We didn’t know we had a visionary in our live podcast audience last week until he pitched a REMARKABLE Milwaukee Day idea: recreating the Milwaukee Boat experience every year as an annual event and fundraiser.
@Angela_Lang was absolutely floored by the idea.
If Minneapolis can have a Pencil Sharpening Festival, the people of this great “city of festivals” deserves an opportunity to honor an abandoned boat that overstayed its welcome at the exact moment we needed it most. What do you say, Milwaukee?
“May Day: A Day Without Immigrants” march is underway on Milwaukee’s south side, organized by @vocesdelafronterawi .
The Living Wage Coalition, which includes @mash.workers Milwaukee Area Service & Hospitality Workers Organization, @citizenactionwi , @fightoligarchywi , and @wiworkingfamilies organize to advocate for raising the minimum wage to $20 per hour.
Candidates for governor present and speaking include Mandela Barnes, Kelda Roys, Francesca Hong. Per press release, David Crowley supports the effort but was unable to attend.
Well, this is pretty wild. The Recombobulation Area is nominated for @milwaukeemag ’s 2026 Best of Milwaukee Readers’ Choice for “Local Social Media Follow.”

Hearing a lot of frustration from Wisconsin Democratic legislature sources about how the Evers administration handled this deal.
Once source said, “his staff was woefully unprepared, misleading, and combative.”
Kirk Bangstad wants you to believe his governor run is about saving Wisconsin. Emily Mills makes a much more plausible case: it’s all about Kirk Bangstad.
In their latest column, Mills takes apart the version of ego-fueled “liberal” politics the Minocqua Brewing owner represents — and why none of this builds anything real.
The loudest guy in the room is not automatically the solution. Link in bio 🛫
It’s almost as if everyone forgot how to count to 17 — the number of votes needed to pass a bill in the Senate.
Dan Shafer has a lot more to say in his latest column on this “blockbuster” tax rebate and special education funding fumble, link in bio.
NEW: After a big-deal retirement for the GOP in the Assembly, new polling shared with The Recombobulation Area sheds more light on the challenging outlook for Republicans in the midterms.
Dan Shafer has argued the Assembly still leans Republican. Now, in his latest column, he says it’s a toss-up.
Let’s recombobulate 🛫
Beyond delusional.
Not only is Kirk Bangatad a toxic, repugnant, attention-seeking grifter, he makes everyone on the left look worse by even the vaguest of association. He will go nowhere in this primary.
Huge congratulations to Emily Mills for winning GOLD for “Best Single Editorial, Statement of Editorial Position or Opinion” at the 2025 Milwaukee Press Club Awards.
Incredibly proud to publish both Emily and their column at The Recombobulation Area 🥂
