We can help shift the tide! Wisconsin must have fair electoral maps going forward. Answer Musk’s money with a blizzard of small donations. Give Musk the finger and support Judge Susan Crawford for the open WI Supreme Court seat. Our democracy depends on it. secure.actblue.com/donate/hrccr...

It’s clear in these dangerous times who’s a true leader and who’s a follower. Leadership isn’t just about words, it’s about action, bringing people together, and making a difference. The real change-makers, the activists, are the ones who should be at the top, shaping the future. Pay attention.

Imagine what we could have had with Kamala Harris, strong leadership with grace, like ‘a fist in a velvet glove.’ Meanwhile, with Trump, it’s all about the opposite, no finesse, no real strength, just chaos. Sometimes it’s not just about power, it’s about how you wield it.

Just beware: there are fake, troll accounts on this platform here to defend Musk. I just called out one because it was so obvious and he deleted his comment and blocked me. Thin-skinned Musk is paying people to protect him and his disinformation.

I just watched Eddie Rosario challenge a strike call right down the middle in the 4th inning lmao He was called out when strike 3 was confirmed and now the Dodgers have lost a challenge. Gonna be hilarious to see which players hog the challenges and how managers handle that.

There’s a crucial election coming up in a battleground state: The liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court is at risk. Elon Musk is not only determined to infiltrate every level of the federal government, he’s coming after our local elections, too. We’re not going to let him get away with it.

Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well. His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel. Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.
