When Brad Schimel sued Planned Parenthood, he boasted it was an “honor” to have the case named for him: “Planned Parenthood v. Brad Schimel.”
You know who served as Planned Parenthood’s lawyer in that case? Susan Crawford.
Now Crawford and Schimel are the two candidates for WI’s Supreme Court.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

The Super Bowl felt like a “get off the mat” moment for those of us who don’t share Trump's dark vision for America. From the ads to the pregame show to Kendrick Lamar’s flag to the team that won, this was a day that reminded us where the real power in America is.
