We’re scrappy… and we’re winning. And the only thing better than the Brewers sweeping the series would be if they were publicly owned and not just publicly subsidized! jacobin.com/2026/10/base...

Trump’s obsession with demonizing the Somali community is dangerous and reprehensible. Hate to break it to him: Somali Minnesotans are resilient. We will not let Trump intimidate us. Our neighbors have our back.
Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"
We've received at least one horribly racist voice mail re yesterday's federal raid of @repilhan.bsky.social's house -- thanks for the accidental encouragement, Tracy from Minnesota!!
I strongly condemn the raid carried out earlier today by the Department of Homeland Security on the DC home of Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar (@repilhan.bsky.social) This is a state-sponsored attack against a political enemy, led by a fascist, and it’s a stunt to distract from Trump’s failures.

This is an extension of denying genocide: actively providing protection and cover for those committing it. The first leads to the second, and makes you culpable, when you’re someone in power like @johnfetterman.com. bsky.app/profile/newr...
This is a low point, even for someone as rabidly and irrationally pro-Israel as Fetterman. trib.al/iRA2wl9

Congratulations to @1199seiu.org and the nearly 70,000 CDPAP care workers who filed for the largest union election in American history. These workers make it possible for New Yorkers to live safely and independently at home. I’m proud to stand with them in the fight for a union.
History is in the making! Caregivers like Ingeri dedicate their lives to caring for others. Now, CDPAP caregivers across NYS are voting to join the 1199 family, gaining the support, advocacy, and collective power that make the union difference. @nytimes.com article: digital.1199seiu.org/nytcdpap

Scamming is now one of the largest and most lucrative crimes in the world, fueled by huge advances in AI and cryptocurrency. In a project by The Associated Press and FRONTLINE explain the world of scams, what can be done about them and how to protect yourself.
We can and must do more to combat wage theft. It's an enormous problem -- much bigger than shoplifting, for example. Thank for helping to change that, @mayor.nyc.gov! Read more here: newrepublic.com/post/175343/...
DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.
Join Milwaukee Turners, @acluofwi.bsky.social and many others *today* at 5:30pm in Room 301-B at City Hall. We're demanding an end to any contract between the Milwaukee Police Department and Flock (makers of very hackable "automated license plate readers," ie... networked cameras). (1/2)
Flock's guidance on lobbying city councils makes one thing very clear: these cameras are tools for mass surveillance, and they know it. This flawed, unsecure technology will never be used responsibly by law enforcement. Read more here: www.404media.co/own-the-narr... (2/2)
Reminder: so long as one law enforcement officer in Milwaukee has access to Flock, it will be abused. Passwords will be shared, people will be stalked. And private, actionable info will be shared with ICE too. New City of Milwaukee guidelines are permission slips. bsky.app/profile/404m... (1/3)
NEW: Hackers ripped down a Flock camera above a roadway, made a near-complete copy of the data stored inside it, and shared the files with 404 Media and @wired.com, revealing in new detail how exactly Flock Safety’s cameras track the movements of both vehicles and people.
Thanks to @acluofwi.bsky.social, Milwaukee Turners, and everyone else organizing to slow down and stop mass surveillance in Wisconsin! If you can, please show up tomorrow @ 5:30pm at Milwaukee's City Hall (room 301-B) to testify -- or even just to show your solidarity, in person. (2/3)
More, important info from @acluofwi.bsky.social in a 🧵here: bsky.app/profile/aclu... (3/3)
Upcoming opportunities for Milwaukeeans to get involved in the fight against Flock: 1. Attend a meeting with Flock on the agenda. Thurs. 9/17, 5:30pm: Milwaukee Fire & Police Commission meeting (City Hall, Room 301-B).

The only way we can reverse this trend is by changing the status quo. We have to stop locking up more people, for more crimes, for more time. And we need to shut down torturous facilities like GBCI and Waupun as soon as we can -- our next Governor must take this problem more seriously.
This August, Wisconsin set an all-time record for incarceration in state prisons at 23,854. To put that in perspective, that's enough to fill the entire Fiserv Forum, the new concert venue across the plaza from the arena, and then some.
Democratic socialism is a practical, moral alternative to the status quo. Too many people in power have flexible, negotiable principles -- and the people of Wisconsin have noticed. Link here: (2/3) captimes.com/opinion/gues...

Institutions like this aren't reformable. We must abolish ICE, as soon as possible, and start treating our immigrant and refugee neighbors with the love and respect they deserve. Regardless of their legal statuses.
Text messages and videos obtained by the ACLU show that federal immigration agents who carried out last year’s raids in L.A. referred to Latinos with slurs such as “wet” (wetback) and “tonks,” reportedly derived from the sound a flashlight makes when hitting a migrant’s head.
This is the end result when you mix church and state, defund public schools, and refuse to push back on anti-trans hate. Fascists never stop at the most vulnerable, but they build their power attacking them. There is no compromising with them.
1. School book bans are becoming so extreme in Florida, that one conservative school district is considering removing libraries altogether. Rodger Dailey, Clay County Chief Academic Officer, suggests replacing them with school stores, as literacy rates plummet. Subscribe to support our journalism.

ICE's repeated lies aren't reformable. They're inherent to the agency's purpose: discouraging all immigration by terrorizing immigrants and people of color anywhere and everywhere they can. The violence is the point. ICE must be abolished.
Three men who witnessed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo’s killing by federal immigration officers in Houston disputed the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the shooting and said the victim never attempted to run over a federal agent.
This is both a great consumer protection *and* a boon for affordability -- exactly the kind of policy that all Democrats can and should get behind. @mayor.nyc.gov continues to model democratic socialism as good, deeply principled governance.
BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani announces click-to-cancel rule for NYC. This rule is aimed at guaranteeing New Yorkers can cancel subscriptions as easily as they sign up — and stopping corporations from trapping customers. This will save New Yorkers up to $162.5 million per year.
I’m grateful to be surrounded by, and to be able to advocate with, such an amazing, supportive community. Thank you to TPANAC, Sen. Ratcliff, @fair, Rethinking Schools, Diverse & Resilient, Melissa Bollow Tempel, RJAM, TRAC, Sun-Seeker MKE and so many more. shepherdexpress.com/news/feature...
