Turns out, juggling a soccer ball is a lot like running for office — it takes balance, focus, and a little help from your team.

FUCK ICE.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

When childcare falls through, parents lose shifts, miss class, and fall behind. It’s not just stressful — it’s unsustainable.

Investing in universal childcare means taking care of all our kids and making sure every Wisconsinite can show up for work, school, and for their community.

What am I supposed to do without 2 weeks of childcare?

Public dollars belong in public schools. Vote for Hong

Francesca Hong 홍윤정 @francescahongwi.bsky.social · 1d

Public dollars belong in public schools.

Fran knows that vouchers are a scam. Support public education. Vote Hong for Governor.

Hong is WI next governor

Tom Tiffany is an extremist who cares more about enacting Donald Trump’s agenda than building a better future for working people.
He can delete whatever he wants from his website — the people of Wisconsin know he is and we see right through his BS.

Makes sense. After all, why would we want public health experts to weigh in on matters of… checks notes… public health. 🙄

Universal childcare, fully funded public schools. and transformative investment in long-term care and the care economy — being practical doesn't mean settling for less.

Vote for Hong for WI governor

About $25 billion annually could end child hunger in the US.

About $20 billion could house folks with housing vouchers.

We gave $170 billion to ICE in the big ugly bill.

Instead of feeding children and housing families, our tax dollars are going to terrorize communities.

There’s nothing more Wisconsin than tailgating. But the cost of burgers, brats and beers have gotten out of hand. We can support our small businesses and make tailgating more affordable for all Wisconsinites.

We’re building a movement – and movements don’t run on money alone. They're run by the people.

If you believe in a Wisconsin rooted in care, community and working-class power, we need you on this team.

Tom Tiffany just jumped into the race for governor. The choice couldn’t be clearer.
While I work for the people, he works for Donald Trump.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

#IMLS couldn’t come to #ALAAC25.
Someone needs to stand up for libraries.

The empty IMLS booth at the the American Library Association conference in Philadelphia. It is a blue drape with two signs. They read: “INSTITUTE OF MUSEUM AND
LIBRARY SERVICES”
And
“IMLS Can't Be Here.
So We Need To Show Up For Our Libraries.”
