No sobran emigrantes, sobran fascistas, sobran todos los fascistas.

Please, stop sharing unverified rumors. They cause panic and real harm in our community. If you see suspected ICE activity, call 1 (800) 427-0213 and let Voces de la Frontera and Comité Sin Fronteras do the verification and notification work. www.jsonline.com/story/news/l...

FACT: Wisconsin's state & local taxes as a % of income are at an all-time low for the 2nd year running. So why are people so upset about taxes? The answer is simple - WI is a regressive tax state, meaning that the less money you make the higher your combined state+local effective tax rate.

Here's @chalipittman.bsky.social's roundup of all the bills being considered today in the Wisconsin State Legislature. From Civic Media Today: civicmediatoday.substack.com/p/civic-medi...

Abolish DHS. If you can imagine a world before Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, you can imagine a world without the Department of Homeland Security. My latest at @startribune.com. (gift link)

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

Minutes after Alex Pretti was murdered, the people of Minneapolis showed up — sick of our neighbors being kidnapped and assassinated, and full of righteous anger. 🎥 Matteo, Schaffer 🎞️ Schaffer 🦺 James E, Mackenzie D

“We find ourselves in a very difficult moment, a moment of grief, a moment of witnessing the apartheid and the genocide unfolding in a way that we had never imagined before. But at the same time, we recognize that Palestine has never given up. Palestine will never give up.” - Angela Davis

Happy Birthday, Angela Davis!

We will not be silent. We will continue to organize and fight for our communities! Read more here: www.jsonline.com/story/news/l...

416 school shootings since 2000 and these ghouls couldn't find a single exception to the second amendment until someone was mean to them.

“He was a calm presence amid hospital chaos. A mentor who taught kindness and patience to younger friends and colleagues. A singer with a knack for dancing. A bicyclist who treasured the beauty of Minnesota… He was the kind of nurse patients remembered, colleagues said, and he was a beloved mentor”

Please call Voces de la Frontera's ICE verifier phone number at 1-800-427-0213 if you need to confirm a rumor about ICE activity OR you witness potential ICE activity in the Milwaukee area. We need to be prepared in MKE -- that requires minimizing misinformation and panic. bsky.app/profile/byma...

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

No family should have to choose between keeping a roof over their heads and risking being kidnapped by ICE. Evict ICE, not us.

hi! i would like to reup my request for ANY AND ALL PEOPLE FIGHTING DATA CENTERS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES TO PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME i am now covering data center conflicts for @heatmap.news my email is [email protected]

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

The government’s role in healthcare is to make it accessible & create conditions for moving our understanding of health forward. That’s it. The government is not a healthcare provider. Health system administrators have the power to stand up for their patients & providers and are choosing not to.

Just minutes ago I joined @repgreta.bsky.social and my Democratic colleagues to demand the majority immediately restore transparency to the Wisconsin state legislature and fully fund WisconsinEye. (1/3)

Attacking our kids, and complying with those attacks, is harmful and cowardly. www.jsonline.com/story/news/h...

‘Teaching us how to grow with our babies’: How prisons allow mothers and infants to nest for months. @amandavhernan.bsky.social reports for @stateline.org

one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny

Air pollution kills over 100,000 people every year in the U.S., about 5 times all homicide combined. But you won't see wall-to-wall coverage of Trump's deadly announcement. The *volume* of news coverage affects who and what we are afraid of, and which larger threats we ignore.

Back in October, we released our updated Conditions of Confinement bills, written in partnership with people who've experienced incarceration. As we work to end mass incarceration, these policies will help alleviate the terrible, inhumane conditions in Wisconsin's jails and prisons. (1/4)

Flock cameras are *already* being used and misused by law enforcement: here, a Greenfield officer allegedly used one to spy on his own spouse, mid-divorce. This is an urgent privacy issue, but it's also a distraction from real solutions to public safety. www.aclu-wi.org/news/what-th...

At least 30 people have died in ICE custody in less than a year under the current administration. With the massive increase in detainments, conditions inside ICE detention facilities will only get worse, leading to even more deaths.

Milwaukee's first Christmas came in the early 1830s...

Today, I was proud to work collaboratively with @ryanclancywi.bsky.social, Rep. Francesca Hong, and @senchrislarson.bsky.social to introduce a package of bills that confront the affordability and property tax crisis in Wisconsin head on. (1/5)

I'm thrilled that Rep. Francesca Hong, Sen. LaTonya Johnson, Rep. Andrew Hysell and so many of my Democratic colleagues are continuing the fight to make paid family and medical leave a reality. Watch here: www.wmtv15news.com/video/2025/1...

This week, with Citizen Action of Wisconsin, Representative Francesca Hong, and many others, we released a bill creating a 2% income cap on utility bills for the people of WI who need it most. Here are my remarks from Tuesday’s energetic rally at the People’s House (the Wisconsin State Capitol!)

Union busting is disgusting. These workers deserve a fair contract — Starbucks needs to work in good faith to make it happen. Meanwhile, workers are calling for all of us to boycott Starbucks during the strike. Don’t cross the picket line! bsky.app/profile/more...

The 2% Rate Cap Bill that Rep. Francesca Hong and I just introduced will cap monthly utility payments at 2% of income — for every household in Wisconsin. Period. As it is phased in, this becomes a universal, automatic protection. No hoops. No humiliation. No one having to beg for relief. (1/2)

We are so excited to propose a 2% cap on utility bills for households in Wisconsin who need it most. This directly confronts the affordability crisis in Wisconsin, providing direct relief for those struggling with spiraling energy costs.

On Day 27 of Republicans' federal government shutdown, Wisconsin OCI released new data showing many Wisconsinites will be forced to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars more each month for their healthcare coverage if Republicans don't extend Affordable Care Act tax credits.

Trump promised he would reduce the burden of food insecurity faced by communities across the country. But ten months in, our communities are facing a deeper food apartheid: a sudden lack healthcare access, and a federal governmental shut down due to his Administration's cruel indifference. (1/6)

Today, we met with superintendents and board members from the Nicolet Union, Glendale-River Hills, Maple Dale-Indian Hill, and Fox Point-Bayside school districts to talk about protecting and strengthening public education for *every* student. It’s an ongoing, difficult, open conversation.
