Our region has many people deeply invested in such noble work, people whose passion and ideas come alive in Evjue grant applications, people who are doing more than watching cable news.
As Jennifer Rubin points out, it’s not polarization, it’s Republican radicalization.
Uncritical acceptance of the mythical skills gap has placed higher education in a permanent state of political weakness.
Thankfully, our family is safe. Yet that is all the more reason to pray for the grieving families of those killed and others who were seriously injured by the force of the driver’s vehicle.
The call to remove or impeach Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm is growing louder, led by Republican gubernatorial candidate Rebecca Kleefisch and others.
Republicans are going to use accused killer Darrell Brooks like a hammer.
Prayers for healing and ‘an end to the violence that seems to be all around us.’
From the mass shooting at Miller brewing in Feb. 2020 to the pandemic to the unimaginable tragedy at the Waukesha Christmas Parade, this community has endured so much these last two years.
Under his direction, criminals like Darrell Brooks, Jr. have routinely been given shockingly low bail and sweetheart plea agreements or never prosecuted at all. The horror in Waukesha is just now drawing national attention to it, but the Milwaukee area has been living—and dying—for 15 years with the unmitigated disaster of John Chisholm’s making.
If you don’t like the result — and I don’t — then the answer is to change the law, not to throw out or defame our system of justice.
At a recent campaign event, Gov. Tony Evers took a premature victory lap on his 2018 campaign promise to “fix the damn roads.”
That means rolling back expanded aid.
Just 10 months after the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, right-wing Republicans are talking openly that the use of force is justifiable to oppose those who wouldn’t overturn the 2020 election.
Abandoning NR-151 recommendations a step backward for Wisconsin.
When a person is mowing down our children and grandmothers at a Christmas parade, I want the whole world to stop and take stock of what is happening.
One thing appears perfectly clear: Five people wouldn’t be dead and dozens more injured today had someone shut down Milwaukee County’s revolving door of criminal justice.
From the moment Kyle Rittenhouse heeded the call to “take up arms” against peaceful protestors last year to his acquittal in the courtroom Friday, this case has been a long and unrelenting exercise in the power of white privilege and the racism inherent in the American system of justice.
It’s perfectly appropriate to object to the verdict in the Rittenhouse trial.
Had the National Guard been called into Kenosha last year, the entire incident could have been avoided.
Self defense laws and lack of gun control at issue. Is reform possible?
