The big fear is that accurate representations of racial history in this nation will lead to overturning a social order based on historic racism.
The work is hard, the pay poor. Biden’s American Jobs Plan could help.
Gov. Tony Evers and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation are reviving the Scott Walker-era proposal to add lanes to Interstate 94 in the city of Milwaukee.
Democrats are growing anxious over their stalled agenda. There’s actually a lot they can still accomplish.

At this crucial moment for this project — and for infrastructure in America, more broadly — what do highway expansion opponents in Milwaukee and Wisconsin have to say?
A decades-old pipeline called Line 3, run by the Canadian company Enbridge, is in the midst of a controversial upgrade. That has sparked fierce resistance from Indigenous communities living along the route.
While portions of riot-ravaged Kenosha were still smoldering, Gov. Tony Evers’ health czar fired off an agency-wide email on “Advancing Equity” at the Department of Health Services.
