Nvidia just issued the largest stock buyback in history. It’s a great way for them to recirculate profits, drive up their share price, and make more money for their wealthy shareholders and investors.

As the violence from our federal government increases and gets closer to home, I'm getting the sense that more folks are realizing things are not normal. There is no precedent for where we are. There is also no precedent for what happens next.

Are we pulling the ladder behind us? Or are we holding it steady for the next generation? Every child deserves a quality public education so they are ready to lead us out of the hellscape we are currently in.

More and more folks are joining the call to end the hyper-scale handout for data centers. The sales tax exemption that was authored and championed by Republicans + Tony Evers is projected to cost Wisconsinites over $2 billion in lost revenue.

Earlier this month, I ran a few miles with Ben Brist around my old stomping grounds in Greenfield. Ben is an army veteran running to represent the 61st assembly district and is picking up momentum to defeat right-wing extremist, Bob Donovan.

Republicans are making life unlivable, unaffordable, and unpredictable. Never again with these fascists.

Imagine what we could accomplish if people’s voices mattered more than the greed of the wealthy.

Every day it becomes clearer that Trump, Republicans, and the immoral billionaires that fuel their campaigns believe that everyone is just as corrupt and morally bankrupt as they are.

It turns out that Netanyahu was warned, in shockingly specific terms, about October 7 — and not only chose to do nothing, but hid the warning from the people who could have stopped it www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Netanyahu got an explicit warning before Oct. 7. He didn't brief security chiefs
In September '23, UAE President bin Zayed called Netanyahu to deliver a harsh warning. Netanyahu did nothing. An extensive investigation, conducted for a new book, reveals the PM's failures surroundin...

When this is all done, everything that Donald Trump is naming after himself should be renamed after Dolly Parton. Our great unifier. The People’s Dolly.

Public money should come with public accountability. Unfortunately, for 37 years, Wisconsin’s private voucher experiment has taken over a billion in public money but has had limited public oversight.

Hyper-scale data centers shouldn't be getting any more tax breaks to be built in Wisconsin. We estimated to be forgoing $1.5 billion for the construction phase of 4 data centers and an ongoing annual cost of $350 million. We should end it put the money into improving our public schools.

Despite all the bullsh*t, I still believe in @francescahongwi.bsky.social and everything we dared to dream together. We may not have achieved the victory we wanted. But, we showed the power of the grassroots movement is stronger than anyone imagined.

From your perspective, what do you think just happened in the Democratic Primary for Governor? How do you feel about it? How do we best move forward?

It's Election Day across Wisconsin! Vote for big solutions, not big money! Francesca Hong for Wisconsin!

The Republican embrace of fascism is a wake-up call. You can either answer it or hit the snooze button and hope you have more time. The Democratic Primary is Tuesday. Polls are open 7am-8pm.

Chris Larson @chrisjlarson.bsky.social · 07/08/2026
Tony Evers decided to divide the Democratic party precisely at the moment when we most need to be united, just because folks asked him not to run again. Regardless of what happens Tuesday, we must reunite to win in November.

Today is another good day to support Francesca Hong to be our next Governor.

Chris Larson @chrisjlarson.bsky.social · 29/07/2026
Fran can and will win because she is listening to exactly what the people across Wisconsin are demanding: a moratorium on data centers, standing up to big money insiders, and delivering the solutions that meet the moment on childcare, healthcare, public ed, criminal justice, and affordability.

Chris Larson @chrisjlarson.bsky.social · 29/07/2026
In the debate tonight, Francesca Hong showed exactly why she's winning this race. She is the fighter Wisconsin needs to push back against AI data centers, fully fund public education, wind down the broken voucher system, and push back against the corrupt Trump agenda of Tom Tiffany.

sneaky backroom deals like this are exactly why we need a data center moratorium in Wisconsin.

If someone claims to be a law enforcement officer but is refusing to confirm their identity and their law enforcement authority, what reasonable person would treat them as a legitimate law enforcement officer?

If we wanted a milquetoast candidate who is going to cave to Republicans on public education and push for more data centers, we would have just kept Tony Evers as our nominee.

Chris Larson @chrisjlarson.bsky.social · 18/07/2026
Anyone publicly declaring that a candidate with strong moral conviction and clear policy goals can't win against Tom Tiffany is just showing that they don't have strong moral convictions and clear policy goals.

Chris Larson @chrisjlarson.bsky.social · 17/07/2026
All of the ups and downs of the Democratic primary aside, it’s important to remember that Tom Tiffany is a corporate shill who has done nothing to stand up against the most corrupt president in history. Anyone who comes out of the Democratic primary can and will win the general election.

When Democrats win the majority, I will work as hard as I can to ensure a quality public education for every child. Failure to invest in our kids is a failure of a better future for all of us.

Another state-sanctioned murder by a corrupt and out of control agency and administration. If ICE can’t operate without continuing to murder people, they shouldn’t operate at all.

It would be fantastic to have two major parties taking a firm stance against war crimes and seeking programs that help people. Instead, we have a party seeking peace, universal health care, and taxing the rich to ensure the most people can have a life worth living and the power is with the people.

"Pulling yourself up by your bootstraps" is literally impossible. The wealthy are mocking you when they tell you to do it and you didn't even know it. So next time someone says it, kindly smile and request that they demonstrate how easy it is.

The reason things are getting more expensive is because Republicans care more about war profiteers than you. End the war with Iran.

What's helpful about Trump's $1.776 billion slush fund for insurrectionists who tried to overthrow our country is that Republican Rep. Tom Tiffany decided to let all Wisconsin voters know that he was open to it before a federal court shut it down on Friday.
