So I just heard that Fitzgerald and crew took all of 30 seconds to shoot down taking immediate actio

on police accountability act, which is what the Bucks asked for when they did not play. The Bucks did the right thing, Governor Evers did the right thing by calling a special session, and then once again the Republicans did the wrong thing. I really dislike Wisconsin Republicans.

There is a lot in the mix: poor diet, pollution, poor upbringing, pharmaceuticals, poor education, poor health care, then the Cons smother the masses in authoritarian fear mongering and it works. Educated people, from early on, taught logic and independent thinking don't fall so easily for this crap. Cons hate that! That is why, once proudly Progressive, WI was targeted for destruction.

invalidate the will of the people. We have one in our city, the female mayor and two female city council members were just faced with a successful recall petition. Now they have to go through a vote of the people. The got people to sign their petitions by singling out elderly people and scaring them with "defunding the police". The keep saying they are going to "take back their city from the progressive fringe". We will see how it goes once the petitions are validated, there are some questions about the validity of some of the signatures. It was funded by a big developer who did not get his way a few months ago.
