As voucher programs expand nationwide, direct action, protests and declarations of support for public schools isn't irrelevant. But after years of retreat, it’s time for a different tactic in the war on education.
Holding majorities across three levels of state governance, Republicans can continue to slash budgets for k-12 education while deregulating urban schools via voucher programs and charter schools.
The Bad River Tribal Council voted in January to evict Enbridge’s Line 5 from tribal lands, arguing that the pipeline’s age poses a significant threat to tribal lands and water supplies.
The president-elect has already pledged $20 billion to expand voucher programs nationwide, and his appointee for Education Secretary, Betsy DeVos, views dismantling public education as a mission from God.
Wisconsin attributed its suspension of the privatization program to increased test scores and new criteria for grading schools – but months of resistance from public school staff, students and community organizers ultimately achieved the win.
At first glance, the appeal of a tuition freeze is obvious: the bills directly benefit students and can be written, passed and enforced in just months. But not everyone is on board, for good reasons.
Wisconsin's former champion of campaign finance reform is working more closely than ever with PACs to get re-elected – prompting questions about his credentials as a progressive leader in 2016.
Just as Gov. Scott Walker’s Act 10 dismantled the security and stability of union protection in K-12 education, recent tenure changes threaten a fair hiring and firing process in the University of Wisconsin System.
Journalists have a responsibility to plainly tell the truth about how truly different the Democrats and the Republicans are today, especially with both democracy and the rule of law at stake this November.
From Hungary and Poland to Italy and Spain, today's anti-abortionist movements are feeding one another—while also driving a growing counter-movement.
Agriculture, the service economy, sexual exploitation, manufacturing, construction and domestic work drive today's enslavement around the world.
Thanks to the Electoral College, leftists have perhaps the final say this November over whether democracy can hold on for at least another four years, or if fascism will take root and infect all facets of the federal government for decades to come.
What remains unknown is whether post-truth Republicans will succeed in 2024 as the Nazis did in 1933.

History shows there are no “one-day” dictatorships. When democracies fall, they typically fall completely.
