Milwaukee Beagle

We’re an anticapitalist, antiauthoritarian publication fighting the bad guys and helping the good ones in Milwaukee, WI. milwaukeebeagle.com
@rconniff.bsky.social did you look at Rebecca Cooke’s finance reports? They look similar to the ones that wrecked Sara Rodriguez’s campaign.
I sorta thought of @thebadgerproject.org as a more serious project of professional journalists than what we do. But this hit piece on Hong they emailed me today disabused me of that assumption. thebadgerproject.org/2026/07/14/c...
Tonight, some friends are doing a fundraiser for our favorite candidate in south west WI, Corrine Hendrickson. Come out, bring kids, music, fun, organizing! Learn more about this race: www.milwaukeebeagle.com/blog/fightin...
Tomorrow night, get out and get ready for community self defense against increased ICE activity in Milwaukee!
At the Walnut Way governor forum. Lots of people here. No Tom Tiffany. Highlights only today, but I’ll try to catch any slippery or otherwise statements.
Tonight is the first of three socialist fundraisers this primary. Hong for governor. Clancy, Liners, Phelps for state assembly. Donahue for Congress. Don’t be jealous of New York, boost the socialism that’s already active here in Wisconsin! WeSocialists.com
Some additional thoughts about the WISDOM forum… 1. There were a lot of people in the audience. 2. Missy Hughes dropped out of the race, but there were still six Democrats and one Republican on the stage. 3. Crowley, Barnes, and Rodriguez all still think they can have it both ways.
At the Voces de ls Frontera governor forum. Got here late, excited to see only 4 candidates on the stage.
Indivisible education forum for governor candidates… everyone is blue tinted?
Here at Milwaukee Beagle we measure “electability” by the number and diversity of benefit shows volunteers organize for a candidate.
The Journal Sentinel really wants more conservative subscribers, eh? Looking at their saturation coverage of the thing GOP is most fixated on, you’d think Kirk Bangstad was the Democratic Party chair and not just a marginal, attention-grabbing, sad, desperate, weirdo.
What it looks like what Tom Tiffany organizes a meet up. www.milwaukeebeagle.com/blog/whos-af...
What other candidate for governor: 1. Has a rock show benefit thrown for them. 2. Gets up on stage with less than ten minutes preparation to sing with a band. 3. Fucking nails it. 4. Has the most thoroughly articulated and progressive policy positions. Who? Why would you fuck with anyone else?
We're tail-waggy excited that Amy Donahue stepped up to challenge Gwen Moore! Also hearing that they are going to run a truly different kind of campaign, starting with this launch party event! www.facebook.com/share/1BDMy6...
I live in wi. Our primary was Aug 13. The nomination was secured five months before I had any say in it. I voted uninstructed, we were ignored entirely by the party. A Zionist genocide freak named Ann jacobs with sway in our local party dictated which delegates would go to Chicago from here.
What are the safeguards preventing Trump from nuking Tehran tonight?
Here’s the link, if you need it. law.marquette.edu/poll/ If you scroll down, you’ll find this. This would have to be wildly inaccurate if there were only 2 people who actually distrust democrats, which is what you said.
Good fuckin’ riddance. May all the pro genocide, pro detention, anti speech Zionist leave the Democratic Party and join the fascist far right. It’s where they align ideologically and where they belong.
Are you ready for a bunch of undeserved coverage for a mediocre white guy running for governor purely on his whiteness, guyness, and mediocrity? There's gonna be A LOT of this shit heading our way soon, WI. Brace for it. wisconsinexaminer.com/2026/03/26/w...
Parents across our city wept last night as they learned of Superintendent Cassilius cutting hundreds of student-facing positions. She misled us to protect funds for central office admin from the impact of state govt defunding education. Govt at all levels have failed Milwaukee students.
Some curious artifacts from last night's DPMC Gala... 1. Sarah Godlewski is SERIOUS about improving sex education in Wisconsin (or at least her copy editor must think she is)! 2. What happened here? The program does not list her, but Congresswoman Gwen Moore spoke.
Who wants to bet on how much longer Missy Hughes stays in the governor race?
Stop calling shit bipartisan you weak-willed loser @govevers.wisconsin.gov This bill was wrenched out of the Republican assembly leadership against their will. Actual Democrats who actually fight for us introduced it as an amendment on every bill to shame the gop into accepting it.
This is the second proposed amendment. There’s a proposed amendment to the amendment, which is to put a period after “abolishing ICE” and striking the rest of that sentence. This passed with 20 yeses.
We’re now doing platform amendments. These are the suggested amendments…
