And finally Milwaukee on Wednesday, October 8. This should be an incredible event we have planned for a long time. Please join us: www.milwaukeeturners.org/vel-phillips...

THREAD. This week, I'm doing Copaganda events in Minneapolis, Madison, and Milwaukee about the role of elite institutions--media, Democrats, universities, nonprofits--in the great problems of our time. And what we can do about it together.

📢 Important Update: A New Chapter for Our Movement 📢 Friends, Over the past months we’ve grown, reflected, and listened. To better represent who we are, where we’re going, and the community we serve, 50501 WI is divesting from 50501 and becoming Wisconsin Resist.

This movement is about accountability. No company, no party, no politician is safe from this. Those who have taken actions at the expense of basic human dignity can expect to be cited. Welcome to the People’s American Revolution. We’re in charge, the People.

This is a peaceful movement. Organizers have worked hard to ensure this. Anyone who is an aggressor is not one of us.

Rapid response protest this Tuesday, organized by Milwaukee PSL

@50501-socal.bsky.social Stay strong. Sí se puede

June 6th in Madison!

🌮

From @50501wi.bsky.social: On June 14, while Trump plays with tanks and trucks at his DC birthday parade, the rest of the nation will show him that we reject authoritarianism. America has #NoKings! (See comments for more info 🧵)

Today honors those who lost their life defending the ideals of democracy, the Constitution, and the People. It is a solemn reminder of their sacrifice, the value of courage, and to never take our freedoms for granted.

Menomonee Falls, rated among the top ten safest communities in Wisconsin, is planning on reallocating $300,000 from its library to its police department. Because Menomonee Falls is just that rampant with crime, right? Who needs a library?

Oppression has always depended on individual people giving up their free will to authority, until it’s eventually everyone. Hold the line.

From my friends at @50501wi.bsky.social: 50501 Wisconsin is proud to partner with The Village Diaper Bank to provide diapers to families experiencing hardship. Donate here: villagediaperbank.app.neoncrm.com/forms/50501-... #MadisonWI #Wisconsin

This movement is not new. But a large mass of people are finally awaking to notice it. This is the movement of and for the People. It is that fundamental. Welcome to the right side of history.

June 14th, Trump will hold a military parade as a display of power. The People will be on the streets as well.

Today, Milwaukee showed up big. Tomorrow, Madison will show us what they got. vdlf.org/may-day-2025/

Tom Tiffany, Scott Fitzgerald, Glenn Grothman. Today, you voted for the right of the federal government to ship Wisconsin citizens to other countries without due process. This isn’t politics. This is terror. This is against humanity.

Tomorrow, Milwaukee marches vdlf.org/may-day-2025/

The regime knows it’s messy. The regime knows it’s flailing. The regime knows it’s unsustainable. The regime hopes you don’t believe this, because if you do, the regime knows it will fall.

CONGRATS to our neighbors up north

Hey world, meet your ruler.

When fascism came to your doorstep, what did you do? You’re in control of that answer. Don’t let it be, “Nothing.”

We call all Milwaukee workers to take off work this Thursday morning, and join this march. Read: vdlf.org/may-day-2025/

Developing now: Judge Dugan has since been released. We are calling for a rapid community response: Join Voces de La Frontera at 3 pm at the Federal Building (517 E Wisconsin) to say NO to the charges against Judge Dugan.
