Now boarding at #TrumpAirport: Executive Errorways, nonstop service to “The Islamic Republic of Japan.” No maps. No facts. No apologies. Just buckle up and enjoy the geopolitical turbulence. ✈️🤣
Thank you, 20,000 followers! 😲🥰 What started as one stubborn Wisconsin journalist, a laptop, and way too much coffee has grown into an incredible community. Thank you for reading, sharing, commenting, and caring about this state as much as I do. ❤️☕
#WeEnergies' #DataCenter tariff hits the grid today. Regulators blocked a 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 forcing you to fund 25% of Big Tech’s power build, mandating a 15-yr lock. Ratepayers won this round, but the utility is still clawing for a 14% residential rate hike by 2028. #Wisconsin
#Wrightstown Mark your calendars for the #DataCenter meeting coming this Tuesday. 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟲𝘁𝗵, 𝟰𝗣𝗠 - 𝟳𝗣𝗠 352 High Street Wrightstown, WI Make your voices heard! 💪🏽📢 #Wisconsin

WISCONSIN!!!!!!!!! WE DID IT!!!!!! I am in tears. 😭Chris Taylor wins the Supreme Court race! Let's rejoice!!! 🥳💃🏽🎉 #ChrisTaylorWins #SupremeCourt #Wisconsin #Bluewave
Wisconsin, the polls are open. 🗳️ Voting is how we push back, protect what matters, and begin building the future we actually want. This Supreme Court race is a big one for our state, and showing up today is part of that bigger fight. Go do your civic duty. 𝗩𝗼𝘁𝗲. #Wisconsin #ChrisTaylor4SupremeCourt
𝗪𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗻: still need to register? You can do that 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗮𝘆. Still holding your 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘁? It must be 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗸’𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗯𝘆 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲. This is the “no more messing around” part. Let's do this! 💪🏽 #Wisconsin #VoteWI #WisconsinElection #SpringElection
𝗧𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄 is Election Day, Wisconsin. This is our moment to show up—for our communities, our future, and each other. Every vote matters. Every voice counts. Make a plan. Bring a friend. Be proud of showing up. Let’s do this. #Wisconsin
𝗪𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿: by 𝟱:𝟬𝟬 𝗣𝗠 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟯, you must 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗸’𝘀 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲 if you still need to register. That’s also the deadline for 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝘃𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 to have an 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱 by the clerk. #Wisconsin #SpringElection
Wisconsin, it’s our turn to show up. If you’ve been frustrated, worried, tired, or just plain fed up, this is where you put it somewhere useful: your vote. Early voting hours 𝘷𝘢𝘳𝘺 by location, so check yours, make a plan, and get to it. #Wisconsin #Vote #SpringElection2026
𝗪𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿: if you still need an 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘁, your request must be 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗸 𝗯𝘆 𝟱:𝟬𝟬 𝗣𝗠 𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟮 (𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆). Not postmarked. 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱. The deadline fairy is not coming to save anybody. #Wisconsin #VoteWI #WisconsinElection #SpringElection
Lucy E. Smith Morris didn’t “join a ladies’ club” — she built a statewide organizing machine. From Berlin, Wisconsin, she helped turn the Wisconsin Federation of Women’s Clubs into real policy pressure for libraries, education, and civic reform. #Wisconsin #LucyESmithMorris #WomensHistoryMonth
Yesterday’s No Kings march in downtown Appleton was a good one. I met some really nice people, caught a bit of footage, and walked away feeling something we could all use more of right now: Solidarity. #Wisconsin #Appleton #NoKings
Electa Quinney helped make public education real in Wisconsin. In 1828, she opened a tuition-free school near Kaukauna, teaching like every kid mattered—because they did. Access is the whole point. #Wisconsin #WomensHistoryMonth #IndigenousHistory #Wisconsin #ElectaQuinney
Wisconsin gave the world “Hildegarde” — the OG one-name superstar. Born in Adell/New Holstein, sharpened in Milwaukee, then she went full glam and owned cabaret, radio, and TV. Proof we’ve always produced legends. 👏✨#Wisconsin #Hildegarde #WomensHistoryMonth
Milele Chikasa Anana didn’t just “make history” — she made Wisconsin move. In 1974, she became the first Black person elected to a WI school board, pushed for fair hiring at City Hall, and built UMOJA so Black Wisconsin stories couldn’t be erased. #WomensHistoryMonth #Wisconsin #MileleChikasaAnana
Nancy Zieman didn’t just teach sewing—she made it doable. From Oshkosh to Wisconsin Public Television, Sewing With Nancy turned living rooms into little classrooms, and Beaver Dam into part of a national craft story. 🧵 #Wisconsin #WomensHistoryMonth #PublicMedia #PBS #Sewing #Makers
Spring finally showed up, and honestly… it’s about time. Here’s to longer light, softer days, and a little more room to breathe. Welcome, Spring. 🌱 #Wisconsin #WelcomeSpring #OpenTheWindows #FreshAir #LongerDays
Georgia O’Keeffe didn’t start in the desert—she started in Wisconsin farm country. Born near Sun Prairie (1887), with early schooling in Madison, she went on to help define American modernism. #WomensHistoryMonth #Wisconsin #GeorgiaOKeeffe
𝗪𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿: T𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 to register 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 or get your voter registration 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 with proof of residence. Miss this, and your options get narrower real fast. Do not let paperwork be the thing that benches your vote. #Wisconsin #VoteWI #WisconsinElection #SpringElection
Maureen Arcand made Wisconsin fairer the hard way: organizing, fighting stigma, defending human services, and pushing real ADA access in Dane County. Less talk, more ramps, rights, and results. #WomensHistoryMonth #Wisconsin #MaureenArcand #MadisonWI #DisabilityRights #CommunityPower
𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿, 𝗪𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗻: 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘁𝘀 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗯𝘆 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 to voters who already have an active request on file. If you requested one, keep an eye on your mailbox and make your plan now. 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴. #Wisconsin #WisconsinElection #VoteWI #SpringElection

Belle Case La Follette: UW Law’s first woman grad (1885), legal-brief badass, and the suffrage road warrior who cranked out speeches like it was a cardio program. Also: zero patience for “stay in your lane.” Wisconsin legend. #WomensHistoryMonth #Wisconsin #BelleCaseLaFollette
Helen Farnsworth Mears: Oshkosh-born, Wisconsin-made legend. Her “Genius of Wisconsin” helped define the state’s image, and her Frances Willard statue was the first sculpture of a woman in National Statuary Hall. That’s history with backbone. #WomensHistoryMonth #Wisconsin #HelenFarnsworthMears
