Eyeing Voting Rights, Liberals Aim to Secure Wisconsin’s Supreme Court through 2030 - Bolts After flipping the court in 2023, Wisconsin liberals now hope to expand their majority on a body that could be a critical backstop for voting rights during the next presidential election.

NEW: Believe it or not, it’s that time of year: the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is next month.

Liberals have a huge opportunity: if they win, they can lock down the majority of this court thru 2030.

That means they’d have it in the next presidential race, a big democracy guardrail.

How black slaves were routinely sold as ‘specimens’ to ambitious white doctors The horrors of slavery also spread to research: black bodies provided easy targets for medical experiments.

A new California bill aims to ban paraquat. Yep, that toxic stuff is still around. Banned by 60 countries, the herbicide behind a 1970s marijuana scare persists in the US.

Syngenta just announced it's gonna stop producing paraquat, which I thought was a throwback to '70s Mexican weed before learning that US growers still use it. Syngenta, btw, was the subject of a wild story with one of my favorite headlines. See addendum to this post.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

Black-and-white photograph of Pauli Murray seated at a desk, smiling while writing on papers. Books, a lamp, and office materials surround her, with a cross visible in the background.

Pauli Murray saw injustice where others accepted it. She refused to shrink to fit someone else’s boundaries.

Lawyer and activist whose work shaped civil rights and gender equality law, including the legal foundation behind Brown v. Board of Education.

The show isn't shot live. It's filmed for 3 hours and then edited down. If it was a "mistake", or caused by his condition why not edited it out.? This was a choice to leave it in the two hour broadcast.

In the 1800s, a slave owner purchased over a dozen people in Georgia and set the foundation for his family’s generational wealth

Generations later, a railroad company owned by one of his descendants is using eminent domain to seize land of Black farmers

The forest is the system: Not the individual trees. Many people try to build resilience by making themselves bigger, stronger, more independent. They stockpile resources, they build higher walls, they try to go it alone. HOWEVER, We The People are stronger together. Unite!
