@BruceR0dney @MKENewYorker For me atleast, brewers games, some bars, better pride event, and more work opportunities. Generally I view investment in connecting our state as a good overall

@AngelTheProdigy @MKENewYorker I guess to each its own. We used to call Milwaukee the biggest hick town in Wisconsin. Like Minneapolis I get why folks would want to take a train out of there but its beyond me why anyone would want to take one there.

I don’t know how anyone who lives in Wisconsin can be against the expansion of rail services. Despite ride share services like Uber/Lyft being available we’re still the top state for DUIs. Wisconsin yearns to be railed.

@tonyc920 @MKENewYorker Those buses are also underfunded utter dogshit bc they keep cutting em.

@MKENewYorker Nope,... I'm not paying for the expenses the state has to pick up for extending rails to Madison or Green Bay. Not gonna happen bro. They can't even fill the buses running between Madison and Milwaukee

@BruceR0dney @MKENewYorker "Why would anyone want to go to the biggest city in our state?" Gee I wonder

Yes because in Wisconsin if you get a DUI the first thing you do is grab a train. Why would anyone want to go to Milwaukee, the last time I was there Cheers was still on TV. Now I know it has been pertied up since then but as they used to say about Russia, it is a glamerous women in dirty underwear.

@Iceman2862 @MiaForTrump Are you fucking stupid? Democrats in the 1800s sure as all fuck weren't "The Left"

30 gunshots fired at the White House. 2016: Shots at the White House 2018: Shots at the White House 2020: Shots at the White House 2021–2024: No shots at the White House 2025: Shots at the White House 2026: Shots at the White House Gunshots at the White House only happen when Trump is president. All the “assassination attempts” look fake.

@Nebraskademsoc Madisons been a progressive hotbed since the 60s, its why I love that city so much

Madison is really the most Progressive city ever, 2006 Gay Marriage referendum.

@freetotem @AezzieUwU And the GOP has rallied behind a child molester, racist corrupt wannabe dictator who has brought nothing but misery. Spare us all your bitching

@AezzieUwU The entire left wing has been far too much for at least 15 years. You “liberals” have been too lazy and cowardly to stand firm against the takeover of your party by these nihilistic psychos, so spare us the shocked pearl clutching. You’ve done this to yourselves.

Im gonna be honest here, this is really bad. I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt seeing as these statements were from 6 years ago, but she wasn’t even willing to disavow them now. I cannot in any good faith back her for governor. Im left wing but this is too much…

@ndcoalitionfan @micah_erfan Because theres a candidate that appeals to us more, and Barnes has betrayed several of his progressive policies in pursuit of higher office.

@micah_erfan I'm really confused why progressives aren't rallying behind Barnes

Y’all, we cannot blunder the Wisconsin Governor’s Race by nominating someone whose views poll at 11%. Vote for Mandela Barnes or Sara Rodriguez.

@DSAMadison Same shit they do to any leftie candidate. Pulled the same bs with Mamdani in NYC.

These hit pieces reek of desperation. The mainstream media has never been more out of touch with the American working class.

@karl_scheife @mattsmith_news @WISN12News ICE has a history of acting like armed thugs, and intimidation, with guns and masks. If you are black in the south, if you hear the klan is gonna be at the polling stations, do you go to the polls? Jewish in nazi germany? No.

@mattsmith_news @WISN12News If non citizens cannot vote, how ICE at polling places affect anything? Give me a plausible situation.

Dem candidate for gov Francesca Hong releases election-related plan and says she’d push to expand early voting in WI to 30 days, automatically register voters at DMV and ban ICE from coming within 250 feet of a polling location

@F4stAndOld @Mountain_Twhick A barnes candidacy just sees a rerun of his last attempt. But the establishment DNC prolly go with him anyway. Only solution is to get out and vote in the primaries

@Mountain_Twhick Even if people somehow didn't care Wisconsin Dems are probably gonna rally behind someone else (probably Mandela Barnes) to stop her now because of this

Am I crazy for thinking this won’t matter and is actually quite an effective response

@LorraineEvanoff Judicial impeachment needs to happen.

Whoa. "The Supreme Court has permitted white voters to benefit from a ruling in precisely the same way it has used the so-called Purcell principle to deny Black voters the benefit of changes in the law: by speeding the ruling into effect. It allowed uncertainty to permeate the process. Even Republicans, including former Alabama House member and longtime political commentator Steve Flowers, conceded before Election Day that confusion could depress turnout. “I think there will be low turnout for two reasons,” Flowers said, identifying the first as “the redistricting thing has confused people.” Alabama rushed to adopt a map that would gerrymander the second Black opportunity district—the district the Supreme Court had only recently ordered the state to create—out of existence. In response, the Black voters who had been plaintiffs in the lawsuit that led to the creation of the second district returned to the Supreme Court, asking it for a stay to prevent a change in maps so close to the election. The Supreme Court ruled against the plaintiffs’ request in less time than it would have taken to fully read their moving papers. The justices then remanded the case to the panel that heard Milligan, two Alabama district judges and an Eleventh Circuit judge, for a decision consistent with Callais. The panel did not issue a hasty ruling; the matter is still pending. It has been meticulous and careful in its work all along. Perhaps, when the judges rule, they will simply conclude that Callais compels them to overrule their earlier decision and permit Alabama to return to using maps that leave Black and brown voters with a realistic chance of electing their preferred candidate in only one of the state’s seven congressional districts. There is another possibility. Justice Sotomayor noted it in her Callais dissent: “As with all vacaturs of this kind from this Court, the District Court remains free on remand to decide for itself whether Callais has any bearing on its Fourteenth Amendment analysis or if its prior reasoning is unaffected by that decision.” In other words, the panel could conclude that Callais does not change the outcome in Milligan. The panel found evidence that the Alabama Legislature intentionally discriminated on the basis of race, which could arguably place this case on a different legal footing. But even if that happens, the process is already underway, with the legislature able to move quickly to use maps that discriminate against Black voters."

@HQEDphd @micyoung75 The same courts that struck it down are still holding the court. Where do you think a lawsuit goes?

@micyoung75 and yet, not a single lawsuit... Title 18, U.S.C., Section 241 - Conspiracy Against Rights  "Conspire to oppress as an elected official any person of any state in the free exercise of any right secured them by the Constitution or laws of the US." #Conspiracy-Against%20Rights" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">fbi.gov/investigate/ci…

South Carolina Representative Ralph Norman explained why Clyburn's district must be eliminated: it "is close to 47 percent African American" and Black voters don't vote the right way for "the rest of South Carolina, which is conservative." That is the colorblind redistricting Lee is celebrating. The controlled experiment exists. When courts drew North Carolina's map, the state sent 7 Democrats and 7 Republicans to Congress - matching a genuine battleground state's actual voting patterns. The partisan map sent 4 Democrats and 10 Republicans. Colorblind maps produce outcomes that can only be explained by the deliberate suppression of Black political representation. The colors are visible in the results even when the stated purpose is invisible. Lee's historical argument also requires ignoring what the Fifteenth Amendment's own authors said they were doing. They wrote it specifically because race was the mechanism of disenfranchisement - and they knew a colorblind application would allow disenfranchisement to continue through superficially neutral means. The 1898 Supreme Court blessed that logic in Williams v. Mississippi. The Roberts Court has done it again in Callais. Senator Sumner warned in 1869 that the enemy of Black suffrage was protean, altering its appearance as needed. Lee's post demonstrates he was right.

@MarioNawfal Average John Fetterman Moment. That asshole needs to go

🚨 BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 After eight attempts, the U.S. Senate has finally advanced a War Powers Resolution limiting military activities against Iran, passing 50-47. Key details: -Four Republicans crossed the aisle to vote yes: Susan Collins, Bill Cassidy, Lisa Murkowski, and Rand Paul -Democrat John Fetterman broke ranks to vote against the resolution -This is the first time any Iran war powers resolution has cleared the Senate -Comes hours after Trump said he was "an hour away" from ordering new strikes -Trump previously called the War Powers Act "totally unconstitutional" The political ground is shifting fast. This comes as the Pentagon admitted the war cost $29 billion (real number closer to $1 trillion), and Iran's missile sites are 90% operational, the Senate finally found the spine to put a leash on the war. Whether the House follows is the next question. Whether Trump signs or vetoes is the bigger one. The Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war. Tonight, for the first time in this war, a majority of senators said that power means something.

@LarryStich9 @FrancescaHongWI Bad faith Got it. Bye.

@AngelTheProdigy @FrancescaHongWI At the time homosexual activity was illegal in NYC. Hope you read the story some day and can do better snark.

Last week, the Watertown School Board voted 7-1 to ban "A Mother of a Revolution!" -- a wordless, four-minute instrumental piece that students had been preparing all year -- from the high school spring concert. wpr.org/news/composer-…

@dansbaldspot @FrancescaHongWI You mean a safer state, with better transit, that takes care of its citizens better? 🤔

@FrancescaHongWI Vote for hong if you want Wisconsin to look like Minnesota and become communist

Honored to receive the endorsement from Our Wisconsin Revolution! ⁠ Together we make better possible 💙

@LarryStich9 @FrancescaHongWI Closing a mob bar is why they made arrests for crossdressing 🤔 Can't tell if ignorant or just pure bad faith Either way do better

@FrancescaHongWI The music is teevee stuff. Boring and repetitive boring. And the originsl event was about closing a Mob bar.

@driscoll1142 @PLSgetserious And almost all of them are packed to hell and back with republican appointees.

@PLSgetserious Lol... Every single court in the land is ruling against the Democrats. Don't try to put this on the Supreme Court. That's totally laughable. Courts across the land are crushing the Democrats

If there was any doubt in your mind which way the SCOTUS leans. This should clear that up. If this had been a Republican challenge. The extreme right wing of the court would have had this decided in their favor in days. They know if the Democrats regain control of all three branches. Their days of legislating from the bench are over.

@WallstreetTra13 @BernieSanders "Thats sad you need to recruit people" Every single politician ever has needed to do this. Do you think people pop out of the womb talking about politics?

@BernieSanders Thats sad you need to recruit people People should want it. You shouldnt have to beg for it. You've just defined what people think about Democrats Outright desperate

In the last 15 months, we have recruited over 8,500 Americans to run for office at every level of government. Today, I am proud to endorse 61 progressives running for state and local office across America. They will fight for the kind of changes our country desperately needs.

@Leppa10 @BernieSanders Disagree State legislatures are needed to even have a hope of getting that past, same with the courts. Issue is the state often draws their own lines. So to get national seats we need more state seats

@BernieSanders With all due respect, the ONLY focus should be US House, US Senate, and State legislatures. Once gerrymandering is banned at the national level, THEN we can focus on all other offices too.

@FrnglshJohnny89 @HistoryBoomer I mean it does appear both are unfortunately our realities.

@HistoryBoomer Calling Child Protective Services over something trivial and harmless like a kid walking home from school by themself is like someone calling ICE on another person simply because said person is speaking Spanish.

Stop threatening parents with CPS unless there is actual physical abuse! When my kid was a toddler, he was a holy terror. His tantrums were rock-star-trash-a-hotel-room level. No, we were not lenient; he was a madman. By age 5, he was improving, but still rough. One day he decided to stage a sit-down strike near the 17th Street Barnes and Noble. I don't remember the reason, but I knew trying to negotiate or drag him down the street would both fail. He needed time and space. So I let him slump down on the sidewalk, leaning against a "No Parking" sign. Tired me sat across the sidewalk from him, leaning against the Barnes and Noble wall. It was a wide sidewalk, so he was maybe 12 feet away from me. Or 15 feet? As we sat, one dude (30-something?) saw the kid "by himself." He looked around for a parent (good for him!), and saw me. I waved and gestured to show that it's ok, the kid was with me. He walked over and said, "You know, I could call Child Services on you." (!!!) I am a peaceful, easy-going dude. Nobody is ever afraid of me! But something on my tired dad face made him quickly back away towards the Barnes and Noble doors. As he's going in, he pulls out his phone and gestures at me, as if to say, "I'm calling them now." What an asshole. Less than a minute later, I see my kid getting up. I can tell the tantrum has faded. I get up too. "I'm sorry, Dad." "It's ok, kid, let's go home." And we did. That kind of nonsense is hateful. People who do it should be publicly shamed. Leave parents alone! Most are doing their best!
