Spend a few moments on any social media, news source or Substack and you will likely come across numerous outlandish, ignorant or misguided yet entertaining opinions shared for all the world to see.

Every American who cares about the rule of law ought to support abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This means defunding, dismantling, investigating and prosecuting ICE from top to bottom. The agency is so morally corroded that there is no appropriate remedy but to abolish it. The agency ...
Many people in relationships quietly ask themselves the same question: How responsible am I for my partner’s mental health? We’re taught that good partners are endlessly patient, emotionally available and willing to make sacrifices. The dominant narrative says if someone you love is struggling, ...
Stepping out of my dorm on Dec. 14, I was met by five of my friends gathered outside the room of Ella Cook ’28. Flowers lay next to the door and tears streamed down our faces.

Today’s paper marks The Brown Daily Herald’s first print issue since we lost two cherished members of our community, Ella Cook ’28 and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov ’29. This is also our first print edition as the 136th Editorial Board.
After the murder of two of our classmates, Ella Cook ’28 and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov ’29, and the injury of nine others, Brunonians rushed to leave campus. Just over one month later, as we return to College Hill, the University we love is not the same without Umurzokov and Cook. This semester will ...
The first day of the spring semester on College Hill was an unsettling one. After the shooting that took the lives of two of our classmates and injured nine others, most of the Brown community promptly fled campus. We were left scattered across the world, away from the site of some of our fondest, and ...
In December 2006, I finished my last semester as a student at Brown and made a career choice that made me unpopular on campus: I went to work for the University’s Department of Public Safety. Overnight, longtime friends became distant, and the group of alums I’d planned to live with pulled their ...
On Saturday, two Brunonians were killed. Nine others were hospitalized. Although there are no words that can heal our community’s immense grief, we send endless love to the families and friends of those lost and wish the students still recovering a swift return to good health.
There are many perfectly reasonable fixations at Brown: The campus turkey that always shows up just in time for finals, the endless supply of sugary cereal, the wildly cool professor who you are convinced might just be the smartest person in the world.
The weekend before our first night of production as the new editorial board, we took it upon ourselves to usher in a slate of new changes — rearranging dusty couches and furniture, installing our neon “135” sign and adorning the walls of 88 Benevolent St. with a collection of freshly printed photos. ...
The Herald is proud to announce the members of its 136th Editorial Board, which will oversee the paper through its 135th year.
Last week, Brunonians traveled far and wide to observe Thanksgiving, a holiday celebrating family, food and gratitude.

While testifying before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that “no one has died” because of funding cuts to the United States Agency for International Development, a claim that the Trump White House has continuously pushed to defend its overhaul of American ...

As the next generation of Brunonians walks through the Van Wickle Gates, these students may be left wondering how they ended up on College Hill. But that’s not a question any of us can completely answer. The journey an application takes from the Common Application portal to an acceptance letter is ...
Almost every weekend, I walk past groups of friends snapping photos together before a night out, taking bursts of nearly identical shots. I often find myself in the same situation, posing for hundreds of pictures for the perfect Instagram post. You then overanalyze each photo, trying to find one that ...
As soon as meal times approach, hoards of students can be found across campus munching on Ivy Room salmon bowls, grabbing a Blue Room salad or slurping pho from Andrews Commons. All of these dining options have one thing in common: They are served with a side of plastic silverware. Every day, Brown ...
