There are 3 major healthcare systems who run healthcare in Milwaukee, that reach across the state of Wisconsin and beyond. All three have missions that supposedly also center the sanctity of human health and life.  And yet they, like every single other hospital system in the United States, have said nothing about the destruction of hospitals in Gaza.

As the fall-out of the election unfurls upon us, we must remember that it was pro-genocide Zionists who helped cement Harris’ position as a status-quo politician. Ann Jacobs’ hard work helped ensure Harris would proceed with an unpopular platform and a disastrous campaign strategy, facilitating Trump’s victory.

Let’s be clear: organizing with your friends, neighbors, and comrades is always an option. You are free to feel sad, to despair, to rant online, etc. But if you refuse to seek out opportunities to build something better, collectively, what are you doing beyond giving more power to the people you hate?

We understand that collective organizing work isn’t for everyone, and we all have our limitations. Don’t feel bad if you can’t bring yourself to participate due to physical, psychological, or practical reasons. But we encourage you to try, even if it’s hard (and it will be, at times.)

We have two tasks before us. The first is to defend everyone and anyone in the fascist crosshairs. The second is to eject corporate Democrats and other bedtime-story-telling losers from the conversation, so that we can build a true political opposition on the left.

If Democrats ever hope to win back Wisconsin, they need to start taking critiques from the left seriously. Simply accusing us of supporting Trump and other fascists like Dimitrijevic did, not only pushes us further away, but it also absolves Democrats from having to actually engage with any of these critiques and make change. While electoralism alone will not save us, it does give us access to power.
