I was taught to never be silent in the face of injustice. That remains the lesson of the Holocaust.

Underly’s game of chicken with President Trump may earn applause from progressive activists, but it’s reckless.

Phoebe Petrovic: Wisconsin’s name-change law raises safety risks for transgender people
A 167-year-old statute requires trans people to publish their old and new names in a newspaper, worrying families and advocates as President Donald Trump attacks transgender rights.

Sara Rodriguez: On Earth Day, let’s focus on the work we have to do
Earth Day offers us a chance to celebrate the planet we call home and recommit to leaving a better world for generations to come.

‘At this moment, when everyone feels so hopeless … we can do something.’

Gregory Humphrey: Baldwin speaks to the gravity of the moment
When I read the letters I received from Senator Tammy Baldwin following my contacts with her office, it really struck me that each topic was of substantial weight, and any one of the issues if not handled properly could resign our nation to great loss both in terms of Constitutional safeguards, economic strength, and in one case, great harm to members of our military.

Kristin Brey: I wasn’t expecting emotional reaction to Pope Francis’ death. Yet it was there.

Jodi Jean Amble: If AI is the future, we need to power it with the clean energy of the future
Wisconsin can either cling to an outdated energy model built on pollution, price volatility, and energy dollars sent out of state, or we can invest in a clean, resilient future powered by homegrown energy.

Chelsea Chandler: On this Earth Day, stand up for our environment by saying ‘yes’

Ashanti Hamilton: Earth Day every day: Investing in Milwaukee’s water, workforce, and future
Milwaukee’s story is one of resilience and reinvention. From the Ecofactory’s clean energy innovations to workforce programs rooted in equity, this city continues to show how environmental progress and economic opportunity can go hand in hand. Earth Day reminds us of what’s at stake – but Milwaukee reminds us of what’s possible.

Clean Water Now referendums in 2021 and 2022 showed strong, nonpartisan success when voters were directly asked on their ballots how much they care about Wisconsin’s water.

Dave Cieslewicz: How environmentalists have gone astray
