Republicans in Wisconsin despise Milwaukee. I don’t know why, but they do. They also despise Unions, Union members, and immigrants. Yet tonight, they will cheer on a team from Milwaukee, where every player is a Union member, and some are immigrants. Fucking frauds.

We are saddened beyond expression that we have lost someone, our friend and former road manager, Eric Ruth. Eric died unexpectedly last week in Iowa, where he had moved in 2024, hoping to find a healthier lifestyle than the one he knew in Milwaukee. RIP Eric 😪 – at Milwaukee, WI
