"Democratic socialism looks like everybody having housing, everybody having food and — and maybe nobody having an 18th yacht or vacation home."
It was great to sit down with WUWM (89.7) to talk about the history of socialism in Wisconsin — and how we’re making history in the legislature, right now.

This is a great idea -- price fixing by algorithm is still price fixing but with plausible deniability.
We should not let landlords collude to raise rents, especially in the midst of a nationwide housing crisis.

Today Portland City Council will have a final hearing and vote on my Algorithmic Price Fixing Ban!
So grateful for leaders like @agdanrayfield.bsky.social for leading the charge in the courts. Corporations should not be taking advantage of regular people for profit. Affordable rent NOW!

BREAKING NEWS: We’ve secured a $7 million settlement holding the largest U.S. landlord accountable for a price fixing scheme – and putting a check on the rising cost of rentals.

Great q re data centers!
1) Wisconsin’s Public Utilities Commission regulates (some!) energy users like data centers *and* energy providers like We Energies. They have been rubber stamping what the utilities want
2) @govevers.wisconsin.gov has refused to use his leverage to change this status quo.

Right now, data centers in Wisconsin are treated like other energy user. That's ridiculous: We Energies (one of the biggest drivers of data center growth!) is planning for them to *double* our energy use.
And guess who gets a guaranteed 9.8% profit from building new gas plants? (Yep, We Energies.)

Knocking doors today in the Cambrdge Woods neighborhood and having some inspiring, in depth conversations about big, bold ideas: carceral reform, taxing the rich, the limits of individual charity, robber barons, and how we restore empathy to community. I’m honored to serve here.

We should not be telling people on FoodShare/SNAP what they can or can't buy for their families. Especially not now, as the Trump Administration is threatening to claw back November's benefits, out of spite.
This bill is badly written, mean, and terrible policy.

A reminder to reporters (and others): The Epstein files bill seeks to compel a step Trump could voluntarily take at any time.
If he’s really in favor of the bill now, why not just order Bondi to release the files?

I’m glad to be part of a community committing to driving our ICE at every opportunity. ICE is inherently harmful, only two decades old, and should be abolished.

We cannot improve conditions in our jails and prisons as long as they are controlled by people who won’t let us inside. These bills seek to improve public safety by restoring some measure of dignity and transparency to our carceral systems.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Even worse: charter schools and voucher schools (in Wisconsin, at least!) can pick and choose which students they accept, even expelling kids with special needs.
That puts the cost back on public schools -- who are only reimbursed around 42.5% of the cost.
It's a failed, unaccountable system.

Getting annoyed listening to charter school activists lie again and again that charter schools are public schools.
They are not.
They are publicly funded private schools that siphon money away from public schools and produce no better results.
