It's unclear if Judge Dugan did in fact prevent a kidnapping in her courtroom, but if so, good for her

This was my classmate. He was a student in my ethics class, and we used to sit next to each other. Most dedicated person in the class to legitimate justice for all people. He legitimately cared. I am so horribly heartbroken

Love to see that Martens are still present in Wisconsin and recovering somewhat with conservation, although they are still endangered. Martens are in the weasel family which is the most diverse group of carnivores on planet Earth. America needs more Martens! www.wisconservation.org/american-mar...

Pleased (plus a whole lot of other emotions) that @tonemadison.bsky.social will keep going without me running day-to-day operations. @stinadale.bsky.social, @nothingunfinished.bsky.social, and @stevenmps.bsky.social have stepped up in all sorts of ways, and deserve your support!

A student at UW-Madison had her visa revoked for a speeding ticket and a failure to stop citation. She paid the fine, had court dates for the failure to stop and the case was dropped. Is that "do all kinds of crazy things," Secretary Rubio?
