Looking at Milwaukee National Register listed buildings from the 1890s with a focus on Milwaukee’s famous beer barons & the mark they left on the city.

We’ve been exploring the National Register of Historic Places, the official list of the nation’s historic properties worthy of preservation. We’ve looked at the earliest buildings up through the 1880s. Now onto the 1890s: a time of architectural blossoming in Milwaukee:

"I think the way that you juxtaposed the actual people who were victims with the people who were the perpetrators of this voter suppression was nothing short of brilliant." - @CkHoffler, #CiviRights attorney to @RevJJackson & @RPCoalition, on Vigilante gregpalast.com/ck-hoffler-we-…
"And then...to have the country understand the history of #BrianKemp and his family, being the family who brought slavery to the state of #Georgia… it was also something that was masterfully done." - @CkHoffler on Vigilante gregpalast.com/ck-hoffler-we-…
"I think everyone needs to see this movie. It’s not just about #Georgia, but it’s relevant to what’s happening in this country today." - @CkHoffler discusses Palast's new movie, Vigilante: Georgia's Vote Suppression Hitman, on @KPFARadio gregpalast.podbean.com/e/georgia-voti…

Taking a break from the #CapitolSiege to ask everyone a question I ponder ALL the time: Which urban neighborhoods bordering major waterfronts offer safe *pedestrian* access to the actual WATER—and preferably to long linear parks offering > 1000’/300m of continuous water access?
I've spent MANY hours looking at Google Maps for ways to walk to the river from residential neighborhoods in cities all over the U.S. Access is TERRIBLE. I'm sooo envious of #Vancouver, BC. It's frustrating how cut off we are by seawalls, railroads, industry, private homes... /2
Hood River is an incredible town, and it’s the undisputed windsurfing capital of Earth. But, just like ALL of Oregon’s Columbia River towns, I-84 completely severs all possible pedestrian connections between residential areas and the river itself. /3
While the rest of the nation had massive voter turnout in 2016, in parts of #Wisconsin, voting fell off a cliff. In Black-majority #Milwaukee, turnout plummeted from 66% to 56% of the voting-age population. gregpalast.com/wisconsin-eats…
University of Wisconsin professors Michael DeCrescenzo & Kenneth Mayer wanted to find out about the mysterious massive drop in turnout. They conducted an extraordinary survey, contacting thousands of non-voters directly, asking registrants why they did not, or could not, vote.
They discovered that 28,000 citizens in just two cities, Milwaukee and Madison, were blocked by Wisconsin's newly enacted ID requirement.
Take a look at this chart from the study. The ID law was three times as likely to block African Americans as whites. gregpalast.com/wisconsin-eats…

@UWM This is the pathetic response from University of #Wisconsin, #Milwaukee about senior lecturer retired @usairforce Lt Col Betsy Schoeller's disgusting #Facebook post about Vanessa Guillen's death. #VanessaGuillen #JusticeForVanessaGullien #FireBetsySchoeller @ProtectRDfnders
@UWM #Facebook posts are NOT PRIVATE. In #Ohio, college professors don't get tenure if they talk about "controversial topics" like mental illness concerns or #homeless individuals' #CivilRights on social media. If you don't have a #SocialMedia policy, you should. @ProtectRDfnders
@UWM @ProtectRDfnders: Army soldier Vanessa Guillen's horrific murder been a trigger for countless #veterans suffering from #PTSD from #military sexual #trauma. A reprehensible #Facebook post from fellow veteran Betsy Schoeller has further exacerbated it. #MilitarySexualTrauma
Try to do my best linking good source material from #Milwaukee describing the #SexTrafficking search and rescue that happened from Monday June 22nd thru Wednesday June 24th in this thread.
First, this story serves as a "ground floor" so you can get a general idea of what went down, who was involved, and what the issues are:

Missing Black Girls Found After Cops Don’t Issue Amber Alert Amid Sex Trafficking Suspicions: Report
newsone.com/3965112/milwau…
The story tells us that two teen girls went missing Sunday, but didn't meet Amber Alert criteria, according to Milwaukee PD.
Local photographer, Amanda Schlicher Press offered her own account of the case, which culminated in the reported safe rescue of the girls on Tuesday night.

Why is the MillerCoors event in #Milwaukee categorized under Politics?🤔
1-Interesting part of the story. Til now, we still don’t know much about the shooter. I suspect it’s b/c the shooter is a POC. If the shooter was white there would be wall-to-wall coverage. There would a huge push for gun control and Trump would be blamed.

I’m glad to see you all at this march, but I wish the context of it didn’t exist. I’m inspired by the young folks here & around the country who’ve mobilized and organized around the issue of gun violence prevention
