What are your #Slogans4Hillary?

Twitter hasn’t really been a boon of positive hashtags for the Hillary Clinton campaign. But that doesn’t mean they’re not hilarious, right? Whether you’re #WithHer or not, check out Twitter’s #Slogans4Hillary:

80 Percent of Aquatic Venues in Five US States Failed Health Inspections, CDC Says

Gross! No big surprise that this has been trending for the past couple days. Summer is coming up and all I daydream about is being able to relax by the community pool in shades and a ‘kini. Sadly, a recent report by the Center for Disease Control has found that nearly one out of every eight public aquatic venues in Arizona, Texas, New York, California, and Florida have serious safety violations–so serious some venues have been closed. And at eight out of 10 facilities, at least one violation was found. These violations can range from risk of waterborne illness, to drowning, and even chemical burns! Needless to say, it’s not a good year to be that friend with a pool.

Bill Cosby Will Stand Trial

Things are not looking good for Bill Cosby. Today, he is in court for his first criminal pretrial hearing and is facing three counts of indecent assault from a 2004 case involving Andrea Constand, a former employee at his alma mater, Temple University. Cosby fans are still reeling from the initial allegations and refuse to believe them, while others hope he’ll serve serious time. It should also be interesting to see the role the media plays in the heavily-covered trials.

Former Miss Universe Opens Up About Trump’s Body Shaming

Alicia Machado, the 1996 Miss Universe Winner, says Donald Trump, who owned the pageant company until last year, called her degrading names mocking her body image and Latina heritage. Rude!

Machado told UniVision that Trump called her “Miss Piggy” and “Miss Housekeeping.” These claims shouldn’t be hard to believe, given Trump’s penchant for nicknames.

Edward Snowden Calls for Overhaul of Whistleblower Protections

These calls come after a new source from inside the Pentagon released an account of how the system makes it impossible for personnel to expose wrongdoing in the government. According to the source, it has essentially become a trap. Snowden has stepped up to corroborate this claim, saying that leaking information to the press is the only way to make a difference. “There are no incentives for people to stand up against an agency on the wrong side of the law today, and that’s got to change.”

I love my country, but I hate this. https://t.co/zmxXYymS9O

It’s no secret that law school students are constantly looking for ways to stand out from the crowd. At the end of the day connections, location, and experience matter big time. One city that has all three of those features is Boston–and it’s an incredibly fun city as well. Check out the top 10 reasons to consider spending your summer in Boston.

Millennial Paradise

Boston is home to the highest proportion Millennials of any major U.S. city. People ages 20-34 make up more than 1/3 of Boston’s population–and nearby Cambridge and Somerville are even more dominated by Millennials. Cambridge’s share of the population between 20-34 is 44.5 percent; Somerville clocks in at 44 percent.

Both Boston and Cambridge are ranked by Niche.com as the best cities for Millennials–Boston clocks in at number nine, while Cambridge is first on the list. Niche looked at the things that matter like “access to bars, restaurants, affordability, and job opportunities, in an attempt to holistically measure how good an area is for a Millennial to live.”

Boston University School of Law

Boston University School of Law is a top-tier law school with a faculty recognized nationally for exceptional teaching and preeminent scholarship. At BU Law, you can explore virtually any area of the law in 200+ classes and seminars, 21 clinics, externships, and practicums, 21 foreign study opportunities, and 17 dual degrees.
