Even when legislation is passed to address systemic racism, those intent on maintaining discrimination move the goal post. They look high and low for the loophole and intentionally misinterpret the law.

This war shows no sign of ending any time soon, and no sign that Ukraine can win, without a massive infusion of people, material, and cash from someone like us. There is no political will in America to spend American blood on this war.

Authoritarian socialists don’t see the irony in the positions they stake out.

Wisconsin Republicans have proposed legislation to help DACA recipients and expand EV charging stations, and the Senate majority leader has called for an end to the blockade on UW pay.

The unions’ lawsuit to overturn Wisconsin’s “Act 10” 2011 labor reforms isn’t primarily about money.

The solutions to ending nutrition insecurity start with community voice and are achieved with adaptive partners willing to innovate together.

Out-of-state investors now own 7,170 single family homes, condos, duplexes or triplexes across Milwaukee, an increase from 5,250 in late 2018 as reported in 2022.

Cry wolf. Two words, packed with instantly recognizable and unmistakable meaning. Two words, synonymous with the moral to a story as old as the hills.

U.S. didn’t stop fighting after Pearl Harbor, and Israel should also pursue “absolute victory.”

Trump’s lawyers are bizarrely trying to link me (yes, me) to January 6. It’s a sign that the former president’s case is less than airtight.

How do these ten who abused the very concept of free and fair elections face their grandkids when asked, “What did you do in the 2020 presidential elections?’”

Protasiewicz must recuse herself from anything resembling or close to Act 10 lawsuits. She’s made her opinions well known, and can’t possibly offer a neutral opinion after participating in protests and signing the recall.
