Be bold in your vision and actions. Speak plainly and tell the truth. Show up in real, authentic ways. Get to know folks. And fight like hell for them. It’s really not that complicated.

NEW from @emtseffos.bsky.social: "Less than 48 hours in, while we have seen examples of condolences or grief, too much of the discourse following Mr. Kirk’s death has amounted to points scored in an endless online game." Column: www.therecombobulationarea.news/p/we-have-to...

We have to say “Enough!” and have the courage to mean it

If 2025 is truly the Year of the Kid, don’t settle for anything less than they deserve. Draw the line with this budget — and hold it. My thoughts in this month’s column over at The Recombobulation Area…

Defund, discredit, dismantle: The GOP’s quiet war on Wisconsin’s public schools
The rapid rise of school funding referendums makes it all the more clear that Wisconsin lawmakers need to better invest in public funds for public schools in the next state budget.

I asked my partner a question today. He follows the news. He’s thoughtful, well-informed, kind. I asked: “With everything you know, are you worried?” He said: “Yes.” 1/

Guess who just got elected as Chair of the County Chairs Association with @wisdems.bsky.social & whose sole focus will be supporting our existing infrastructure (county parties what’s uppp?!) to organize in every corner of the state between now and Nov 2026? (Spoiler alert: it’s me) LFG. 👊🇺🇸🔥

lol the same folks whose main argument was that the Dems are beholden to Soros (pretty unfounded, btw) are twisting themselves in all kinds of knots to excuse the billionaire who is literally attempting to buy off Wisconsinites The hypocrisy is maddening.

I went to a listening session last night & was scolded for 10 min by my state senator about the “shitty job” public schools are doing as she made her case for vouchers (even though private schools won’t accept kids like my youngest bc they legally aren’t required to have the supports he needs) 1/

TBH, I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that part of me wants to tune out and turn away from this moment, this trajectory we’re seemingly on. But I’d be lying as well if I didn’t see in each of us the potential we have to change all of it. To chart a new path, together. Read my guest column here:

Huge gratitude for the work @benwikler has done here in Wisconsin - he’s led @WisDems well, raising over $200 million during his time. We’ve got so much work to do (and I’m still convinced that the grassroots is where we make inroads in WI), so here’s my hope for the next DPW chair: 1/
