TAHRIR Coalition organizes campus-wide strike for Palestine

As part of a nationwide strike for Gaza Monday, the TAHRIR Coalition, a multicultural coalition of more than 90 U-M student organizations, organized a strike on campus.

The Hater B-Side

Hating inspires many emotions — such as rage, disgust and glee — and can cathartically release any bottled-up feelings, inspire personal growth and bring people together. Have you hate-watched a movie with friends or laughed at your friend’s latest favorite Arctic Monkey songs? If so, this B-Side — encompassing topics such as “Victorious”, villains and pretentious film bros — might be the one for you.
