“The overwhelming thing I heard from people was, ‘Thank you for giving us a place to go because we've been at home clenching our fists and didn't really know what to do.’"

“…In the Tesla Takedown movement, thousands of angry, frightened people have found a sense of collectivity.”
In my latest, I talk with #TeslaTakedown organizers and author @niedermeyer.online about the decentralized nature of the movement, why Musk and Tesla are vulnerable, and why Saturday's Global Day of Action matters.
Is March 29 the Day the World Turns on Tesla?
“It's a huge opportunity, and everything we can do here makes a difference," says Edward Niedermeyer.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

“These are the conditions these folks are living in, and we expect them to return to our communities? And thrive? That’s a fallacious dream."

Overcrowding and oversentencing in WI jails/prisons is the core problem. We must address *that*.

Winning on April 1 would secure the liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court for the 2026 and 2028 elections.

That’s why Elon Musk is spending millions on this race.

If you only have the capacity to read a couple of updates, I suggest this as one of them. I had never heard of Burlingame, and I'm grateful to know this piece of history and how it relates to what's going on today.

Dems as a whole are demonstrably too comfortable maintaining the status quo to actually fight for us, but it's the system we have. Contact them anyway. And yes, GOP have their own form and should be contacted, too.
We created a form you can use to send emails to your House Rep and Senators.

If they’re Dems who voted for the CR, it’s condemning the choice.

If they’re Dems who voted against the CR, it thanks them.

If they’re GOP, basically: 🖕

Have fun. Please share:

This is why we must fight for everyone. Whether they’ve been incarcerated or have had contact with the criminal legal system or are merely undocumented. When you accept that some people are deserving of detention and deportation the scope of who is eligible is always under threat of expanding.

Whatever lies are told tonight, here's the truth we need to focus on: Republicans have a very REAL plan to cut the social safety net.
 
I refuse to go quietly and let them make these cuts on the backs of veterans, seniors, children and struggling families.

Republican supporters of the bill say it would make Wisconsin safer, while opponents say it raises civil rights concerns and would erode trust in law enforcement among members of migrant communities.
