Trump Jr. says Brad Schimel on the WI Supreme Court is key to pushing Trump’s agenda. That says it all. Coked up Jr.🤬

We need a justice who’ll protect our rights—not serve Trump and Musk.
Vote for Susan Crawford by April 1st and keep MAGA out of our courts.

Trump Jr. casts Wisconsin Supreme Court race as key to advancing Trump's agenda VOTE AGAINST MAGA BRAD. OUR COURTS ARE NOT MEANT TO ADVANCE A POLITICAL AGENDA, THEY ARE THERE TO PROTECT OUR RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.

This isn’t just anti-DEI, removing people they think were celebrated only because of their color or gender. It is saying that no matter how truly important one’s achievements, if you aren’t a white male you don’t matter. www.axios.com/local/salt-l...
Navajo Code Talkers get "DEI" label as military info disappears under Trump order

While working on some curriculum today, this quote came up as part of a test question. In case you’re wondering, the question was: What is the best paraphrase of Truman’s comment?

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.

Don’t forget folks, tomorrow is a 24 hour national spending freeze starting at 12:00 AM!

No, it’s not going to hurt anyone’s bottom line, but it will send a message… the first of what I hope to be many. People are pissed.

I’m not gonna buy shit tomorrow… nothing. Please do the same.

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.

I ❤️ Penzeys. This box was $5.
Gift box of spices with a smiley-faced blue and red mug drawing and the words, “I got woke. Now I’m hungry!” Four spice containers: Florida Seasoned Pepper, Justice, Transgender Remember Vanilla Sugar, and Outrage.

If you're attending a protest, save this post.

Write any critical phone numbers on your arm with a sharpie.

Knowing your rights, staying safe, & protecting others is essential.

Be prepared, look out for each other, and keep fighting for what’s right.

Stay safe out there!

Trump signed 60+ executive orders in a month—none were for you.
He let billionaires loot, dismantle, & dodge justice. Now, they’re tearing at the Constitution to stay in power.
We must fight back. Monday, Feb 17 at your state capitol. 50 states, 50 capitols, 1 protest.Stand up:

How far does it have to go? How many laws need to be broken? How many people have to be hurt? This should never have had a chance to happen. Now the people who should stop it won’t.

This is really disappointing. I worked with Target when they were pushing hard for games from diverse creators. It was great.

Now I think I'll be much more hesitant to push the family games I'm developing toward them. They can just do more Monopoly and CAH.

Statement from the Ho-Chunk nation regarding the Trump Administration. We have always been here.
10:19 Ho-Chunk Nation • Follow 13h • G .. The incoming Trump Administration has released an onslaught of Executive Orders, many of which have been expected and have been a part of his campaign or residual promises from his first term of office. Not all action taken to date has been foretold in campaign promises and rhetoric. This leaves much to surprise and living in perpetual uncertainty is never a desire of any society regardless of party or faith. The brash actions from the Oval Office to date are likely bringing a lot of excitement and elation to his extreme base but also bringing a wealth of anxiety and fear to a greater part of this country. We are not a nation of dissidents, criminals, and freeloaders. We work, we spend, and try to find these little parts that fulfill our spiritual livelihood when we can without harm or threat to others. Unfortunately, the narrative & profile of who Americans are has changed so greatly that we are now feeling the need to defend ourself from the ill-intended forces of our own government. I cannot speak for all public officials who've been vested with the honor to take care of a greater community of citizens beyond a family and household but I will tell you this, the Ho-Chunk Nation has held ourselves as sovereign long before the government and the Constitution recognized it. This means something. This means we are not a campus, a corporation, or an organization and will not be treated as such. This means we are not a campus, a corporation, or an organization and will not be treated as such. Our sovereign recognition spans centuries from most early colonists to the most present day leaders in government from both sides of the aisle and that we cannot be packaged up and sent somewhere just because we don't fit the President's preference in what Americans should look and behave like. I will not bend or bow, play political games, or accept any threat to any of our tribal members or their families in this ridiculous and irresponsible demonstration of petulant leadership. Demonizing human beings for the color of their skin, the people they love, the bodies they so choose to make decisions for, or the economic class to which they struggle to break free from represents something far from the public service embodied in any oath or promise to the people we serve. As Ho-Chunk people, we are lauded for our ability to adapt socially, environmentally, culturally, and politically. Many of us have braced for impact but now can predict this is going to be a rough ride for the poor and underrepresented. Regardless of the intermittent jaw dropping policy changes and the reshaping of our government perhaps undoing decades of collaborative quality work, I will work with my colleagues to build or strengthen alliances to maintain the quality of care and services to our members and their families. I hope not to believe we are the target of the President and the forces behind the MAGA front steering his decision making but if we are, we will hold our ground as we have long before this new fury against humankind came to be. In the meantime, I will take on a task of assembling impact statements for the variety of programs and services that could be affected in the wake of these executive orders. This won't be easy as many things are left to speculate or are still incredibly fast moving targets. Stand up straight, chin up, find that light, and shoot for it. I'll keep you posted as best I can. We got this! Jon Greendeer President of the Ho-Chunk Nation
