Guess Who’s Funding Barricades And Porta-Potties At Madison’s Marxist-Antifa Encampment

Far-left foot soldiers linked with Black Lives Matter and Antifa have established a two-block autonomous zone along Williamson Street in Madison, Wisconsin, following the death of 38-year-old Corey Durrell Ruiz.

Ruiz, who had reportedly been released from prison (read report) shortly before the incident, was approached by police while riding a bicycle after allegedly attempting to enter several vehicles. Far-left activists have since designated the occupied area the Corey Ruiz Autonomous Zone, or CRAZ.

The encampment appears designed to demonstrate control over public space while creating conditions in which any police intervention could be framed as state repression. However, reporting from local media and anti-communist commentator Karlyn Borysenko suggests the local government is accommodating, and potentially enabling, the occupation rather than moving to dismantle it.

“So who’s funding the barricades and the porta-potties in the BLM/Antifa autonomous zone (the CRAZ) in Madison, Wisconsin? You’re not going to believe the answer. And I provide the receipts to prove it,” Borysenko wrote on X.

Borysenko pointed to reporting from local outlet WMTV 15 News that says the municipal government is funding part of the CRAZ.

BLM Is Back And Protesting The Police Shooting Of Another Violent Career Criminal

They are far less active across the US in 2026, but not truly gone. Is it exasperating, or, is it entertaining? It depends on how you look at it. Yes, the Black Lives Matter movement is back, and big surprise, they’re angry over the police shooting of another violent minority criminal. But, is he black?

Not according to his extensive offender detail record, in which his race is listed as “White” and his ethnicity is listed as “Latino”.  Yet another in a long line of imprisoned minority perpetrators falsely identified as white on their rap sheet in order to artificially reduce official crime stats.  That said, it’s nice to know that BLM is finally admitting that all lives matter. 

Corey Durrell Ruiz, 38, recently released from prison, was approached by police while riding a bicycle after allegedly attempting to enter (break into) random vehicles in Madison, Wisconsin.  He was also suspected of a previous bike theft.  

When officers attempted to detain Ruiz, he ran.  He was tackled off the bike, but produced a fixed blade knife and stabbed one of the officers.  The wounded officer fired three shots, killing the suspect.

Wisconsin Board Targets Elon Musk, Says He May Have Violated Election Law by Offering $1 Million Checks to Americans Who Oppose Radical Judges

A Wisconsin board said Elon Musk may have violated an election law by offering $1 million to American who oppose radical judges during the state’s Supreme Court election.

As previously reported, Elon Musk promised to give away $1 million each day until the November 2024 election to those who sign his petition supporting the U.S. Constitution.

At a packed 2024 rally in Pennsylvania, Elon Musk wasted no time in following through on that promise, awarding a $1 million check to John Dreher, one of the attendees.

Elon Musk continued his giveaway in 2025 during Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election.

Musk’s America PAC awarded $1 million checks to three voters who signed a petition to protest the far-left “activist judges” in Wisconsin’s judicial race.

CBS News reported:

The Wisconsin Elections Commission found that billionaire Elon Musk may have violated the state’s election bribery law by offering $1 million checks to voters during a Wisconsin Supreme Court election that Musk’s political action committee spent heavily in.

The commission — which is made up of three Republicans and three Democrats — voted 5-1 last Thursday to refer two complaints filed by voters against Musk to the Brown County District Attorney’s office, commission Communications Director Emilee Miklas told CBS News.

A motion approved by the committee found “probable cause” that Musk violated a state law that makes it a crime to offer a person “anything of value” to induce them to vote.

It is unclear whether Brown County District Attorney David Lasee — the top prosecutor in the county that covers Green Bay — plans to pursue charges.

A Pennsylvania judge previously refused to block Elon Musk’s $1 million daily giveaway with no explanation.

Elite Judge Sets Tiny Fine for Elite Judge Who Helped Illegal Immigrant Escape ICE

The Democrat-nominated judge who helped an illegal migrant escape from her Wisconsin courtroom has been given a wet-kiss penalty by a judge who used to be a top Democratic politician in the state.

District Judge Lynn Adelman fined Judge Hannah Dugan just $5,000 as he excused her April 2025 crime: “An otherwise good person, upset by immigration enforcement in this country — a view widely shared — made a bad decision in the moment.”

The slap-on-the-wrist penalty comes amid a wave of murder by illegal migrants, and amid the massive economic dislocation to American families caused by migrants’ willingness to work for very low wages.

The “punishment should fit the offender and not merely the crime,” Adelman, the former Democratic Speaker in the state legislature, told the courtroom.

The judge’s statement also rejects the electoral mandate for immigration enforcement earned by populist President Donald Trump from the citizens of the United States in the 2024 general election.

Dugan — a former advocate for more migration — was unapologetic about the crime, saying: “I have been cast as both a scofflaw and as a hero… I am a public servant who was just trying to do my job,” according to the UrbanMilwaukee.com report. The report added:

Dugan told the court that she intends to return to serving the public and her community. She explained her motivation to serve by quoting President Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, calling for citizens to take action to preserve and further democracy: “It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work.”

“For someone who has dedicated her life to the law, this [trial] amounts to significant punishment regardless of what I do today,” Adelman told Dugan and the court.

DSA Democrat Running for Governor of Wisconsin Wants Taxpayer Funded Gender Transition Care for Children

Francesca Hong is another DSA Democrat who is running for governor of the state of Wisconsin and she wants taxpayers to fund gender transition care for children.

As we have pointed out repeatedly, the left absolutely refuses to let go of this issue. They are determined to continue pushing the trans agenda, even for minors. They do not care what the public thinks about it, they are full steam ahead.

Would the people of Wisconsin actually endorse this position and put this person in the role of governor?

Breitbart News reports:

Socialist Candidate Francesca Hong Wants Taxpayer-Funded Gender Transition Care for Kids

Democrat gubernatorial candidate and State Rep. Francesca Hong said she supports using public funding to expand gender-affirming care, including for transgender youth.

During a January appearance on the Take 2 Podcast, Hong called for expanding access to gender-affirming care, saying Wisconsin should invest in clinics that provide the treatment, including for transgender youth.

“We have to look at expanding health care, especially gender-affirming care. And right now, when our hospitals are under threat of providing gender-affirming care, which hospitals have paused right now,” Hong said. “We have to make sure that communities are coming together to stand up for trans rights. Look at ways that we can invest in clinics to still provide that care, and be vocal about uplifting trans joy, and defending trans lives.”

Hong also added elected officials should continue defending transgender youth and resist pressure to back away from supporting transgender rights.

“It’s important that elected officials not cave to the pressures of not standing up for trans folks,” she said.

Like the rest of her communist DSA comrades, Hong also wants to stop immigration enforcement.

Here We Go… Duplicate Ballots Sent Out in Green Bay, WI for Primary Election – For the Second Time This Year!

In the same week that the US Supreme Court legitimized late-arriving ballots in US elections, news broke in Wisconsin that duplicate ballots had been sent to voters in Green Bay.

What a farce. Everyone knows mail-in ballots result in increased risk of fraud – but the geniuses in the US Supreme Court don’t seem a bit concerned.

FOX 11 reported that this was not the first time this happened this year.

For the second time in 2026, the city of Green Bay has accidently sent duplicate ballots to some voters across the city.

The city of Green Bay announced early Sunday evening that residents across the city have started to receive their mail-in ballots for the August primary election.

However, some of the residents who received one of the 5,084 total ballots also received an additional ballot.

The city says its staff became aware of the issue on Saturday that some voters in wards 11a, 12a, 37a, 44-47 and part of ward 43 received a duplicate ballot.

It was not disclosed how many residents were sent duplicate ballots.

HORROR: Young Husband and Father to Four Children Beaten to Death by Man Released From Jail for Similar Assault

A young husband and father to four children was brutally beaten to death by a man who was just released from jail.

Dylan Plouff, 34, was working as a security guard in Milwaukee when he confronted a man who was trying to break into cars on May 18.

The suspect, 32-year-old Daniel Mcrae, brutally beat Plouff.

Mcrae was released from jail on May 12 without any charges for a similar assault. During the May 12 arrest, Mcrae injured an officer.

Six days later, Mcrae fatally beat Plouff.

Plouff died on June 2 from his injuries.

TMJ4 reported:

The 34-year-old man who was assaulted at the MacArthur Square garage in May has died, according to Milwaukee police.

His family tells TMJ4 that he was working as a security guard when police say he was allegedly assaulted after he “encountered” a 32-year-old man who was trying to enter cars in the garage in the early morning hours of Monday, May 18.

The man then allegedly assaulted the 34-year-old, identified by his family as Dylan Plouff, who was taken to a hospital. Police later confirmed to TMJ4 on June 3 that he had since died, but said his cause of death has not been determined.

The 32-year-old man accused of assaulting Plouff was arrested, and criminal charges were referred to the Milwaukee County district attorney’s office, which confirmed to TMJ4 that the case was referred to them but said it is “still pending investigation at this time.”

Wisconsin attorney general suggests blue haired non-binary ‘time-traveling pleasure activist’ can teach state staff about ‘microaggressions’

Wisconsin‘s woke Attorney General has encouraged staff members to read a book co-written by a self-described ‘non-binary mystic and pleasure activist.’

The book ‘Subtle Acts of Exclusion,’ co-written by Dr Tiffany Jana and Dr Michael Baran, was included in the curriculum for ‘Associate Culture Staff’ Training under Attorney General Josh Kaul’s 2023 Equity and Inclusion Plan, which remains in effect through December, the Heartland Post reports.

It aims to address ‘insidious and damaging’ actions in the workplace, including microaggressions and unfounded assumptions.

The Wisconsin Department of Justice will now ‘maintain a monitoring and reporting system to ensure the overall compliance with the equity and inclusion mandates,’ Kaul wrote in the Equity and Inclusion Commitment Letter. 

‘We expect each DOJ employee to be an active participant in the implementation of this program and be accountable for complying with the objectives of this Equity and Inclusion Plan,’ he wrote when the plan was first being published.

The plan ‘reflects the principles of the department and it places into action our intent to be a better and stronger organization, one that is truly diverse, inclusive and applies principles of equity so all members of the DOJ community can experience a sense of belonging,’ it says.

But the inclusion of Jana’s book has sparked backlash, as it was revealed she sells $600 an hour ‘solo time travel sessions’ and offers $75 an hour ‘tarot/oracle readings.’

‘My mission is to empower and liberate minds, hearts and bodies through joy, love, knowledge and spiritual wisdom,’ she writes on her site.

Far-left brewery owner who wished Trump dead running for governor of Wisconsin

The far-left brewery owner who offered free beer to celebrate President Donald Trump’s eventual death announced that he will seek the Democrat nomination for governor of Wisconsin.

As LifeSiteNews covered on April 27,  Minocqua Brewing Company posted to social media that “either a brother or sister in the Resistance needs to work on their marksmanship or he faked another assassination to get a positive news cycle” after the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, but “we stand at the ready to pour free beer the day it happens … our celebration of life is going to be legendary!”

The post was met with widespread condemnation by Republicans and even some Democrats, which Minocqua Brewing met with defiance, complaining about “Corporate Dems and politically naive Democratic gubernatorial candidates” for “tak(ing) the bait.”

Now, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that the self-proclaimed “progressive beer” company’s owner, Democrat activist and former Assembly candidate Kirk Bangstad, announced his gubernatorial ambitions on Saturday during a live-streamed event, claiming that the Democrat field so far does not impress him.

“I decided I’m not gonna stand for this anymore and I’m going to run for governor of Wisconsin,” he said. “We need somebody strong to run for governor, we need somebody who is battle-tested and can stand up to Trump, and I’ve been called the Trump of the left. Arguably, I am; I’m just a million times smarter, but I have the showmanship aspect.”

“What we haven’t heard so far is that five-alarm fire from any of the candidates running,” Bangstad said. “What’s important to the polls, if you poll every Wisconsinite, is the cost of eggs are high and the cost of gas is high, which is true, but you ain’t going to fix the cost of eggs if you can no longer vote.”

Wisconsin’s current governor, Democrat Tony Evers, announced last year that he would not seek reelection to a third term, leaving the race wide open for both parties. Currently, there are nine official Democrat candidates (not including Bangstad), the most prominent being former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes; and two Republicans, U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany and medical service technician Andrew Manske (who says he would not advocate banning abortion), plus six independent candidates.

Transgender Socialist Wisconsin Congressional Candidate Deletes Gun Range Video Shooting a Target of President Trump, Posts Weird Rant Walking it Back

Stephen Cooper, a Satanist biological male who identifies as a woman named Katrina DeVille and is running as a Democratic Socialist in the 2026 primary for Wisconsin’s 8th Congressional District, has been forced to delete a campaign-related video showing him at a gun range shooting at targets that included President Donald Trump.

Cooper was subsequently banned from speaking at the Democrat Party’s 8th Congressional District convention being held this weekend at UW-Green Bay.

After facing the severe blowback for the unhinged video, Cooper posted a TikTok video attempting to walk back the controversy, claiming he does not advocate violence while still calling for Trump’s impeachment on “day one” in office.

The original campaign post included imagery of Cooper firing at Trump-themed targets.

In the damage-control video posted to social media, Cooper begins by singing “Faithfully” by Journey.

Cooper goes on to say:

“There are some things I said online last week… I do not advocate for violence. I condemn it… I don’t think that [the brewery] is entirely in the wrong by saying I’ll feel some relief when this president’s term is over… I wasn’t wishing [violence]. There’s a big difference… I want him gone… I am one of the fewest that I’ve seen advocating for his impeachment on a consistent basis.”
