Organizers in Metcalfe Park's neighborhood see the potential of the structures that still stand. The project of Reclaim and Restore is a community-driven effort to buy up abandoned homes, and renovate them. When the restoration is complete they are given to resident families who have paid rent in the neighborhood for years through an affordable lease-to-own program.

We look forward to seeing Seawright’s story but it is also important that everyone stand up to bullies, and that we do so collectively. If she was pushed out, and the people doing the pushing do not lose political or social capital, then they will do it again, to other good, unique, passionate candidates.

It has been said that “In the game of White Supremacy people of color aren’t the other team, they are the ball.“ We can’t flip-flop on ICE when “our guy” is in charge. Tammy Baldwin has given us every reason to doubt her commitment to human rights.

Despite what some loud voices in the Wisconsin Democratic Party would have you believe, the people in the party stand united with Palestine. Zionists in our movements are operating from a compromised position; if they are willing to overlook genocide then what other atrocities are they willing to stomach?

If every Wisconsin donor was a voter in the party primary, Francesca Hong won nearly half (49.5%) of them! She also has Tom Tiffany beat single handedly, and all Democrats combined are whooping the Republicans combined.  

There are a diversity of tactics to opposing ICE. All of the protesting on the ground is important, even when it feels like it isn’t. There is an abundance of shit to stand against in 2026, but we have to keep focused and combine efforts where applicable. “The wrong Amazon is burning. The wrong ICE is melting.”

In the last two elections, voters gave the highest court in the state a mandate to fix Wisconsin’s broken democracy. They are letting us down. Their fear of being accused of politicizing the courts leads the liberal majority to make highly political decisions favoring Republican congresspeople.
