Tim Michels, Republican nominee for Wisconsin Governor, just promised if he wins the GOP will seize permanent control of the state: “Republicans will never lose another election in Wisconsin after I’m elected governor.” (by @lee_moran) huffpost.com/entry/gop-tim-m…

A suggestion for the Westminster Dog Show: crown the winners like they do the feline royalty of the Trempealeau County Fair cat show!

If Roe falls...guess what? We're not going anywhere.
We're finalizing new partnerships to provide transportation and hotel stays for Wisconsinites traveling to Illinois. We're also establishing similar partnerships with Minnesota-based groups.

. @WisconsinDPI awarded more than $3 million in American Rescue Plan Act funding to 10 public libraries and 15 library systems around the state. The result? A hybrid bookmobile and mobile pantry, expanded digital resources and book bikes.📚 wpr.org/wisconsin-libraries-…

It's the 60th anniversary of the Black Nite Brawl, among the first uprisings of LGBTQ folks in the fight for equality—and it happened right here in Milwaukee. We're proud of this history, and I'm proud of the work we're doing to build a state where everyone can live their truth.
Thanks @KealeyBultena @centraltimewpr for featuring the @NEHgov - funded Listening to War oral history project from @RecollectionWi yesterday! Interview with me and @BongVetsCenter curator is here: wpr.org/listening-wisconsins…

For over 20 years, bills that honored Hmong-Lao Veterans have stalled in the legislature; obstructed by a legislative process that did not assign adequate importance to the recognition of Wisconsin’s Hmong-Lao Veterans. The singing of Act 31 by @GovEvers today is so historic.

4 Other times, community is made through a shared experience, like serving in the armed forces. @RecollectionWi in collaboration w/@WisHistory & @WisVetsMuseum preserved oral histories from Wisconsin’s Veterans. recollectionwisconsin.org/li… #PresTC21

False claims that there were more votes than registered voters in Wisconsin this election, or that voter turnout was at nearly 90%, have been circulating online over the last 48 hours. wpr.org/misinformation-sprea…

We did our job as voters by turning out. Now local election officials are doing their job by counting and verifying every ballot. 🧮 #CountEveryVote #DemocracyWins

Accurate election results take time. See how Wisconsin will count ballots on Election Day at vimeo.com/471209210.
Election night is not results night - this election year, results may take a little longer, but that's because every vote counts! @CommonCauseWI

"Don’t let the sun go down on you in this town." We equate these words with the Jim Crow South, but strict racial exclusion was the norm in towns across the US for much of the 20th century. These are entire communities built on racism that for decades were "all white" on purpose.
