America touts a decorated record of defeating dictators, but unfortunately our nation is not immune to tyrants, and we now have one in our midst. This despot’s vast fortune and power must not deter us. This weekend, we must carry on the venerable American tradition of tormenting tyrants and register our displeasure with this clownish but fascistic overlord. It is unlikely we can drive him from power, but together we can make a statement.

In the spring of 2015, the Virginia men’s swimming and diving teams were not in a good place.
