Note: this was a 4-3 decision.
Wisconsin votes on the swing seat on their Supreme Court on April 1st.
Elon Musk is dumping money into buying that seat. If you are asking what you can do to help combat Trump and MAGA right NOW, donate and make calls in that race.

Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky
Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.
He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.
Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Important from Sen Chris Murphy: He says Dems are not functioning as an effective opposition to Trump's accelerating authoritarianism right now, and that this is dangerously complacent.
I pushed him on this, and we had a long exchange. In these four screen caps:
