The value of a city’s flag is diminished when measured against the practical challenges that city faces daily. I urge you to reconsider your focus, Alderman Brower. As someone who campaigned on the power of grassroots movements, you understand better than most that authentic change comes from the ground up, not from committees down. Honor that ethos by redirecting your energy toward the material improvements your constituents have been waiting for.

Wisconsin DHS Finds MPS Mishandled Lead Remediation, But Imposed $6000 Fine is Not Enough; FLAC CALLS FOR CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION

It is Saturday morning and I am driving to the Dells for the Wisconsin Democratic Convention. On the same day No Kings rallies are expected to sweep across the state, and the country as well. Later while sitting in one of many caucuses in a stuffy room at the Chula Vista conference center I am struck by a thought. Sometimes fighting fascism is fucking boring.

There is no way to be neutral during the extermination of entire people and it is that simple: to not actively fight genocide is to be pro-genocide, and there are those in the Democratic Party who fall into that camp.

Democratic voters and party members need to assert themselves against the donor class and their priorities. We need to demonstrate our dissatisfaction with the status quo politicians and their cautious, fascist-appeasing strategies. Overall, we need to deter Tony Evers from running for another term.

The Cream City Routes video does a good job of painting in the lines and imagining a world without a massive, crumbling symbol of racist policies, but there it begs the question: what should we build, and how can we make it for everyone?

Republicans are not operating from the same position of unified strength they held before. If Evers utilizes his leverage, then it is they who will be blamed for passing an unsignable budget. For the first time in the six years, Evers has decided to enter into negotiation with Robin Vos and the other forgettable Republicans in his coalition.

Wikler and Remiker’s biggest achievement is massive fundraising hauls from rich donors that inundated our state with ubiquitous 30 second ads, avalanches of junk mail, and nonstop door knocking; all things that annoy, rather than inspire voters. Their biggest innovation is year round campaigning. They have people constantly volunteering and donating in fear. We are literally running scared door to door and picking up the slack for uninspiring politicians who deliver us crumbs.
