The day I have been dreading has finally arrived, the Lighthouse Dunes DNR permit application is complete. We are now officially in the public comment phase of this development, please consider sending an email to Sonya Ponzi sonya.ponzi@wisconsin.gov urging her to reject the application.

Look at that spectacular view, soon to be marred by the Lighthouse Dune Golf Course Development. Who else thinks it’s a little fishy this pricey little piece of real estate is being given to the Leipold Johnson Golf Group for a 2.2 million dollar bribe to the Racine Common Council?

Susan Collins claims that our reporting about CEO Martin Kao’s bribery allegations took him at his word. That’s not true. We reviewed a trove of FBI evidence and legal records. Here’s how we independently corroborated much of Kao’s account.

If LeBron or Taylor Swift posted this most recent El Niño historical temperature graph (current one in red) 500 million people would be in the streets. (And a hundred million lives would likely be saved in the next 20 months) #ClimateCrisis

"I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too, I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty, too, shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more." - Anne Frank

To folks who think caving on things like “Lake America” doesn’t matter in the long run… It does. It invites more such ego-serving It suggests that there’s no push back. It teaches people to expect more of the same. It matters.

Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Did you know the Wind Point, Wisconsin board approved a request by the Johnson/Leipold golf group to build a 70 car parking lot on the public green space by the Lighthouse grounds? The lot is being installed for the Lighthouse Dunes luxury clubhouse so their patrons won’t have far to walk.

What they don't teach you about heatwaves: It's not just heat. It's: • Your crops dying • Your river drying (Rhine is low again, disrupting shipping) • Your lungs burning from wildfire smoke • Your power grid collapsing It's everything at once.

We all know sometimes life hates and troubles Can make you wish you were born in another time and space But you can bet your lifetimes that and twice it's double That god knew exactly where he wanted you to be placed So make sure when you say you're in it, but not of it

You're not helpin' to make this earth A place sometimes called hell Change your words into truths And then change that truth into love
