million project began in 2021 and sought to combine this area with the existing adjacent India Basin Shoreline Park. The park is now home to a food pavilion, a makers’ shop, and an operations and maintenance building. However, San Francisco residents feel this is a waste of funding, considering the limited amount of space available to park visitors.
An Ode to My City by the Bay
So many movies and television shows have been filmed in San Francisco, with one of my favorites being “The Last Black Man in San Francisco.” A quote from that movie that resonated with me when talking about the city was, “You don’t get to hate it unless you love it.” That perfectly sums up my feelings for the dazzling city I call home, and my feelings towards those who only see the city for how it is portrayed through media outlets.
California Highway Patrol Break Up a Peaceful Protest and a Wheelchair
Since the death of George Floyd, many including students have taken to the streets to protest the use of excessive force by police in America. Bay Area students have a long history of protest, notably the Third World Liberation Strikes of 1968, which fought for more inclusion and diversity on the campuses of San Francisco State and UC Berkeley.
