Fifteen Democrats are collaborating with fascist Republicans to restrict our freedom of speech and ability to protest Trump’s war at the behest of a genocidal theocratic ethnostate. They each deserve to be primaried based on this alone

First, Jacobson got $25,000 from SSDC. Second, another $33,000 from Senators and other establishment donors, that’s $58,000 directly from SSDC’s endorsement. Meanwhile, Hendrickson’s more modest initial donor base comes from child care provider networks. 

There are a diversity of tactics to opposing ICE. All of the protesting on the ground is important, even when it feels like it isn’t. There is an abundance of shit to stand against in 2026, but we have to keep focused and combine efforts where applicable. “The wrong Amazon is burning. The wrong ICE is melting.”

Stripping affordability from criticism of capitalism and inequality is how centrists will try and steal fire from left populists, and flatten the clear differences between candidates. In the process, they render political discourse meaningless.

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.

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.

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.

Across the country there are stories about “school lunch debt,” a heinous sentence that should give every person a great deal of shame. Children denied lunch because of a $9 debt. There is a wealth of mental health stress that we inflict on children in the name of lunch “fiscal responsibility”.

The Republicans clearly should get whooped next fall. Unfortunately, at the same time they spectacularly and desperately fall apart, Democrats are quietly fizzling. Nationally, they  somehow have even lower approval ratings. The Democratic establishment might be the only people unpopular and inept enough to blow this chance.
