The Defiance of Survival
Dear Dartmouth,
Borikén, or the island more commonly known as Puerto Rico, has been a colony for 528 years. The island has been under the control of the Imperial forces of both Spain and the Unites States and it has created unique geographies…
Why Centrism Doesn’t Work
Dear Dartmouth,
Biden’s historic win during the November presidential election was a bittersweet one. The morning that election was called, my parents shook me awake at 8:45AM to show me that Pennsylvania and Georgia had both flipped to blue that night…

A Blue Dividing Line
Dear Dartmouth,
Seven and a half miles north of my house, the St. Joseph River flows placid into sparkling Lake Michigan. The river spills its brown entrails into the otherwise blue, surprisingly Caribbean presence of the second largest Great Lake (by volume). The beaches which line each side of the river are windswept and ideal…
