A legal observer in Cold Spring urged us to share that on 2/5, an ICE agent threatened to kill them. The agent purposely stood in front of their car and used the bogus fear of being hit to justify the threat. As the news cycle turns its eye away from MN, we will not forget.

Big news: Today's Marquette Law School Poll shows our campaign leading the Democratic field for governor.

Support has nearly doubled since October.

We're outperforming candidates with more than double the statewide name recognition. And Wisconsin voters are coming around on issues we've been fighting for, like Al data center regulation, standing up to authoritarianism and ICE brutality, and keeping cost of living front and center.

This is solid proof that our message is breaking through. But we've got a long way to go, and we need your help to keep this momentum going.

Donate today to keep us in the fight!

In 1970, Ohio National Guard troops opened fire on unarmed college students protesting the Vietnam War at Kent State University. Four protesters were killed in cold blood. The public's reaction at the time feels disturbingly familiar.

“Did any of that seem ‘defensive’ to you?” @barelyinfo.bsky.social shows how absurd DHS & Bovino’s lies are about the killing of Alex Pretti. (He thinks the ICE agent who took his guy accidentally shot it and started the shooting… at which point they shot Alex 10 times in cold blood)

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️
Scatterplot titled “Empirical Evidence of Ideological Targeting in Federal Layoffs: Agencies seen as liberal are significantly more likely to face DOGE layoffs.”
	•	The x-axis represents Perceived Ideological Leaning of federal agencies, ranging from -2 (Most Liberal) to +2 (Most Conservative), based on survey responses from over 1,500 federal executives.
	•	The y-axis shows Agency Size (Number of Staff) on a logarithmic scale from 1,000 to 1,000,000.

Each point represents a federal agency:
	•	Red dots indicate agencies that experienced DOGE layoffs.
	•	Gray dots indicate agencies with no layoffs.

Key Observations:
	•	Liberal-leaning agencies (left side of the plot) are disproportionately represented among red dots, indicating higher layoff rates.
	•	Notable targeted agencies include:
	•	HHS (Health & Human Services)
	•	EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)
	•	NIH (National Institutes of Health)
	•	CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau)
	•	Dept. of Education
	•	USAID (U.S. Agency for International Development)
	•	The National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE), despite its conservative leaning (+1 on the scale), is an exception among targeted agencies.
	•	A notable outlier: the Department of Veterans Affairs (moderately conservative) also faced layoffs despite its size.

Takeaway:

The figure visually demonstrates that DOGE layoffs disproportionately targeted liberal-leaning agencies, supporting claims of ideological bias. The pattern reveals that layoffs were not driven by agency size or budget alone but were strongly associated with perceived ideology.
