It’s embarrassing to be a white person in Trumps America right now. I want to thank my Major Taylor LA team for always being so warm and welcoming to me. How many white groups in our history can say the same about welcoming black folks?

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.
