this. They are very brave, and much more measured than I would be. I probably have 35 years on all of them, but I don't think I could muster that kind of maturity.

I'm glad to be on their side.

I don't know much about basketball or care for whether or how they play basketball, but they sure know how to play at being human beings.

these 87 unis support 260 limbaugh stations, for instance.

The team demanded that the Republican-controlled state legislature gather for the special session that Democratic Gov. Evers called to consider measures to deal with situations such as in Kenosha. The background here is that legislative Republicans called a special lame-duck session just before Evers was sworn in, passing eleventh-hour legislation gutting some of his powers and forcing him to get the legislature's consent far more often. Including to the point that Evers' pandemic emergency orders have been rejected by the legislature, moves affirmed by the right-wing state Supreme Court majority. Other than that, the GOP lawmakers have ignored Evers' calls for special sessions to deal with pressing state business. Now the Bucks are putting the Republican politicians on the spot. The team is successful and very popular in and outside Wisconsin, and the players are using that reputation to leverage change.
