The arrest of the suspected shooter brings relief to our entire state. Yet, this unimaginable tragedy will change us forever.
Our deepest thanks go to the first responders, law enforcement officials, and medical providers across the state enough for their lifesaving and tireless work.

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts?
Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government.
But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes.
Where is the outrage over that?

Masked ICE thugs terrorized Chicago yesterday.
They lied to immigrants waiting for their court hearing by summoning them for “surprise check-ins” and then assaulted protesters and elected officials.

They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process.

We spend $800 billion a year on our military yet our greatest enemy lives in the White House and we fly him to his own golf course for play dates on the weekend.

The GOP’s reconciliation bill is one of the worst environmental bills I’ve ever seen.
It guts public input, silences tribal and community voices, slashes environmental protections, and hands sacred and public lands to the lowest bidder with no accountability.
