Monitoring the chatter on right wing social media in #Wisconsin and #MAGAWorld (in the form of county GOP parties and their media ecosystem) looks like they are angling for another Kenosha c.2020. Tagging WI Patriots is a bad sign. ----- #RightWingWatch

Stephen Miller demands mockery. #ColonelBogeyMarch

Right wing radio in #Wisconsin, ladies and gentlemen. From his May 16, 2025 show. Jerks. #RightWingRadio

Wisconsin libraries brace for deep cuts from federal government, threatening programs especially in rural areas @bspears.bsky.social reports wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/04/21/w...

Koch-backed neoliberal lobbyists #AmericansforProsperity are feeling the heat in #Wisconsin. They are going to try and "up" their game on social media (it's 2025, after all!). #OppoResearch #Waukesha #rightwingwatch 1/2

The fight against Trumpism is a fight for #mainstreet and small businesses. It's a fight for communities and #Communitarianism. #Waukesha #Wisconsin #HandsOff #Indivisible #50501Protests

#TPUSA's new Vice Chair for the Republican Party of Wisconsin's 5th Congressional District has his theories about Democratic Party-aligned infrastructure, too.

My letter to the editor of the #Waukesha Freeman (April 8, 2025). ---- #StopMAGA #Wisconsin #LakeCountryWI

Yeah, we all knew what was driving the far right's rhetoric against DEI. A #Waukesha County Supervisor posted this about Delta Airlines. Unless you are a straight white male, you are a "DEI hire". Today's #MAGAParty, folks. ---- #Wisconsin #wipolitics

A good piece on the #manufacturedoutrage and #culturewars from the (far) right in school districts: rob-subterra-insights.medium.com/how-fear-is-... * Name the manipulation * Reject the frame * Defend public education as a democratic institution #SupportOurPublicSchools

Speculating on energy developments in North America (in the context of PM Carney's remarks), one wonders if a Suncor-Cenovus merger may be on the cards. #politicaleconomy #energyeconomics

When it comes to Christian Nationalism, MAGA, and Technofascism, there is only one way to go. ---- #StopMAGA #StopMusk #Wisconsin #OnWisconsin #BlueWedge

The Republican Party of #Wisconsin's Brian Schimming and #MomsforLiberty's Scarlett Johnson from earlier this week. The cropping of the photo makes his gesture prophetic.

Continuing on this theme ... Elon Musk's America PAC announced a "Block Captain" program where participants can earn $50 for engaging neighbours on their block to vote for Brad Schimel. A neighbour of mine noted the similarity to the Blockleiter (Block Warden): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockle...

The #WIGOP's Triangle of Deception: How Wisconsin's Republican's Architected the 2025 Spring Ballot Question.

#Satire #CharacterLimit #StopMusk

Welcome to April 1st and the 2025 Wisconsin Spring Election!

Pattonesque visual for Musk.

The disinformation and silly games are ramping up on a right wing FB page (which includes many GOP-backed school board members and candidates as well as #MomsforLiberty operatives) in #Wisconsin ahead of the #2025SpringElection. This screenshot is beyond laughable.

Note to right wing blog #Wisconsin Right Now: I don't think MAGAworld has quite found the "opposite" of N*zi's.

GOP-backed right wing member of the #Elmbrook school board promoting Musk's "petition" to raise $100 for "future campaigning" in his newsletter. Communities & schools are being used for political purposes by MAGA in #Wisconsin. Once again, this seems very, very wrong. #Waukesha #BrookfieldWI

More attacks on the #fREADOM to read and the institution of public libraries in the country. ---- #StopMAGA #StopTrumpism #SupportOurPublicLibraries #Everylibrary

Interesting development. #MomsforLiberty's #BookLooks "book rating service" is shutting down. From #BookRiot. --- #fREADOM

The GOP-backed School Board President for School District of #Waukesha appears in an attack ad from right wing candidate for #SCOWIS Brad Schimel. --- #Wisconsin #wipolitics #PartisanSchoolBoards #StopMAGA 1/5

Let's call this what it is, #Oconomowoc. It's Christian Nationalism. It's American Fascism. It's unwelcome in #LakeCountryWI. It's unwelcome in #Wisconsin. ------- #StopMAGA #StopTPUSA #StopTrumpism #NoRoomforHate #DumboJr

The right wing machine centred on #Wisconsin (updated flow chart). Always a work in progress.

Wisconsin Indivisibles have endorsed Susan Crawford, and they’re talking to voters across the state ahead of the April 1 election. If you can help us win this seat and land a critical victory for abortion rights, worker rights, and democracy, please pitch in: secure.actblue.com/donate/scowi...

GOP-backed candidate for #Wisconsin DPI State Superintendent is essentially a front for school privatization interests. Her support includes #MomsforLiberty, #SchoolChoiceWI, and the Republican Party of Wisconsin. --- #SayNOtoKinser #Waukesha

Amazing "cold open" on the latest episode of #Severance. Top song choice, too, from a top band! #LoveSpreads #TheStoneRoses

On February 4th, the GOP-controlled school board at #Arrowhead High School will entertain a policy change that removes a requirement "to give students an understanding of human relations, particularly with regard to American Indians, Black Americans and Hispanics." #Wisconsin #HartlandWI

A good resource for tracking the Tr*mp administration's actions: www.democracy2025.org/response-cen... #Democracy2025

The Republican Party of #Waukesha County (#WISRED) is extending the playbook used in Wauwatosa, Menomonee Falls, and Waukesha school districts to have a "trio" of right wing candidates run together. These are not pro-public education candidates. #Hartland #Wisconsin 1/2

US Customers and Border Patrol spotted (in force) in #Waukesha, #Wisconsin. Far right propaganda outlet Wisconsin Right Now is cheering them on. So, too, is a MAGA state legislator. So this is where we are now. ----- #StopTrumpism #StopXenophobia

There seems to be some nervousness today about the app(s) used by right wing groups in #Wisconsin (developed by #SuperfeedTech). Here is one #TPAction (#TPUSA) operative trying to "dispel" some rumours. 1/x

Seeing as far right agitator #ScottPresler is promoting his #EarlyActionVote app, a few reference notes on Superfeed Technologies: www.thedailybeast.com/kari-lake-li... 1/2 #SuperfeedTech #Wisconsin
