The testimony in opposition to Milwaukee County’s law enforcement use of cameras and facial recognition technology is 🔥 . We do not need this y’all. It’s being used to make a very few people richer and more powerful.

At Zao with @mkedsa.bsky.social asking WI gubernatorial candidate @francescahongwi.bsky.social hard questions. Watching my kids in this space. Thinking about how to have capacity for electoral organizing and community organizing. We need all of us to dream a better future together.

Wisconsin taxpayers gave a consulting firm half a million to tell us what incarcerated people and their advocates have been shouting into the void where Tony Evers’ heart should be for a decade.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

💔🤬 It appears that the executive director of NSGC stopped this, being condescending and patronizing to the first time attendee students when they didn’t have others around. I’m furious. #nsgc25 #GeneChat
Hey #nsgc25 #genechat! It’s Sunday! Come to the 6th floor outside the ballroom to support Palestine and pick up some information and/or accessories! We’re supporting the Sameer Foundation and our friend Arwa Ziada’s family.

I think this is great! I love choices!! It makes me so sad that we’ve gotten used to the lesser of two evils when we could have the “problem” of choosing who we think is the best in a strong field!

Next up: rank choice voting 😉
Am I the only person who thinks this is great? Like, “yes, we should have a variety of candidates in primaries. Let’s stop being afraid of what Fox News is going to say, they are going to say it anyway.”

The government shutdown is creating real challenges for families in Milwaukee, especially those relying on SNAP benefits. Many students at La Escuela Fratney may not receive their usual food assistance on November 1, and this could leave them without meals. GoFundMe: gofund.me/b49fdc185

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.
