This is why!!

Thank you Alexander Cole, biologist in Superior who was fired because of the letter he signed on to with other EPA scientists resisting the politicization of that agency by the Trump administration.

I’m a citizen of WI, appreciate that he risked his job by standing up for science.

Republican mega-donors asked their employees who they will vote for in survey Staunchly pro-Trump Uihleins gave anonymous survey to workers at Uline, headquartered in swing state of Wisconsin

Want to do something? If you are a business, or even if you order supplies like boxes, bags, etc....stop ordering from Uline. They are a Wisconsin-based business, but they are major donors to our current president and company.
Please order supplies elsewhere.

Any of these? Say as much as you can. My hope is slipping.

Letter | Ernst's callous Medicaid remark reveals more than intended Dear Editor: U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, may have revealed more than she intended when she brushed off concerns about Medicaid cuts with the remark, “We’re all going to die.”

A succinct, elegant, and powerful message about WHY defunding Medicaid will crumble our country.

@ashdashlee.bsky.social please shout out the Roseville, MI crew who organized a #NoKings event in my hometown - so much caring, community, and support for this last minute event. It’s a purple town outside Detroit. My sister and I stood together with the veterans, seniors, queers…everyone!
