5 years since the Act 10 protests in Madison.......

Five years ago today, Republican Gov. Scott Walker introduced legislation that would effectively end collective bargaining for public employees and unmoor Wisconsin from its progressive roots.

In his own words, it was the day he "dropped the bomb."

The bill that later became Act 10 launched the largest protests ever in Madison, including a temporary occupation of the Capitol; legislative chaos highlighted by Democratic senators fleeing to Illinois to forestall a floor vote; and Walker's historic recall victory.

The days, weeks and months after Walker's Feb. 11, 2011, announcement were among the most dramatic in Wisconsin's history.

Years later, Act 10 continues to influence the state's political, economic and social landscape. And it will continue to reverberate years into the future.

Today, the Wisconsin State Journal explores five impacts of Act 10 on the five-year anniversary of its introduction.

Help, my Thanksgiving cactus has 8 flower buds on it....I first thought they were new leaf segments

but they're flower buds!!! it's the beginning of February, flower buds don't start now.....what the heck is going on with this plant?? Oh and would have posted this in the garden section, but topics go there to die, no discussions since 2014. So any ideas as to why this plant is setting flower buds now?? Thanks.

CNN Democratic forum.....

didn't get to see Bernie, but, the part of Hillary's segment I saw, and she was great, I'm done trying to dismiss the "other"'candidate. They're BOTH great..... I'm not going to bad mouth my opponent, and I don't' think anyone here on DU should either. WE'RE ALL DEMOCRATS. Now we've just got to win the White House along with some Senate seats and if possible some House seats as well. GO DEMS GO.
