Since Feb. 28, 2026, the United States and Israel have begun co-writing the next bloody chapter in the already overwhelmingly violent regional story of the Middle East. The nascent war in Iran was initiated through joint attacks targeting Iranian government officials, artillery and military assets, and elementary school children in a manner truly befitting U.S.-Israeli aggression.

Have you ever felt that you do not fit in, or that others have not accepted you?

Perceptions of zodiac signs differ from person to person, and it is something that is debated a lot in the media. Some of us take them completely seriously, some of us are totally against them, and some are indifferent on the topic. The Lamron e-board has been discussing zodiac signs recently and our feelings on them, sharing whether we feel our signs represent us, as well as if we judge others based on their sign.

While I’m sure almost everyone attending SUNY Geneseo has seen the college’s logo—the clock tower of Sturges Hall sitting above the year of the college’s founding and a highly stylized depiction of the Genesee Valley all enveloped by a shield—perhaps fewer have seen the college’s seal with as much frequency as the logo.

On Sunday, Mar. 8, I attended the Women’s March hosted by Peace Action Geneseo. It was fairly well attended; we looped around the Main Street area twice with our signs, shouting chants and waving to all those who honked when they passed by.

How often do you hear, in conversations about the college experience, “These are the best years of your life”? Well, I heavily disagree with this statement and I am here to tell you that it is okay if these are not the best years of your life. 

Last week (Feb. 23-Mar. 5) was National Eating Disorder Awareness week. We at The Lamron, in our desire to promote student wellness and address campus issues, thought it would be beneficial to discuss some of the key challenges we see on campus and identify essential resources for any students currently struggling with their eating habits. 

On Mar. 2, 2026, in a speech published by C-SPAN, President Trump announced that the United States military would continue to “carry out large scale combat operations in Iran to eliminate the great threats posed to America by this terrible terrorist regime.” He notified the public that Iran had “ignored” warnings given not to rebuild their nuclear program, and that soon, Iran would have missiles “capable of reaching our beautiful America.”

All Geneseo history majors are required to take classes in three subject areas: US history, European history, and LACAANA. You may find yourself wondering, “What exactly is LACAANA?” The answer? No one knows! No, I’m only kidding. However, even as a history major, I couldn’t remember all of the areas encompassed by this acronym. 

Ever since I “became a woman” at 13, I was quick to defend reproductive rights in the interest of my own safety and autonomy, as well as that of other girls and women; but I could never answer the essential question of why it was even necessary to do so in the first place and what exactly makes us so vulnerable to the incursion of these rights.

As February comes to an end, The Lamron e-board has been inspired to reflect on the many different cultural and religious traditions that all take place around the same time. While many of us are familiar with the extravagant celebrations of Mardi Gras, other traditions go overlooked.

The MacVittie College Union is at the physical center of campus, and thus the metaphor of this particular building being at the heart of campus is apt—but it is about more than a location.

On Feb. 18, the ninth and holiest month in the Islamic lunar calendar began, and with it the month-long period of fasting for Muslims across the world.

This past Tuesday, Feb. 17, viewers sat down, excited, anxious, and if you’re like me, a little scared to watch the series finale of Tell Me Lies (2022-2026). I think we were all shocked when showrunner Meaghan Oppenheimer posted to her Instagram, “After three amazing seasons of Tell Me Lies, tonight’s episode will be the series finale. This was always the ending my writing team and I had in mind, and we are insanely proud of it.” 

Gavin Newsom has recently become a bit of a household name. As we desperately look forward to another election with the ardent hope of someone new, speculation regarding the nominees for each party is inevitable

I have recently come to the unfortunate conclusion that we might be completely screwed. I do not want to be cynical or pessimistic; I do not want us to become discouraged to the point of inaction. But I do wonder how we could possibly move forward from where we are now—how we can reckon with the impact of Donald Trump on our institutions and our political (and moral) culture and values.

Working a customer service job, especially food service, is rough. However, those food service workers help our campus—and communities—run. College students basically survive on caffeine; we know our Starbucks workers are tired.

Last Wednesday, Feb. 11, the House of Representatives passed the “Safeguard American Voter Eligibility” or “SAVE” Act, an expansion of a previous (and less rigorous) SAVE Act introduced in 2024. Years of Trump’s election paranoia alleging widespread voter fraud have culminated in legislation proudly indulging the fantasy and turning congressional scrutiny against the people that gave them their jobs, rather than against a president who is constantly encroaching on their ability to perform them.

Lately, headlines have been dominated by concerning and vile news stories. While this news is severely important and action needs to be taken, it often seems that environmental news is left neglected by major news channels.
