In the wake of yesterday’s SCOTUS decision overturning Roe v. Wade, that now allows the states to determine abortion rights in America, at least a half dozen national companies have publicly stated that they will pay to send their employees to states where abortions are legal. Silly feel good PR…

This despicable bit of anti-Semitic (and anti-abortion) rhetoric was chalked on the sidewalk in Milwaukee County’s Humboldt Park, a very popular anchor park in Milwaukee’s Bay View neighborhood. This bit of sidewalk is just in front of the children’s play area with the swings and slides. The most popular area…

I was working on another post when this popped up in my news feed: U.S. Rep. Steve King: If not for rape and incest, ‘would there be any population left?‘ You really can’t make this stuff up! Jeez: Rep. Steve King told an Iowa crowd Wednesday that humanity might not exist…

Trump later backtracked…

During a recent interview with Laura Ingraham, Republican presidential candidate Scott Walker did a complete reversal on abortion, telling Ingraham that he doesn’t believe the final decision on whether a woman should have an abortion should be between the woman and her doctor. Ingraham responded: “But you don’t believe —…

While folks are understandably upset about all the awful things in the 2015-17 biennial state budget Republicans in the Legislature have forwarded to Gov. Scott Walker for his signature, there’s still a lot of awful policy being being implemented by Republicans in the Legislature. Wisconsin Republicans moved within a step…
