Across the country there are stories about “school lunch debt,” a heinous sentence that should give every person a great deal of shame. Children denied lunch because of a $9 debt. There is a wealth of mental health stress that we inflict on children in the name of lunch “fiscal responsibility”.

Kooyenga is no stranger to supporting Zionism. In 2017, he and Leah Vukmir worked to pass legislation to prevent Wisconsin from supporting boycott, divest, and sanction (BDS) policies, making it illegal for an institution like UWM to divest from Israeli economic interests (that thing all those rad people occupied the campus for.).

It is utterly naive to believe that the police, capitalists, and mad scientists are developing all this expensive technology to only go after a tiny fraction of dangerous people. Facial Recognition Technology and drones will quickly shift from targeting the scariest people to the most ordinary.

Pre-emptive compliance is the #1 way to cede power to fascism. The Common Council needs to act. Pass an ordinance, and if the fascists object? Take it to court. Fight back, you cowards.

This program has been going on for a year now, and the results are as positive as one would expect… We need to banish the idea of “deserving poor” from our vocabulary. No one has to ‘earn’ the right to a dignified life.

The Right can not allow a state to pass a policy like this, and to then become a success story. If policies from the left jump through all of the arbitrary hoops that our country has intentionally constructed to uphold business interests, and then go on to be popular, all of the sudden the people in Wyoming might also want them.

The Republicans clearly should get whooped next fall. Unfortunately, at the same time they spectacularly and desperately fall apart, Democrats are quietly fizzling. Nationally, they  somehow have even lower approval ratings. The Democratic establishment might be the only people unpopular and inept enough to blow this chance.

To Sara Rodriguez, what will you do differently than our current Governor? Using obstruction as an excuse for not accomplishing more progressive wins won’t cut it. This question needs to be asked of every single candidate in the race for governor, and if Democratic messaging tries to tell us that things are going great in Wisconsin already, they need to be laughed at.

The only thing Tony Evers seems to care about is his brand as a folksy bipartisan compromiser, but under his aw shucks facade, this governor is making morally depraved choices with dire consequences in people’s lives.
