Wisconsin needs criminal justice data collection and reporting legislation.
Instead of doing what we can to create a more equitable society, clueless politicians do all they can to make sure the less unfortunate among us stay that way.
The April 7 election is a constant reminder of what happens when the system breaks down or fails. We should never let that happen again.
The Evers administration has — for now — dropped its plan to publicly list the names of Wisconsin businesses with reported COVID-19 cases.
White people who are afraid of the truths exposed about racism in recent weeks and months as a result of the resurgence of expressions of Black Lives Matter have cleverly hidden from the conversations by claiming they are too “political.”
The Commissioner of Health talks about managing the city’s response to the pandemic, treating racism like the crisis it is, and about her full circle journey back to the Milwaukee Health Department.
The 40-year-old activist is one of seven people running for the district that includes almost all of Madison’s isthmus.
We’re all in this pandemic together. Please do your part.
The UW likely needs more financial support from the legislature. But that request would be more palatable after Thompson and the interim administration look at monetizing non-core UW financial asset list.
Wisconsin’s District II Court of Appeals on Friday issued a snap ruling staying a lower court’s temporary injunction against the city of Racine’s restrictive health orders.
If we want to exit this continual roundabout that COVID-19 has funneled us into, we have to take it slow, yield to others, and learn how to drive between the lines of fear and denial.
Four months into the epidemic, the problems caused by weak connections or no weak connections at all are even more pronounced in rural Wisconsin, where students faced barriers to online education, patients didn’t have access to telemedicine services, and businesses couldn’t reach customers no longer able to show up in person.
We must affirm the centrality, importance, relevance, and need for Black studies programs and departments at colleges and universities.
Milwaukee Congresswoman Gwen Moore is hoping that she can get Congress to award an all Black Women’s Army Corps unit known as the “Six Triple Eight” a Congressional Gold Medal for its overseas service during World War II.
Fire her! 20,000 people declared, after her Facebook post is misconstrued.
We are witnessing the urgency of seizing this moment and committing ourselves to creating a new system of education where a child’s race is not a predictor of success or failure in our schools. This predictability inherent in our current system means the system must change—we must change.
U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson was skewered by his fellow conservatives after he proposed a substitute amendment ostensibly crafted to swap Columbus Day for Juneteenth Day on the crowded list of federal holidays.
What is needed at a minimum is health care coverage for all Americans.
The solution to hyper-segregation in K-12, the MPS board now realizes aloud, must be regional — not just within its own public school system but by motivating a regional army.
We can reopen the economy if we just be smart. Why so many behave otherwise is a question I’m afraid future generations will be asking many years from now.
