SCOOP: Last night, @saraforwi and @DavidCCrowley backed out of a Wisconsin governor forum hosted by @wimuslims and @wimuslimcivic after organizers told candidates in advance they would have to address the Gaza genocide, anti-BDS law, and the state's definition of antisemitism: 🧵

DSA-backed Wisconsin State Representative Francesca Hong is running for governor—and she could win. bit.ly/4y2QJLP

ICE says it won't abide by Milwaukee mask rule jsonline.com/story/news/loc…

You betcha, I will protect girls' sports and girls' spaces as governor. As a father of three daughters, this issue is personal to me. Thank you, @EllaFrei17, for standing up for girls across Wisconsin. It's time you had a governor who stands with you.

🚨MUST READ: Yesterday, @FrancescaHongWI willingly appeared on the livestream of someone who: -Said America "deserved 9/11." -Told viewers capitalists should be murdered. -Claimed "it doesn't matter if rapes happened on October 7." -Called communism the "honorable end goal." This doesn't come as a surprise because this is the same Francesca Hong who has called to abolish the police, wants to turn Wisconsin into a sanctuary state, and voted against making child grooming a felony. But the other two leading Democrat candidates for governor, @TheOtherMandela and @saraforwi, couldn't even bring themselves to condemn these comments. When asked by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, both had no comment. We can disagree on a lot of public policy issues, but there should be no hesitation in condemning rhetoric that excuses terrorism and communism. Their silence says everything about what today's Democrat Party is willing to embrace.

Hong appears on stream with Hasan Piker, who has said US deserved 9/11 jsonline.com/story/news/pol…

⚡️ New: Melat Kiros tells Drop Site News her campaign is seeing stronger-than-expected turnout in Colorado’s 1st District, with younger voters expected to make up a major share of Election Day ballots. In an interview with Ryan Grim and Murtaza Hussain this morning, Kiros also reflected on what politicized her. She spoke about her family’s immigration to the U.S. through the Diversity Visa lottery, and watching her parents become American citizens, with her father choosing the Democratic Party because “this was the party that fought for working people… fought for the Civil Rights Act… labor laws.” She also discussed organizing during the genocide in Ethiopia’s Tigray region, and the article she wrote defending pro-Palestinian student protesters that led to her being fired from her law firm. Watch Kiros tell her story in her own words. ⬇️ (We briefly lose the connection midway through the clip, but stick with us. Melat returns after a short break.) @MelatKirosCO | @ryangrim | @MazMHussain
