It was great to sit down with WUWM (89.7) to talk about the history of socialism in Wisconsin — and how we’re making new history in the legislature, right now. Read and listen here:.

Aside from the unhinged jabs from conservatives angry about Palestine and the space given to a far right think tank to take down “The Socialist Agenda”, there’s good context in this Milwaukee Magazine about Wisconsin socialism. I’m proud to be part of it.

I’m proud to stand with @UAW Local 95 in their struggle for adequate wages and workplace safety. @mercyhealth should be ashamed of their union-busting tactics: they won’t work.

At the @maarpr_mke People’s Independence Day, we celebrate our community and resistance.

Thanks to all the folks who braved the rain today and marched with in today’s parade. Our contingent included family, friends, union advocates, resisters, Vespas and even Lady Liberty! See you at 1pm at Dontre Hamilton / Red Arrow Park for People’s Independence Day.

This budget failed on every item. It is an insult to the people of Wisconsin. I voted no -- now begins the hard work of picking up the pieces, and moving forward together.

A diverse coalition of grassroots organizations made clear that our budget *must* contain:.-an expansion to Medicaid.-funding to close the inhumane Green Bay Correctional Institution.-full funding of Child Care Counts ($480M).-90% reimbursement for public K-12 special education.

Today, barely a day after finalizing it, @GovEvers and legislative Republicans pushed through a budget that will cause incredible harm to our state -- damage that it will take years of organizing to undo.

RT @RepGwenMoore: Every Wisconsin Republican in Congress just voted to cut BadgerCare for thousands of Wisconsinites. .

signed into law scores of pieces of legislation, many with fanfare, which lock up more people for more years for more crimes, cementing Evers’ legacy as someone fully invested in mass incarceration.

that even partially made it into the Republican budget. And Evers removed it. This profoundly disappointing action is a betrayal of Evers’ 2019 promise to reduce Wisconsin’s prison population by half. But it’s also consistent. Since making that clearly empty promise, he’s….

for it. It was part of his own recommended budget. The closure of GBCI - an ancient, 1800s-era dungeon - has broad bipartisan support, the demand to do so was one of the demands echoed by dozens of grassroots organizations this budget cycle. This was one of the few core demands. .

out one of the few bright spots in an almost entirely bleak budget. The absense of a deadline makes closure deeply unlikely in an environment where even deadlined closures, like Lincoln Hills, are ignored. This wasn’t part of any negotiation. He didn’t get any concession….

🧵Early this morning, Governor Tony Evers signed a deeply damaging Republican budget which will do great deal of harm to our state. But before he did, he wielded his line item veto pen to remove the deadline to close Green Bay Correctional Institution by 2029, snuffing…
