It’s time to do what must be done to protect Wisconsin’s kids from online sexual exploitation. All Wisconsinites should urge Gov. Tony Evers to sign Assembly Bill 105 into law without delay.
Sen. Mark Spreitzer and Rep. Clinton Anderson, both Beloit Democrats, are introducing legislation that would allow local communities to set residency requirements for the highest-ranking appointed individuals.
Local leaders need to create a plan to incorporate a SEED School, which adopt a boarding school model for at-risk youths.
If you can’t name a road after the martyred most influential Christian evangelist and conservative political influencer of this century in the most conservative county in Wisconsin, it’s a fair bet you won’t be able to do it anywhere.
Racist leadership practices return to the military
It is a clear attack on the public’s right to know. We all suffer when truth‑seekers are punished for exposing corruption, documenting conflict, or giving voice to those who would otherwise be unheard. Silencing a reporter is an attempt to blind the world.
April Fool’s is a good day to review Donald Trump’s campaign promises to the American people. Suffice it to say that he took a lot of us for fools.
The war with Iran, which has metastasized into a deadly regional conflict with daunting international economic implications since Trump launched it in late February, became a vital theme of No Kings Day rallies in Minnesota and nationwide.
There was a new dimension to the anti-Trump protest Saturday that drew a record turnout of an estimated 1,600 citizens to the grounds of the Washington County Courthouse. It was opposition to his new war against Iran.
I’m tired of the snap judgments that fall so much harder on women, especially conservative women. We don’t really know what went down in Kristi’s marriage and, frankly, it’s hard to see how it’s any of our business, as weird as it all is. Leave Kristi alone. She has enough to deal with.
All of ATC’s customers, Wisconsin households and businesses, started paying for a project the day construction began, eighteen months before the facility opens.
Wisconsin lawmakers just advanced two major bills related to the SNAP program; one was signed by the governor, and the other just passed the Assembly.
Hong is the beating heart of the pro-Palestine, “reimagine policing,” social justice warriors here in Wisconsin. The huddled masses yearning for more free stuff support legislation like her Assembly Bill 370. It required prisons and jails to allow inmates to get and give a 20-second hug.
There is palpable anger afoot in this nation. Not violent fist-a-cuff anger. But rather a determined, reasoned, and righteous commitment against the destruction of our national norms and the constitutional guardrails that govern this land.
The Chicano Movement was our Civil Rights Movement and we cannot stand by and watch it be erased by the actions of one man, no matter how much he contributed to it.
Will the league stand by inclusion efforts?
There were some surprises along the way.
In a session otherwise defined by circular firing squads, three Republican legislators did something rare in Wisconsin politics. They led.
Wisconsin is sitting on a significant state budget surplus. Investing these resources into special education services would provide real relief while ensuring schools have the resources needed to serve all students. A more balanced approach to school funding, including a new approach to general aid disbursements, is necessary.
It is up to us as adults to put young people in an environment where they can be successful. And when we do that, these kids respond positively. When provided an equal level of expectations and a positive environment, Black students can perform just as well as their white counterparts.
