For the past few weeks, Israel has intensified a provocative campaign of oppression and ethnic cleansing against Palestinians, focused largely but not exclusively on occupied East Jerusalem.
Why legislating American patriotism is a slippery slope.
A recent survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation Vaccine Monitor found that many parents are showing reluctance to vaccinate their adolescent children.
When the federal government said Wisconsin would get $700 million less in ARPA aid than expected, Governor Evers called the change “problematic.” Evers failed to mention the enormous amount of COVID-19 aid Wisconsin has already received and how well our state savings and economy have recovered.
In what is becoming a theme this spring at public schools across the state, the Poynette School Board warned residents who refused to wear masks at Tuesday’s meeting that they would be forcibly removed by a local police officer.

Dave Mahoney set a new standard during the 14-plus years he commanded the department.
Toney used his law degree, government salary and authority to serve as Tony Evers’ handmaid by prosecuting small business owners who were just trying to survive. It’s sad. It’s despicable. It’s disqualifying.
Under the People’s Voice Act, people would be allowed to petition their government to give a bill a public hearing.
We agree with Governor Tony Evers that children, regardless of their zip code, should have access to a quality education. Unfortunately, Evers’ policies do not match his rhetoric.
Like Robert M. La Follette, he is prepared to call out U.S. allies, and to object to U.S. policies that fail to uphold the human rights of all peoples.
