King’s 1967 speech is particularly relevant today.

Either unaware or forgetful of truths like what happened in Tulsa in 1921 or on the Virginia coast in the late 1600s, we collide with others we are conditioned to see as enemies but with whom we share so much in common socially, economically and politically. We are put at each other’s throats by ruling elites who seek to divide and conquer us to enrich themselves. Things never taught in school become mistakes repeated.

The courts should be a place for the people to seek justice. Democrats have treated them as a place to seize control, weaponizing the justice system to target their political opponents.

Voters will have a clear choice in November. Cooke is the real deal.

Conservatives embrace Dr. King’s dream of an America in which its citizens are neither advantaged, nor disadvantaged, based on race, and its laws no longer favor one group over another.

Today and every day, I feel inspired by Dr. King to live by his words and continue his actions toward a more equal, just, and unified world. We’ve got some work ahead of us, but you have my word that I will keep working hard for you, for your family, and for Wisconsin.

It’s too bad that people of color didn’t have zealous advocates of their equal rights during this nation’s historic past like white folks do today with the likes of the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty guarding their “liberties.”

Republican divisions between geographic areas, between Senate and Assembly on the bill.

Add in the same economic issue that has impacted businesses nationwide, a shortage of employees, and one can start to glimpse why more Amazon packages being delivered with one hand undercuts the prompt delivery of an electrical bill or letter from Uncle Glen on the other hand.

As we mark the third anniversary of the events that unfolded on Jan. 6, the political violence unleashed by the MAGA faction that day continues to reverberate in Wisconsin, and not just in election denial or efforts to derail holding insurrectionists accountable.

As 2023 came to a close, the legislature and University of Wisconsin System came to an agreement on a path forward that refocuses the UW’s priorities on our campuses to student success and achievement, ensures our best and brightest students remain in the state, and makes significant investments in building projects across Wisconsin’s universities.

AB 734 would not allow any person under 12 years old to play tackle football in any organized league. The reason: concessions. And before you ask, yes it’s a thing.

When you combine the pressure on media to chase audience given the apparently fleeting attention span of many readers with its tendency to engage in false equivalencies like coverage of Clinton’s emails to demonstrate evenhandedness in the face of “liberal bias” accusations, you have a prescription for more of the same this year.

Former President Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee in 2024. If President Biden is the nominee for the Democrats, the 45th president will become the 47th president of the United States.

Bills like the Kids Online Safety Act, or KOSA, raise serious concerns that would make the internet far less safe for both kids and adults.

As Madison continues to grow, though, the pressure to fell trees for wider roads, new apartment complexes and dozens of businesses and housing developments will intensify.

The new hope offered by the Supreme Court’s ruling will hopefully result in maps giving every voter confidence their values will be reflected in election outcomes. We are finally on the right path to end gerrymandering and begin returning Wisconsin values to the Legislature.

There is little doubt new maps will still result in Republican control. Liberal former Madison Mayor Dave Cieslewicz conceded that it is very likely Republicans will retain legislative control in a recent Isthmus column, and other analysis tells a similar story.
