This mining bill "fast tracks" permits for an out of state corporation, Gogebic Taconite, to develop a vast open pit iron mine on land that abuts Ojibwe land. The proposed s...

The Recall Van will ride Milwaukee neighborhoods this Saturday... reminding people that we are against Scott Walker - not as a person - but as an extremist ideologue who has consistently governed to line the nests his fatcat patrons, while showing absolute disregard for everyone else. True leadership is earned and collaborative, not imposed and autocratic.

Keep up the faith in 2012... we'll find balance amidst the hatred.

Bob had set up in an empty school parking lot and was attending to a signee. A man in a truck, a local business owner named Carl Sosnoski, came up and threate...

Walker's supporters say a lot about who Walker really is. These are some seriously damaged people.

Though I had never met Mary before, I messaged her when I saw that some rightwing Walker support groups had published her home address and phone number on Facebook. She was a Facebook "friend" through activist channels, so I figured I would let her know her info was made public. She already knew. Th...

The Playground Legends says that this violence and intimidation has to stop. Recall is a constitutionally decreed law of the land. There is nothing wrong with it, no matter what the "recallees" say. We need to enforce civility and rule of law.

Last Friday night in Racine there were some folks near a laundromat out collecting recall signatures. Someone floored their car, speeding towards the group, causing them to scatter or be hit. On Saturday night, a driver tried to back his vehicle into a different group. Both of these tales of reckles...
