Yesterday at the Coffee Makes You Black event, Omar came up to me and told me to wanted to meet a judge. I told him we can do better than that. Put my robe on him, told him to work hard & one day I'd welcome him to the bench. This is how we build the future—one child at a time.

And if you thought the dog whistles (on BOTH sides)in the Senate race were bad,wait until the #SCOWIS primary. It doesn't need to be the same.If you see something,say something. We need people to speak up.We see what happens when racism & white supremacy continue to go unchecked

It may take a while for local clerks to report unofficial results on Election Night, even as late as the next morning. Remember, ALL Election Night results are unofficial.

In case you missed it. Check out @blocbyblocMKE's work on @symonemsnbc!
WATCH: @SymoneDSanders sits down with @blocbyblocMKE’s executive director Angela Lang and goes door-to-door with organizers in Milwaukee. Why their work is so important to the community, ahead of these critical 2022 midterm elections.

RoJo gotta go! Vote @TheOtherMandela this Tuesday. H/t @Gwen4Congress
I'm running for Senate for you. Because I know the people in this state: they're my family, my friends, my teachers, and my neighbors. They're people I've never met but whose stories are a lot like mine. My story is a Wisconsin story, and I'll always be in this fight for you.

I have the experience, and vision we need in the Treasurer's office to continue Sarah Godlewski's legacy. I've been building a grassroots campaign for over a year & that's why I'm the most endorsed candidate in the race with the support of 80+ orgs & elected leaders across WI.

Every leader who pushed for this, but especially the ones who have ever claimed to be "progressive", should be ashamed of allowing hate in our city for a quick dollar.
#Milwaukee betrayed: Decision to host the #RNC undermines public safety and normalizes the far-right as @VDLF_Action, @blocbyblocMKE,@NeverAgainWI, @SEIUWI, & @FreedomActNow express disappointment in Milwaukee’s leadership. @MayorOfMKE, @MKE_CC 👀 Read: bit.ly/3Qp3aLc

I just came off the debate stage — what a night! I’m leading the polls in the primary and the general, AND I’m beating Ron Johnson amongst independents. I’m going to beat Ron Johnson this fall.

From up north to MKE’s northside, we stand with & for each other against anyone who seeks to divide us. For years, some WI candidates, their staff & consultants have used veiled language to signal to voters support for policies that explicitly harm BIPOC folks.

On this anniversary of the Civil Rights Act, let us reflect on how our work must be ongoing to build an inclusive and fair country, so everyone has the freedom to live free of discrimination.

We need a massive demonstration of power. Women drive the economy, and we will not allow our fundamental rights to safety, bodily autonomy, and privacy to be stripped away without a fight. I propose a large-scale boycott. We don’t buy ANY NON-essential goods or services for July.

People of color, especially those who have the audacity to be the first, often have to work twice as hard to get half the respect. Judge Jackson, thank you for persevering. You are an inspiration.
