This is local Minneapolis Police attacking ICE protesters. Not ICE agents, regular cops doing violence for benefit of ICE and Trump.

David Crowley and Cavalier Johnson expanded law enforcement funding and troop strength every year to prepare for doing this to Milwaukee.

Fuck them.

I want to believe mamdani is popular because of his policies. I hate when people say he’s a charismatic fluke or emphasize his socials and outreach, because that distracts from the policy approach I want others to adopt.

But then, he goes and does something as deft, cute, and effortless as this!
Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

We dug through and put Wisconsin's 8 congressional races in a nice little pile, so you don't have to! Additional digging is needed, but, if you're wondering what part our state might play in flipping the legislature to impeach Trump, this is a start!

It is very early in the year and there are dozens of candidates between the 8 races, so for now we’re just giving first-glimpse looks. We hope to get more in-depth later.

Swing states / purple states is a semantic difference. People are talking about a real thing in a way that’s understandable if not strictly accurate.

I know your publishers want you to distract and calm people down, but do you REALLY have to do what they want?
one thing i have noticed is a lot of folks do not seem to understand the difference between a presidential election and 435+ legislative elections. i have seen any number of people say that you could subvert the outcome this november by targeting “swing states,” which does not make any sense.

We have a former speaker of the house who slow walked his impeachment after Jan 6, enabling this situation. @pelosi.house.gov go away, you failed us.
Nancy Pelosi warns press freedom is under attack after the arrest of an independent journalist, and on the same day the Washington Post, which is owned by Jeff Bezos, conducted mass layoffs of its reporters and editors worldwide.

Can we afford to wait for MAGA to fix the midterm election?

Why can’t we demand impeachment now?

Why not protest, bird dog, troll, socially isolate, otherwise make constant trouble for the pedo-protecting, fascist republicans in congress and the senate, until they break and relent?

Repeatedly shouting: “Donald Trump is a pedophile” at news cameras…

Is it conflictual? Do it generalize?
"Donald Trump is a pedophile!" Protesters in LA would not let FOX-11 news record even a single soundbite at the anti-ICE protests

@saraforwi.com if the public option is more affordable and reliable, why would a person only use it if priced out?

This sounds cool, but if you actually implement what you’re really offering, isn’t it going to quickly put your former employers out if business?

Did they donate to your campaign?
My plan starts with BadgerChoice — a Wisconsin-run public health insurance option. If private insurance is pricing you out, you’ll have an affordable choice you can count on.

In AD21 Democrats lost an opportunity to elect our first social worker to the legislature, the first Native American in 150 years, the mother of a child who uses a wheelchair, and an incredible, enthusiastic fresh new politician, with great potential.

Why?

@davidccrowley.bsky.social David Crowley is the boss of Milwaukee County. His team let county employee healthcare contract lapse, because they were trying to cut costs.

Does he still want us to elect him to fix healthcare statewide? Why would we?

This. Every Republican congressperson has an office. There are 2-3 within an hour drive of Milwaukee.

Protests downtown are great, but there are decision-makers who can be directly pressured.

Tony Evers is a valueless coward who cannot be trusted to stand up for anything if fascist Republicans convince one or two Democrats to sign on to it so it looks bipartisan.
