Human Rights March
Sunday, November 24, 2024 on the sidewalk around the 400 block was the place where everyone came together and let the world know we WON'T BE SILENT! About 50 people were in attendance.
It was a place to fight for women's rights, BIPOC rights, reproductive rights, LQBTQIA+ rights, disability rights, protecting our earth, immigrant rights, education, equality and equity. It was place to fight against Project 2025 and place to fight for human rights!

News from the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Coalition
Sometimes you have to reach across the aisle. While the only things Rep. Donna Rozar and I have in common are her work on this bill and our dislike of John Spiros, (she doesn’t like public unions, and she is prolife) she was a very kind and gracious person. I had the privilege of giving this award to her today in honor of and in memory of Gail Zeamer, who was so instrumental in starting the work of AB117/SB121. Representative Rozar did do a great job of parrying with the insurance lobbyists in the Assembly Health Committee. In January an amendment was added to remove ...
A Basket of Goodies
Wisconsin U.S. Congressman Glenn Grothman recently claimed our country should go back to 1960. He says this was a time when men still felt they had a purpose in life. Men, he contends, lost this sense of purpose during the mid-1960's into the 1970's when women were given what he calls "a basket of goodies."
It is true that in the mid 60's, many opportunities began opening up for women, but Mr. Grothman overlooks the benefits countless men began to share and appreciate during and after this time.
When laws and labor force demands encouraged more women to get ...

Academic AND Vocational Education
Sidetracking traditional education and leaning into vocational training at an early age will only exacerbate cultural division in the U.S. Much of what currently upsets under-educated Americans is that they do not understand much of what they have to deal with on a daily basis. It’s not news that people fear the unknown.
The anti-vaxxers are a perfect example—people who know nothing about viruses or how they function in the human body or how vaccines work to provide a level of immunity. So there’s all this pressure from the educated (scientists, doctors) and ...
THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF OFFENSE
With almost unanimous bipartisan support, the U.S. Congress now spends nearly a trillion dollars a year – repeat that – a trillion dollars a year, on the Department of Defense. If one includes the Department of Homeland Security and the care of disabled veterans, it is actually more than a trillion. This represents the lion’s portion of the U.S. discretionary budget.
What this “defense” budget means in real terms is that all of the physical resources, all of the knowledge, all of the science and engineering, all of the development, all of the jobs, that ...
