For New Year’s resolution season, remember detoxes are fake. Drink some water and go to bed 🙄
See, that’s what the app is perfect for.
Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna
These, the last words to echo from the mouths of Eric Garner, Adama Traoré, Freddie Gray and George Floyd, provide a window into our pain.
Make no mistake: we are being suffocated by a system built on colorism and supremacy. We are being bled dry by those who consider us property, not people.
Law enforcement officers across the globe are fighting this war for our…
Brooklyn sits in a wheelchair, behind a fold-out table, to welcome volunteers to the Bernie Sanders Dubuque field office the weekend before the Iowa Caucuses, the first leg of the Democratic nomination process. Buses and caravans of volunteers are coming in from all over the Midwest — Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana and even Ohio — and not one of them gets by without Brooklyn kindly asking “sign in please, don’t forget to sign in.”
Brooklyn came to Dubuque in October after being seriously injured in a home invasion, landing at a Dubuque shelter not far from where we are standing. After a few interactions with Bernie folks, Brooklyn found her way into the campaign office. It was the efforts of staffers to reach out on a human level, Brooklyn said, and the kindness they showed that influenced her decision to stay. Since December she’s been a mainstay at the campaign headquarters.
“I was crying for about thirty minutes this morning,” Brooklyn said Thursday morning, over the phone. “I don’t want all our hard work to be for nothing.”
In a startling move, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez called for a site-by-site recount Thursday afternoon, just as a Bernie Sanders became apparent after an unprecedented three-day delay in reporting caucus results. The announcement, which comes as about three percent of the voting data has yet to be released, casts even more doubt on an already dubious process.
Late Monday night, after nearly two percent of results came in, the Iowa Democratic Party announced that no more results would be reported that night in order to verify results. In the wake of this announcement, with more than 98 percent of the results yet to be tallied, Pete Buttigieg declared victory. Tuesday night, the Iowa Democrats released 64 percent of the vote, which showed Sanders with a slight edge in votes and tied with Buttigieg in pledged delegates. However, pundits focused coverage on Pete’s two percent lead in State Delegate Equivalents (SDEs).
One of the measures used to calculate pledged delegates, SDEs are, in and of themselves, meaningless.
Even as late as Wednesday morning, the New York Times predicted, based on SDEs, that a Pete victory was all but guaranteed. However, as more and more precinct data came in, Sanders’ vote lead widened and folks began to draw attention to reporting inconsistencies in a number of precincts, where Sanders should have received more delegates or Pete should have received less. The errors were corrected, contributing to the Sanders surge.
The New York Times was caught with its pants down on this one.
By Wednesday, the New York Times predictor had gone dead so the company could “evaluate how it is processing the results of satellite caucuses.” These gatherings, hosted in other states, or at different times, were incorporated for the first time this year to include voters that weren’t able to attend a regular caucus because of work shift or location. The Sanders campaign made a distinct effort to turn folks out to these caucuses.
At the time of Perez’s announcement, Bernie is ahead by 2,500 votes, has 547 SDEs to Pete’s 550, and both have 11 pledged delegates, the measure that ultimately determines the nominee. With about two percent yet to be reported, the Sanders has claimed victory. The DNC has not said whether it will release the remaining data before a recount.
Folks on twitter noted that the staggered rollout allowed Buttigieg to grab headlines and dominate coverage, as some pundits criticized Sanders for not performing as well as expected. Many Sanders supporters were already skeptical of the process after emails and other documents verified the DNC had influenced the 2016 primary in favor of Hillary Clinton, who lost to Donald Trump in an election that featured the two most unpopular presidential candidates in U.S. history.
Just recently, there have been reports of party insiders attempting to change convention rules to allow superdelegates — often party elites who can vote for any candidate they like — to vote on the first ballot, shielding the party from the potential controversy of a second vote that overturns the will of the people. As former DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz said in 2016, “Unpledged delegates exist really to make sure that party leaders and elected officials don’t have to be in a position where they are running against grassroots activists.”
Likewise, Sanders is largely ignored by establishment news corporations, despite regularly drawing large crowds and polling well nationally, particularly with youth of color. Regardless, his campaign — which stands on a platform that prioritizes environmental, economic and racial justice — is drawing the attention of folks who feel left out of the process.
The idea that we should be able to access medical care if we are sick, go to school if we’d like and support our families without working ourselves to death, is not controversial among working people. In fact, in my experience, it has been unifying.
Shawn hadn’t planned to caucus but was open and said he would look into Bernie further.
I was encouraged to speak with folks who’d committed to caucus for Bernie, and to bring others along. In a few cases, I was blessed to share this message of solidarity with folks who had not yet heard. I listened to people as they shared, and they listened to me. For a moment, we were present with each other.
“This is a people’s campaign, not a for-profit endeavor; this is not politics-as-usual ― this is a movement. And, as long as we remember, we will never be defeated.”
Many of us distrust the political system, and politicians, in general. And, as the Iowa Caucuses have revealed, this distrust is well-deserved. But I trust you. And, I trust Bernie Sanders.
So, let us not lose sight of ourselves. Let us not forget ― this is about relationships. This is a people’s campaign, not a for-profit endeavor; this is not politics-as-usual ― this is a movement. And, as long as we remember this, we will never be defeated.

The 20-week campaign seeks to connect and support residents in five Milwaukee neighborhoods.
A group of about 25 marched through Garden Homes, just north of Capitol Drive near 27th Street, Sunday, attracting attention of motorists and other bystanders, some of whom came out of their homes to say hello. It was the third of 20 demonstrations planned throughout the summer in five central city neighborhoods that organizers hope will spread positivity and connect community members with resources.
The yearly festival, which celebrates the freeing of the last slaves, attracts thousands with quality local music, food and business.
Despite poor conditions, thousands of Black Milwaukeeans turned out June 19th to celebrate the 152nd anniversary of the event considered by many to represent the actual end of slavery in the United States.

The Milwaukee festival, organized by Northcott Neighborhood House, stretches up Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, from Center Street to Burleigh. The annual event features performances, food and local proprietors offering wares, from scented oils to hand-stitched clothing.
Juneteenth is the only Milwaukee festival where the presence of police is significant and noticeable. No major incidents occurred.

Tyler grew up in the area, but lives on the west side now. He said his experience in Milwaukee has been “all about adapting.” Avant, who was raised near 28th & Congress, said the group had been at Juneteenth for a couple of hours: “You see a lot of people you haven’t seen in a long time.” (Photo by Jabril Faraj)
Elriche Williams, 19, recently became a father. Though he and the mother aren’t necessarily friendly, he says “I don’t regret having her,” referring to his 1-year-old daughter. “It’s about her — it’s not about us anymore.” (Photo by Jabril Faraj)
Brandon Gibson (right), 19, has been in Milwaukee for the last three years after stints in cities across the country, a result of his father’s employment. Gibson plans to return to Atlanta to pursue a career in music. He writes about “the hustle, the grind … life — real situations people can relate to.” (Photo by Jabril Faraj)
Earnell Lucas (left) — who recently secured endorsements from Voces de la Frontera, Wisconsin Working Families Party and Black Leaders Organizing for Change (BLOC) in his bid to be the next Milwaukee County Sheriff — shakes hands with Charles Taylor (in orange). Taylor, 50, said law enforcement must begin to act differently, citing the need for transparency and “mutual respect.” He said: “There’s no reason my heart should start beating when I see a police behind me.” (Photo by Jabril Faraj)

Joseph Patten, 46, leans against a boarded-up building holding recently purchased, tin-foil-wrapped rib tips. Patten, who has been in Milwaukee for eight years, enjoys the Juneteenth celebration, and attends “to unite and fellowship with my brothers and sisters.” He says it feels good to see people together and that those of all colors and creeds must build stronger relationships with one other. “Living in this day and time, we need that,” Patten says.

Zarria Stewart (left), 14, says the Milwaukee she knows has “a lot to offer,” while Juanita, Zarria’s grandmother, remembers a time when neighbors would congregate on porches and people left their doors unlocked. Juanita, who has 13 grandchildren, hopes we can begin to live in love once again. (Photo by Jabril Faraj)

The heavy police presence was unmistakable, though slightly less pronounced than years past, when, in some cases, MPD stationed armed officers on rooftops overlooking the street. The practice drew ire and criticism from civil rights advocates and Black Milwaukeeans. (Photo by Jabril Faraj)
Tommie Hall, 70, who has spent many years in the area, dropped by at the end of the day after a visit with his 93-year-old mother. “I guess they need to show force,” he said of the large number of police, acknowledging that there have been incidents here and there at the festival. “I know they don’t intimidate me,” Hall said, casually. “Maybe they do intimidate some people; some people intimidate them.” (Photo by Jabril Faraj)
Though the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect in 1963, it was not until two years later that the news reached Galveston, Texas, a small city on the coast near Houston. Texas had become a refuge for those fleeing battleground states, some of whom brought enslaved people with them; the announcement abolished one of the country’s last bastions of slavery. Immediately afterward, freedmen rejoiced in the street; the first official festival, organized a year later was dubbed “Juneteenth.”
However, the end of slavery, in law, did not end the practice of dehumanizing Black people. Black Americans have continued to experience legal and extrajudicial discrimination, disenfranchisement and death because of the color of their skin.⬩

Though political prospects to fully legalize marijuana on the state level remain grim, local efforts in Milwaukee could send a message to legislators.
The measure will be added to the Nov. 6 ballot pending approval by the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors at its next meeting May 24.
Matthew Desmond’s ‘Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City’ has become a cultural phenomenon, but the eviction crisis persists with no solution in sight.
The description on the event’s online registration page calls the event a “community wide call to action.” But some community members were critical of the $125 price tag for individuals to attend, a cost that would be prohibitive for many of the people Desmond has profiled in his work.

The city is seeking out resident perspectives, again — this time regarding a proposed expansion of the downtown streetcar, which is nearing completion of its first phase. However, at a recent discussion on Dr. Martin Luther King Drive, Department of City Development employees could not give a concrete timeline for expanding the streetcar up King Drive, citing a lack of funding.
As a new sheriff unveils reforms at the Milwaukee County Jail, community leaders are calling on the county to do more to invest in communities.
A vision recently delivered to the new sheriff by a diverse group of community organizations calls for an end to mass incarceration and “state violence” against communities of color, and a commitment to treating incarcerated individuals with dignity. It also calls for the “full legalization of cannabis” and “reparations for communities impacted by past racist drug policies.”
