Prison and Politics
As in 2018, the humanitarian crisis in Wisconsin prisons could play a big part in Wisconsin’s 2026 governor and legislative races. It should be easy to create a strong contrast with the absurd and inhumane Republican position, but Democratic candidates will have to distance themselves from eight disastrous years of Democratic control of the DOC under Tony Evers.
Don’t hate the Democratic Party become the Democratic Party
You can get involved in the remaking of the Democratic Party at every level and every opportunity afforded to us. From Fran Hong’s race for governor, to upcoming County Board races, to the internal Democratic Party elections on November 17. There are only a few days left to join the party and vote for the change candidate, Amy Donahue.
Lyft is trying to buy the MN Mayoral Race
Big tech. What seemed once to perhaps be the beacon of progressive reform with tools and technological advances, has become the shadowbroker for the worst parts of our lives. These fucking “disruptors” keep finding new ways to make everything worse. Rideshares are terrible for reasons that you probably already know, but now Lyft is spending over a million dollars to sway the Mayoral and City Council Elections in Minneapolis. Interestingly… Minneapolis is not in Wisconsin, so what gives?
The New Faces of the Wisconsin GOP
The dramatic resignation of Wisconsin GOP treasurer Kelly Ruh last week gave us a window into generational dysfunction in our state’s Republican Party. An attempted mutiny of the old guard by young, Turning Point USA-aligned newcomers shatters the illusion of a strong and unified GOP in Wisconsin. This weakness in their ranks means they can be defeated; it is vital that we keep this in mind as we organize on the left. Let us learn more about these mutineers – who are these new faces trying to take over the Wisconsin GOP?
Childcare Providers Respond to Evers' Childcare Budget Fail
Republicans immediately junked Evers’ modest and inadequate proposal. Rather than holding them accountable, Evers is celebrating the scraps. Giving Republicans credit when all they did was interfere with vital necessities a little less is not only dishonest, it’s also politically stupid.
Change is coming to Milwaukee County Democratic Party
Democratic Party of Milwaukee County is currently led by two very conservative, stagnant, old guard figures: Chris Sinicki and Dawn Martin. Under their “leadership” our county clocked the second lowest ratio of party members to Democrat voters in Wisconsin. Sinicki has gone hard after Democrats who don’t toe her conservative, pro-genocide line.

Wisconsin’s Next Governor
We’re betting that Francesca Hong will not only re-invigorate disillusioned Democrats and left activists to whoop her milquetoast rivals in the primary, but will also tap into anti-elite sentiment across the political spectrum to clobber Tiffany in the general. It looks like she’s got a good start on both.
