This will prob feed takes that the Wisconsin gubernatorial race is a mess or a dumpster fire or whatever, but what that narrative leaves out is that the consistent front runner, @francescahongwi.bsky.social has run a drama free campaign, stayed above the fray, and built a massive volunteer network.

At an end of camp celebration today, one group performed a song which featured one kid each on cello, ukulele and trumpet. As they set up, I overheard one parent whisper to another "damn, that's like half an Arcade Fire."

By all accounts, WI Gubernatorial Election Discourse is gonna hit a fever pitch, so here's my suggestion: Choose a candidate you like, and if you want, make a case for them! Just don't do weird punditry stuff about "electability" and "momentum" and whatever. Boring and dumb, usually.

Political imagination is believing not only that we don’t have to live in a world where government employees murder parents in their cars, but that there could easily be a world where government employees ensure that every family is clothed and fed and housed and loved.

Isn't there something comforting about life's little certainties? You know, like knowing that no matter the horrors of the world, every day the sun will rise and set and The Times will run a column saying that Dems should be more evil to trans people and immigrants www.nytimes.com/2026/07/14/o...
