The upcoming ballot measure on voter identification is not just unnecessary—it’s a calculated attempt to further marginalize vulnerable populations and create additional barriers to voting.
Wisconsin has a chance to send a message to those causing all the angst and pain that is visiting the American people.
Is it just me, or do Democrats seemingly scream “constitutional crisis” whenever a Republican is president?
One of the creative and intelligent designs (among others) that the Founding Fathers placed into the Constitution was local control over elections. It was almost as if they had a portal to look into the future and see how election interference by a nefarious politician could undermine our nation.
For generations, the women of rural America did the work of men and drove social progress. Losing that worsens divisions and endangers food.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, take up the race to lead the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction between incumbent Jill Underly and education consultant Brittany Kinser. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
Judges are trying to block the will of the majority of us who voted for President Donald Trump.
We are well on our way to becoming a nation of feudal serfs to Elon Musk.

Wisconsin’s opportunity to connect power faster
Voter ID remains a top issue of concern for many Wisconsinites. In 2014 the Wisconsin Supreme Court upheld voter ID in two separate cases, Milwaukee Branch of the NAACP v. Walker and League of Women Voters of Wisconsin Education Network, Inc. v. Walker. If another voter ID case is brought, the current majority could reverse these precedents just like it did Priorities USA and Clark.
A YES vote will ensure that a valid photo ID must be used when voting in all future elections.
Billionaires want to change that.
The charges that pro-Palestine activism like Mahmoud Khalil’s have anything to do with antisemitism are incorrect, particularly in comparison to the white nationalism emanating from White House.
If you missed it the first time around — and unless you’re among the roughly 90,000 American over 100, that would be you — it’s worth noting that the economic, political and cultural landscape of the 2020s recalls a remarkably similar period precisely one century earlier.
To defeat autocracy and these systemic obstacles, Democrats must go on the offensive. This means mass mobilization, using all nonviolent tools available, including demonstrations, rallies, strikes and elections.
