    TMI 02/21/2025 - Wisconsin's Supreme Court Race Gets Hidden in the Newscycle, EEOC and NLRB Are Under Attack to Destroy Workers Rights, George Monbiot Shows How International Our Troubles Are, more

    You might not be aware of it, with Elon Musk and Donald Trump taking virtually all the air out of the news lately, but the State of Wisconsin has one of the MOST important elections in the USA for 2025 coming up in just over a month! On Tuesday, April 1st, Wisconsin's GOP wants to pull the most cruel April Fool's joke ever by ripping control of our state's Supreme Court away from us after just two short years. With Ann Walsh Bradley retiring after 30 years of liberal rulings, the 4-3 liberal mix of the court would be put back in conservative hands if Scott Walker's former Attorney General Brad Schimel is allowed to beat Susan Crawford in this spring election. We got over what is at stake. Next, we review how the recent strategic firings at the National Labor Relations Board and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (The NLRB and the EEOC, respectively) hamstring those organizations' ability to act in any way, robbing them each of the quorum necessary to act on behalf of workers nationwide. Then we read, with permission, the writings of our UK friend George Monbiot, as he details how there, those who had been pointing out the ways in which their society needed to be improved to forestall calamity were pushed aside in a way that's all too familiar here in the United States. All this and more on TMI for Friday, February 21, 2025 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!
