Musk's PAC offers $100 to Wisconsin voters in pitch against "activist judges"
The move reflects how Musk is throwing his considerable wealth behind Trump's priorities — including an upcoming election in Wisconsin for a crucial seat on the state's Supreme Court.

As we watch DOGE and the current US Presidents begin to purge LGBTQ+ folks from the government, a reminder that 75 years ago, the US government purged 10,000 queer people from the ranks of federal employees.

As with the climate, the American catastrophe has already happened. We are no longer afraid, then; we are *in* the distress we once feared. There’s not an “assault” on democracy, the media, the GOP, rule of law, liberal values. They’ve been vanquished. Our language & routines now have to catch up.
