I have half-joked for decades that one of the items on my bucket list is to be arrested for civil disobedience. The civil rights movement and the anti-war protests happened while I was safely ensconced in junior high and high school. I got to college in time to see one lone streaker torpedo across...

Update: Rally at 4:30pm Monday, not at 1pm, as previously announced! I don’t know about you but I’ve had enough. I’ve had enough of the venomous anti-woman agenda of the Republican party, the leadership of which is more concerned about proving to the right-wing extremists controlling their party that they’re really as anti-abortion as...

Yesterday the soon to be former governor visited the V.F.W. in Appleton to sign a bill that helps military veterans. Of course, he was met with a good sized “welcoming committee”.

Approximately 250 people assembled outside of Walker’s laughably named “Victory Center” in Fitchburg to give Mitt Romney some heck Saturday March 31st. Romney was visiting to do a few of his robocalls live and to stump for his presidential primary in Wisconsin. The protesters were a mix of people who held signs like “Keep...

The video will start where the parade footage kicks in. Almost everyone is familiar with how the original St. Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland, but how many people know that St. Patrick made a special visit to Fond du Lac last Saturday during their annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade? He came...

What are the odds that you’re going to just happen upon a cowbell vs. vuvuzuela competition? And what are the odds that at the same time you will just so happen to have a cowbell in hand? Right. But that happened yesterday for me. Just one of the moments of absurd noisy joy that...

From the Daily Kos blogger noise of rain comes another perfect post. It is so heartening for me to know that noise of rain and his impromptu teams are standing in the winter night somewhere in Wisconsin on any given weekend defying the Walker regime. “These are special times for all of us activists...

When Ellen Monahan Holly planned a “One Million Strong Rally” for Elkhorn weeks ago, she wasn’t thinking about Philip Jones. But a recent letter to the Elkhorn Independent by Jones made more of her friends in the recall fight weather the windchill with her. It reminds me of that classic protest sign, “Screw us and...

I’m surprised the following article on David Koch is not an even lighter piece of fluff, considering it comes from the Palm Beach Post Money section. The original title for the piece is “David Koch intends to cure cancer in his lifetime and remake American politics”. The author mentions the attack on public unions...

This is a post by Wisco Wherls which was first published on Daily Kos. I’m thrilled to have his permission to reprint it here. How often does an individual have the opportunity to pinpoint the exact moment at which their life was irrevocably changed? For myself, that moment came exactly one year ago...

As many of you are aware it’s been just over one year since soon to be former Governor Walker announced his “budget repair bill”.

I could just cry to see Wisconsin protests used by a corporation even for these few seconds in a Chrysler super bowl ad. The seconds of footage include scrubbed signs so you can’t make out what we were trying to say. The videographer who sold the footage feels otherwise: “Matthew Wisniewski @mwisniewski Hi everyone....

Indiana Republicans have put so called “right-to-work” legislation on a “fast track” in the hopes of having it passed into law before the Super Bowl on February 5th of this year. Republicans want to avoid negative the media attention of mass protests going on at the capital. If they want to avoid the potential...

Specifically, Walker went to Orange County to a 400 Club Reception. Where protesters were ready to greet him. But does the man who ignores 180,000 protesters at a pop even notice he has Walker Stalkers everywhere he goes? I’m guessing his reality distortion field remained strong but that passers-by – - you know –...

Recently we’ve seen a lot of iconic images of police brutality against peaceful protesters from all over the country.
