I grew up in the midwest & often visited Wisconsin - my sister & I thought of it as the “FUN state” - (the opposite of judgmental Iowa). We should save their people, especially the women, girls, LGBTQIA+ from a Nazi State Supreme Court that wants to take their civil & voting rights and refuse healthcare, including birth control. Nazis treat their dogs better than any human female. Nazis hate freedom. Nazis hate you - no matter where you live. Help Wisconsin stay free.

I read the sign about supporting the president’s agenda: perfect reason not to vote for him. Isn’t there enough chaos?

Thank you, Ben, for this clear and passionate account of what’s at stake here, and of these history-making times! I’m thinking of Wisconsin history in a longer frame, as well - “The stirring of political and social change reputedly occurred on September 17, 1891, when Republican leader Philetus Sawyer offered 35-year-old attorney a bribe to fix a court case. Furious, La Follette refused it, later saying, "Nothing else ever came into my life that exerted such a powerful influence upon me."

For the rest of the decade, La Follette traveled around the state speaking out against crooked politicians, powerful lumber barons, and corrupt railroad interests. Elected governor in 1900, he pledged to institute reforms to protect common people. Those who followed him called themselves "Progressive" Republicans. They believed that the proper business of government was not business, but service to the common people.” https://www.wisconsinhistory.org/Records/Article/CS3588

I suppose if you can buy a presidency you can buy a seat on the judicial bench if you want. I’m old enough to remember when this type of influence was viewed as a very bad thing. Oh well……

This is one of the few Democratic campaigns that I will donate to as long as Schumer is “leader.” Giving more right now. Can we do door knockers tying the MAGAt to Elon?
