We are excited to announce...HYBRID CONVENTION! Register at wisdems.org/2026conventi.... Zoom links for the caucus meetings, evening program and trainings will be sent to you!

It's already been a busy morning at the @wisdems.org convention! Many thanks to recently elected Viroqua mayor Krista Browne for helping my kids and I get settled. Here's to always working together to making spaces more accessible to everyone.

And, while we’re talking about public schools and public education and for not the first time, food insecurity has come up, here’s a fundraiser that will help MPS students take some food home at the start of summer: www.gofundme.com/f/feed-milwa...

The candidates are discussing teacher retention, which has been a frustrating issue for my kids’ public schools. @francescahong.bsky.social speaking to mentorship in addition to better benefits and pay and supporting a teacher pipeline. 👏

Thanks to @indivisiblesewisc.bsky.social South Shore for organizing this gubernatorial candidate forum on education. Questions on public school funding and mental health support have been discussed so far.

I was today years old when I learned from the Milwaukee Muslim Women’s Coalition Networking Brunch that my alma mater, @grinnellcollege.bsky.social, obeyed in advance and is protecting Zionism. thesandb.com/53950/news/g...

Hi y’all, I’m doing an ama about running for Congress on Reddit from 12-2pm today, 5/21! www.reddit.com/r/milwaukee/...

There is ways something each of us can do. Join the BDS movement. One specific push dear to my @hcw4palestine.bsky.social heart: #BoycottTeva. Let’s take the genocide out of our pill bottles. boycottteva.org

Annual meeting of the @mkedsa.bsky.social happening now! Forever grateful for the ways that Zao MKE has created space for organizing people as I sit in this space with fellow DSA members before we move to our next home.

If you’re trans & born before 2000, when asked who you are you can legit answer: “Do not ask me for a single title, I have crossed millennia under different names and worn more than one form besides. Revered by some and feared by many, I am remembered differently in each age that survives me.”

The discussion at the Common Thread event & the fantastic work of @aartmke.bsky.social has me thinking about the federal gov’t’s role in supporting participatory budgeting. Members of Congress (& candidates 😉) should use their platforms to lift up and support the efforts of their constituencies…

Here at the Marguerite Casey Foundation’s Common Thread conversation with Markasa Tucker-Harris of @aartmke.bsky.social, Robert Kraig of Citizen Action of Wisconsin, Celina Su author of Budget Justice. Talking about people taking back their power over city budgets.

Hope is generated through action.” Abolitionist organizer and author @prisonculture.bsky.social offers a letter to young organizers living through crisis, despair and uncertainty — and argues for hope as a daily discipline.

Jason Collins was a gamechanger. As the first openly-gay man to play in the NBA, he was an important representative for our community—especially to young LGBTQI+ athletes. Our hearts are with Jason's family, friends, and fans in mourning his passing.

We want the data centers that actually serve our communities like public libraries and public schools, not this. Hearing is Monday, 5/18 at 1:30pm at City Hall and virtually. You can also submit testimony to the commission beforehand. shermanpark.org/event/emerge...

At the end of the show, Dorion shared that the Milwaukee Hittaz, local drum corps, need help replacing their sticks and drumheads after loss from the recent flooding ❤️‍🩹 let’s show them love & make sure they reach their goal ASAP! www.facebook.com/share/1LkeBr...

Had the honor of chatting with Dorion Higgins for the Midwest Productions podcast “Facts Over Feelings”! Check it out at www.youtube.com/live/mRE-3xw...

Paraphrasing Amy Goodman, corporate media is not the mainstream media. They are silencing the mainstream, the people who care are the majority and therefore the mainstream. Continue supporting people powered data centers: independent media, libraries, public schools, museums.

Listening to Amy Goodman of @democracynow.org in the talkback after watching @stealthisstory.bsky.social at @mkefilm.bsky.social’s Oriental Theater. Themes of fearlessness, community, people power, the importance of listening to voices that aren’t being invited to speak.

Join AART and our neighbors 5/30 for the launch of our Northwest Side-led food access campaign: #FeedtheChangeMKE. This event will include free food, free giveaways, food-based resources, family activities, and a 12:30 p.m. press conference about our campaign. https://bit.ly/NWSCampaignActions

Single 👏🏻 payer 👏🏻 healthcare 👏🏻 4ever And changing this country also means ending the war machine.

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

It is so incredibly easy collecting signatures for candidates who oppose genocide. All you have to do when someone seems skeptical is mention Palestine solidarity or restricting arms sales and they reach enthusiastically for the pen.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is almost certainly the third-best NBA player of all time. But I think he's also in the top-3 most interesting Americans. Fought Bruce Lee on TV, in our yet-best comedy, convert to Islam, anti-war before it was cool, legendary jazz collection, pretty good writer.

While I’m posting, here’s an important action today: Join MKE Turners and Milwaukee4Palestine and our community to demand MPS get rid of Flock and all other automated license plate readers. You can give public comment, or fill out a form stating your position. City Hall 301-b at 5:30pm.

‘Belonging is connection, cohesion, and civic engagement. And requires that the vital conditions of health and wellness are met.’

Tatiana Maida: “representation matters.” But by itself, it’s not enough. Visibility is scrutiny, code switching and assimilation happens. The experience for many people of color is outsider inside the room. Representation is not *belonging*.

Call to support all the important work that pathfinders does in Milwaukee, supporting young people ❤️ pathfindersmke.org

Milwaukee River this morning #photo #photograph #photography #river #naturelovers #may

I’m grateful to be able to attend the @medicalcollegeofwi.bsky.social Community Engagement Conference. I’m here as a genetic counselor who is committed to community work, but I can’t separate that from all my other hats. “Nothing about us, without us; if not me than who.”

a few yrs ago I donated a kidney. It was a real easy process with no side effects and I got to help a friend out. I wrote this little essay in 2023 about what happened & how you can do it too. The world sucks; organ donation is a way to do something good. defector.com/you-too-can-...

Launch tonight! I’m really excited for the 🚀 group/kid activity we’re planning, and to be in community with everyone. Come sign nomination papers for me, bring nomination papers for your candidate(s), support democracy, eat food, and learn about me!

He’s absolutely terrible, and the whole pedophile, racist, genocidal, greedy, misogynist administration has got to go, now. And: historical & continuing genocide and chattel slavery are absolutely worse. Reparations & land back. We have to heal to move forward with love.

Launch party is finally here! Monday, 4/27, from 5:30-7:30pm. Come for @bintjamilastable and @falconbowlmke, stay to learn about my campaign and why I’m running for #medicareforall, #blockthebombs, and more. www.facebook.com/share/p/1CRH...

Hive mind question! Congressional District 4 includes most of Milwaukee County. Who should I follow, not only in the County and the City of Milwaukee, but in Cudahy, St. Francis, South Milwaukee, West Milwaukee, Glendale, Shorewood, Whitefish Bay, Fox Point, Bayside, and Brown Deer?

As an MPS parent on my kids’ School Engagement Council, thank you for weighing in on this issue & naming root causes. Our kids, schools, & our communities across the state need transparency and accountability in decision making on this scale.

Wish I could be there, but hopefully you can make it! Coalition building, connection, and being in relationship with others is itself an existential threat to the fascism that’s here. We keep us safe.

🥳 congrats @ahalvensleben.bsky.social! I let my hopes get up for the possibility when I heard people talking about you at a New Berlin @francescahongwi.bsky.social Fransgiving event last fall, and through @wisdems.org LGBTQ+ caucus events!!The people of Waukesha and Wisdems are lucky to have you ❤️‍🔥

Perspective check. We are tiny. We are also able to take this photo. Humanity is magical. And worth holding on to.

At the ISM press conference. Janan Najeeb calling out the timing of Salah Sarsour’s detention by ICE in the days after the yellow bird “mission” named him and the signing of the IHRA penalty enhancer bill AB446 by @govevers.wisconsin.gov. The coordination of the Epstein state is clear & terrifying.

Mr. Sarsour is Palestinian. Those of us who name the ¡sraeli apartheid and genocide happening in Palestine know this is why he was targeted. Stand with him and name the genocide and block the bombs, @repgwenmoore.bsky.social.

ICE has detained President of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee, Salah Sarsour. Today (4/2) at 4 PM at the ISM in MKE there will be a press conference in support of Brother Salah. This is a moment for our community to come together, show strength, & demand justice. www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/...

There will be ways we can help Salah Sarsour, a Palestinian community leader and Milwaukeean. But if your political home isn’t actively fighting to end genocide & fits ¡srael under its big tent, then it’s a part of why this happened. No one is free until we all are free. And Palestine will be free.

👏👏👏
