"The Mothership Bar in Milwaukee to Close During RNC"

The owner of Milwaukee's The Mothership, Ricky Ramirez, announced on Instagram that the bar will be closed during the Republican National Convention (RNC) in 2024, stating "fuck that noise" and expressing a desire to avoid involvement with the event. Ramirez, who has a history of using the bar's social media to express his opinions, cited his opposition to the Republican Party's embrace of nativist policies and racist conspiracy theories as a reason for the closure. Despite some backlash, Ramirez remains firm in his decision and plans to use the space for more positive purposes during the convention.
