Representative Ryan Clancy

Let's be very clear: if intentional, U.S. and/or Israel targeting a water treatment plant is a war crime.

When I joined as the head engineer of the Torment Nexus project, it was to work on fascinating technical problems and make the world a better place along the way. I am appalled to discover that the Torment Nexus would be used this way and, now that my options have vested, will be leaving the project

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

Just a wonderful conflagration of things I adore, between @margaret.bsky.social , @rebelgrrlraechel.bsky.social, sex worker rights and history, and union organizing.

You simply must listen.

Also, you know, support @casw304.bsky.social, @swaidcollective.bsky.social, @swop-usa.bsky.social, etc.!

Milwaukee living has become unaffordable for too many people | Opinion A household now needs an income of at least $134,000 to live comfortably in Milwaukee. Brew City is one of the country's 20 most expensive cities.

In the first half of 20th Century, socialists helped make Milwaukess an affordable, comfortable, well-governed place. Now, there's been a fundamental change to the character of this city. www.jsonline.com/story/opinio...

I’m grateful to live in a community with so many helpers. Thanks to the many first time observers at today’s Milwaukee's International Women's Day Coalition march, and for the Milwaukee Turners at Turner Hall for continuing to provide the infrastructure of resistance that we need now more than ever.

I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.

US strikes on Iran ‘outside international law,’ says Macron Macron joins Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez in calling the legality of the strikes into question.

After four days of hesitating, the president of France has joined the prime minister of Spain in saying that the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 attack on Iran is a violation of international law.

But they are still the only 2 EU leaders to have done so. Will others join?

I’m grateful to Alderwoman Marina Dimitrijevic for bringing the community together today not just for a town hall, but for community defense training with the Milwaukee Turners, Voces de la Frontera and Comité Sin Fronteras. I’m proud to be part of that work and of this community. We keep us safe.

ACLU of Wisconsin Responds to Accusations Of Milwaukee Police Officer Misusing Flock Surveillance Technology - ACLU of Wisconsin Cases like these demonstrate why we can’t afford to allow law enforcement to use surveillance tools without proper oversight or safeguards to protect against misuse.

We introduced AB 576 last fall to prevent just this kind of abuse of power: it would ban this kind of law enforcement surveillance statewide.

It’s becoming a bigger need by the day. (2/3)

Law enforcement officers are abusing Flock cameras to stalk and intimidate people (for gross, "personal" reasons). This is what happens when they're unaccountable, overfunded -- and have access to powerful surveillance equipment and data to share with ICE/CBP at their whim. (1/3)

A poll showing the Democrats are viewed as elitist by 43% of people while Republicans are viewed as elitist by 60%. It also shows that only 31% of people view Dems as tough, and 56% view Republicans as tough. 60% of people view Republicans as extreme and only 42% view Dems as extreme.

A lot of obvious stuff in this poll (people want Dems to act with more conviction and stop tearing their ACLs trying to reach across the aisle), but the thing I learned is that Republicans are viewed as the elitist ones now! Run with that! Usain Bolt with that shit!

The fascist takeover of U.S. broadcasting continues. Disgusting.

4) Rep. Wittke admitting he’s wrong. One point awarded.

Republicans do not take legislating seriously & are perfectly happy to heap unfunded mandates on K-12 public schools. Because their goal is to destroy public education, not strengthen it. (3/3)

2) Rep. Bob Wittke insisting that the bill creates an option, not a mandate, because the bill does not literally contain the word “mandate,”
3) Me, pointing out that the bill very obviously creates a mandate, because that’s what the word “must” does, (2/3)

Some slightly more lighthearted content to wrap up WI’s Public Education Week ‘26!

1) Me, speaking out against SB 921, a bill that mandates financial literacy courses in high schools — without providing any resources, (1/3)

This image shows a post from Benjamin Ryan (@benryanwriter) on X (formerly Twitter), which includes a quoted post from Alejandra Caraballo (@esqueer.net). ​The text of the posts is as follows: ​Benjamin Ryan: "Caraballo raises a good point: Where are the national stories about the situation in Kansas with trans people’s driver’s licenses? On the flip side, why was the mainstream left-leaning media so generally uninterested in the detransitioner lawsuit win? I got about 20 interview requests to talk about my reporting on the case for @TheFP and they were all from conservative or heterodox outlets." ​Alejandra Caraballo: "A day later and no major national news org has covered what they're doing in Kansas. This is the flip side of the hyper focus on trans issues by the right. The national media ignores what's actually being done to trans people. This erasure is what contributes to the persecution."

Yeah, thousands of trans people losing their ability to drive and function in society is equivalent to nobody respectable wanting to talk to you.

Won't anyone think about poor Ben Ryan who is unable to book interviews with outlets that aren't right wing hacks and get the respect he deserves.

matt thinks a jobs program for people released from prison is some kind of newfangled woke non profit thing. the guy simply does not follow policy and isn't interested in doing so.

This will keep happening so long as law enforcement has unregulated access to surveillance tools. And that data *will* be shared with ICE/CBP. bsky.app/profile/wisc...

Rightwing media is now just MeToo Welfare.

Trans New Yorkers Deserve Better Than Mamdani's Inaction On Trans Youth Care Closures The mayor has immediate steps he can take to ensure continuity of care for trans youth.

1. Its been a week since NYU Langone ended its trans youth care program.

Then Sinai followed a few days ago.

There are immediate steps Mamdani can take, and he refuses to do so. When asked about those steps, his office has chosen not to comment repeatedly.

Government can appeal against Palestine Action ban ruling
