Proud to be endorsed by former Assemblymember Michelle Schimel, a dedicated advocate who understands what our families are facing and what it takes to move our district forward. She’s spent years standing up for neighbors, fighting for fairness, and amplifying every voice. Grateful for her support.

True, but lot of people dislike tech bros. Especially when some of the more notable ones openly aligned with Trump. It might not have been significant, but I do think Elon endorsing Brad Schimel hurt more than it helped.

Much to the dismay of "illegal immigrant Medicaid fraud" screaming Tom Tiffany, Republican Brad Schimel announces white guys found guilty in Wisconsin Medicaid fraud.

Maybe he should stop the bigoted rhetoric?

"Originally written in Gun, a language of Benin... her verses bridge continents and cultures, expressing both deep love for her Beninese homeland and the complexities of exile, while meditating on tradition, memory, and displacement." 🇧🇯📖

Hopefully we can teach the oligarchs a painful lesson that people power wins over money's power every time. Musk tried to buy an election in a Wisconsin judicial election where he supported the republican with 25 million dollars only to lose the election. Susan Crawford beat Brad Schimel. Go Susan💪🇺🇸

#DoubleDactyl of the Week is a triumph of hexasyllabicitousness from Lawrence Schimel. To incorporate one 6-syllable word into a poem is an achievement - to sustain it over the length of a Double Dactyl poem is miraculous.

And how do I know? Because the Oracle told me!

A story that centers happiness as a role model for kids when choosing what they'll want to do when they grow up.

At this point, all of my fiction for adults, written in English or Spanish, is now out of print.

Should I try & republish? Do a new & selected? Try & find a publisher for just the uncollected stories? Give up on adult readers and just focus on the children's books?

In short, Walkerite through and through. But unlike your Dans Kelly or Brad Schimel, you don’t hear her name on the news associated with quotes outrageous even to your average con voter and she’s a woman (hypocrisy is wonderful and real and shameless).
