I talked to my 6 year old at dinner on Tuesday broadly about what Trump had said, because he had heard some things and the news was playing on the restaurant tv. He burst into tears until I told him we are fighting to keep him and all kids safe and that he's helped me do that.

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

Just heard about this amazing moment. @senlouiselucas.bluesky.bot (mirroring from that other site) is a political role model queen.
Dear Congress: checks and balances only work if each of the coequal branches of gov’t use their Constitutional authority.
You have the power to stop wars, end illegal tariffs, and impeach and remove any President who fails to live up to their oath.
If you care about America at all, do your job!
Horrifying. Jesus Lord in heaven.
Mike Thurow, an independent running as an economic populist in a similar lane to Dan Osborne and Graham Platner might be Wisconsin’s best chance to defeat Glenn Grothman in his very gerrymandered district.
In a few hours we will be live reporting from his launch event!
Listening to Rev. Jennifer at the Interfaith Conference tell us to resist fear in the face of authoritarianism. I believe this includes the fear within groups that established processes won’t work and we need establishment to just take charge. So: fight for primaries, not against them!!
Centrist democrats are dumping big money in the primary against voter wishes to keep compassionate, motivated activists out of office.

Second, what's going on @wisdems.org and @christaylorwi.bsky.social ?
There's only six weeks before the SCOWI race and two thirds of voters are undecided, only 6% said they've heard a lot about it? That's waaay behind 2025 numbers. Get to work.
Had a great meeting today with nurses from the 14th Assembly District to talk about expanding access to care, supporting our health care workforce, and making sure patients and providers have what they need to thrive. Thank you to the nurses who show up every day for our community!
“Patients most at risk – disabled people, people seeking reproductive care, BIPOC communities, immigrants – pay the price.“

Great legislative advocacy handout from the Milwaukee Turners:
I’m headed to Madison for this, too! But probably won’t be live updating. Glad to have the Beagle.

Genocide.
At the Milwaukee @wisdems.org office listening to @francescahong.bsky.social not only speaking truth to power, but talking about how she’ll use executive power with and for us all. Workforce, education, childcare, AI, environment, healthcare, etc etc etc. and she has the policies and strategies.
Centrists, your time is up!
Take your genocide denial and corporate money somewhere else, hang your heads in shame.
Check out this thread and if you're in any of the districts that @milwaukeebeagle.bsky.social calls out in the thread, PLEASE PRIMARY THEM or help find someone else to! We need choices in order to have the conversations that lead us out of fascism into something better.
Don’t believe the hype from Milwaukee’s elected “leaders”. They’re too scared and compliant to actually stand up to ICE.

Ramadan Mubarak to everyone observing.
This is a month of reflection, discipline, generosity, and community. A reminder that justice and compassion are not abstract values, but daily practices.
May this month bring renewal and a lighter year ahead.
NEW: I podcasted with @angelalang8.bsky.social.
We had a lot to talk about.

Israeli-American author and activist Miko Peled told Drop Site News the gov't.'s Religious Liberty Commission hearing was not about combating antisemitism but about equating anti-Zionism w/ antisemitism. He says Israel dominated the discussion because the goal was to sideline anti-Zionist & non-...
