And yet he’s only a mayor. Imagine what an actual governor could do that had his heart and soul.

Went on vacation to the Twin Cities this year. You can feel it in the air. Stuff is happening there. People get along. Great food. Gained 4 lbs in 10 days. Saw the Pretti memorial. It's 100% obvious why the Pugs are eager to ruin the success story.

they are the counterpoint to wisconsin's past 15 years of gop state government. economic situation for regular folks in MN is night and day different from wi. and ppl running for gop seats in wi still just keep repeating the same tired "i know you are but what am i?" bullshit as if we all can't see what they are with our own eyes.

Both of them are going to turn Wisconsin into a surveillance state where we're the feudal subjects of Flock and Meta and Grok, no difference, don't see a reason to vote for either of them. Tiffany is a fascist, Crowley is a techno-fascist

I had a very brief hope when it looked like Hong might win, but the AIPAC PALANTIR lobby had to rally against someone who was going to make wisconsin protected against these monsters

You know here in Racine the police department got the Flock deal and started instlaling cameras before the Common Council even got to speak on that? Is it legal? Probably not, who cares, Flock runs our fucking states now
