*pragmatic not programmatic

The notion of him being establishment or backed by establishment is absurd. If there really was such an establishment, then why didn’t they clear the field a long time ago instead of allowing this primary to proceed and give voters real choices among a diverse array of candidates?

I’ve known Crowley for 7 years. He’s a programmatic progressive, not a centrist. He’s also never sought to placate others but instead forge his own path. Evers — not the party, not some imagined donor cabal, etc. — admirers him so much he chose endorsed over other people who had served under him.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin — 2026 Named for the silver dollars workers would bring home after a day at the factories in the Menomonee Valley in the 1800s, Silver City has been a diverse neighborhood of Menominee, Potawatomi, Polish, Mexican, Rohingya, & Afghan inhabitants over time.

criticism is he thing but ad hominem attacks and needless animosity is another Worth remembering that every attack will be weaponized in the general

friendly reminder to *everyone* out there that regardless of who your preferred candidate is in the primary we need to unite behind one person in 3 weeks: chill on the friendly fire and let's remember that defeating Tiffany is goal #1

if there’s one thing we can all agree on it’s that way more people are dialed in the Wisconsin gubernatorial race than they were a couple weeks ago, and that’s a good thing

Honest question: how is it rigging if primary voters simply have one additional person they can vote? I am sympathetic to the narrative of centrists targeting DSA types and i think thats stupid and frankly shameful but Crowley getting in is HIS CHOICE. I find the denial of his agency insulting tbh

Yes, I’ll gladly vote for any of the dem candidates, they are all good people who will do a great job as governor.

this is the right take embarrassment of riches on the Dem side while Rs are stuck with Tom Trump Tiffany

Today Milwaukee today had its worst air quality in recorded history with a reading of 566 — above the Environmental Protection Agency's 0-500 AQI scale. Check on your friends and neighbors and stay inside if possible. There are no climate havens. We're all in this together.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin — 80 years ago vs. today In the 1960s the government demolished the Irish neighborhood of Tory Hill (foreground) and the original Red Arrow Park, First Methodist Church & other buildings for the construction of a I-43 and I-94 through the city. Sources: MPL & me
